T Y, the Tokyo-based psychedelic quartet, has announced their debut record Stray Birds From the Far East–a dreamy, pop-infused psych/acid rock concept album about nostalgia for a place yet to be discovered. Accessible, wide appeal for Rock, Psych and World Music fans- beautifully designed and packaged color vinyl and cd.

The T Y sound is simultaneously unique yet familiar–but it’s also moving. ‘Our psychedelic sound is at times violent and at times naive,’ says vocalist and guitarist Masami Makinom, ‘but we also believe our sound is meant to awaken the most primitive senses in order to sublimate the rise of the soul and its uncontrollable impulses.’

T Y is an ambitious band with an ambitious vision, so it’s no surprise some of their biggest influences are known for complex, groundbreaking visions; Far East Family Band, J. A. Seazer, Flower Travellin’ Band, Kikagaku Moyo, YU Grupa, Ali Farka Tour, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppe
