The fin.

Gravity

The fin. is a group comprised of Yuto Uchino (vocals, synths and guitar) and Kaoru Nakazawa (bass). To date, they have performed worldwide at several major festivals including Fuji Rock, SXSW, The Great Escape, Summer Sonic, MaMA Festival in France, Strawberry Festival in China, as well as festivals in India, Mongolia, Thailand and Malaysia. The release tour for their latest album “There” has attracted a crowd of ten thousand fans worldwide and allowed us to tour as support artists for Phoenix and Wild Nothing. Based in Britain for a while, they developed collaborations (writing, recording, and touring) with many British artists and producers such as Brad Spence, All We Are, Circa Waves, Last Shadow Puppets, Petite Noir and more . Their song “Come Further” was added to Spotify’s New Music Friday UK playlist, and they have achieved over two million plays on the platform with their music, which has been described by some as an Europhile blend of synth-pop, chillwave and dream-pop, completed by English lyrics addressing universal themes of everyday uncertainties. Their new EP, the astral psych pop "Wash Away", was released in September, 2019.
