Indie Corner Week 19: Penguinrush

Penguinrush is a four-member pop band that wants to merge the styles of funk and jazz into modern J-pop. Bassist Kotaro and keyboardist Mayu bring out a unique fusion of styles that puts listeners into a trance at each listen of their songs' beats. This is further amplified with the fusion of Miyo’s calming vocals and the beat courtesy of her fellow bandmates. This all is orchestrated into a nice exhibition of how a modern jazz band should sound. Their song “RET” is an great example of thier unique style that they bring to the genre 

Currently Penguin rush has released three singles: “une” (2016), “yoasobi” (2017), and “Chorus” (2017). They also released debut album No size this past August.
