xiexie released a new song “my time” on Wednesday, May 22.
Formed in 2020 by Meari (Vo/Gt), Yamato Koda (Vo/Gt), Koichi Tobita (Dr), and Teruyuki Kai (Ba), the band released a digital EP “XIEXIE” in February 2021. In 2022, they performed on the ROOKIE A GO-GO stage at the “FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL”; in 2023, they performed at “SYNCHRONICITY” and were selected as the support act for Tommy Guerrero’s show in Japan. In addition, they toured abroad for the first time and performed at the “Ronin International” music festival in Taiwan, and their own project in Taipei was sold out, attracting attention both at home and abroad.
“my time” is an advance single from their debut album “wellwell,” scheduled for release on Wednesday, June 12. The song expresses a new acoustic side of xiexie, with acoustic guitars and percussions creating a light mood.
The album “wellwell” contains 10 songs, including “please me,” which was released in April and features psychedelic guitar riffs intertwined with Meari’s floating voice, “Nile,” in which Koda sings the main vocal for the first time, and the live favorite, “City “kiwi” features the Taiwanese song “kiwi.” The song “kiwi” features Ling Yuan Ko, vocalist of the Taiwanese band I’mdifficult, on keyboards.
In conjunction with the album release, the band will hold an in-store live performance at Tower Records Shibuya in Tokyo on Saturday, June 22, followed by a record release tour in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nagoya in August. Tickets for the tour will be available from May 22 (Wed.) at 6:00 p.m. for the official advance tickets.
