Review
Tokyo Wanderer is an artist, band, project, that I’ve had on my radar for several years. My interest was locked in when I saw their cassette tape for their sophomore album Sleepless drop on Neoncity Records back in June 2018. The project members have been hard at work since then on their upcoming record Incubus, and I must say I’m excited for it. The beautiful sound comes from brilliant 21-year old Portuguese producer and bass player of the project, Nuno Cruz, and insanely technical and beautiful writer and guitar mastermind João Miguel. Together they are crafting a sound completely new to future funk and vapor funk— almost riding on the edge of the genres at times while leaning into metal, hip-hop, shoegaze, synthpop, french house, jazz-funk, and more. If I had to call it any one thing it would be multi-genre funk. It’s an eclectic combination of sounds, a marvelous amalgam of instrumentation and genius writing.
