★First press limited edition★With obi

Tocago, an alternative indie folk band that draws on the roots music traditions of US indie folk and country, has announced their long-awaited vinyl release! Their unique alternative sound, with its soft yet powerful sound and uniquely crafted songs, is a must-listen!

Tokyo-based alternative indie folk band Tocago has announced the release of a vinyl record featuring their two EPs, "How are you feeling?" and "Wonder," as well as the single "Ie" (Home). Originally a singer-songwriter, Chizuru Oki is joined by a talented lineup of musicians, including Satoshi Isobe (bass), also a member of KiQ and Pune Loi; Asuka Mori (guitar), who has released ambient music himself; and Takumi Isobe (drums), a member of South Penguin and Guiba, who also supports various artists. Tocago's style naturally incorporates the human qualities of US indie folk, incorporating sonic textures and soothing melodies. The powerful yet fragile voices of vocalist Chizuru Oki perfectly sync up with their Japanese vocals, creating a sound that appeals to a wide range of listeners, from those who prioritize feeling and groove to those who gravitate toward vocals and lyrics.

This is the band's first vinyl release, featuring a number of outstanding tracks, including the title track from their debut EP, "Wonder," which was released as their debut single and is filled with the soul of East Coast indie folk, a feeling that is both beautiful and tingly at the same time; "Koper," from their second EP, which is infused with a more country and pastoral feel; and "Yellow Sand," where each instrument perfectly balances the vocals, blending freshness and depth!
