The fin. is the brainchild of Japanese producer/songwriter Yuto Uchino who single-handedly writes, records, mixes and produces. Bassist Kaoru Nakazawa--formerly a drummer in the project's early works--joins Uchino in the touring incarnation. The duo hail from the port city of Kobe, though their sound has reverberated across the world, particularly in the west, where it has drawn praise for its Europhilic blend of chillwave, dream pop, shoegaze, and kaleidoscopic psych grooves. Uchino's lyrics affirm the uncertainty of growth and change, often channeling deeply introspective themes into addictive melodies.
