Tokyo-based Seiko Nemoto is the singer and songwriter behind i-nichi, who release their debut single on the Spinout Nuggets label this May. Seiko is joined on the record by multi-instrumentalist Philip Collings for three highly original songs, Mimiko, Richard Sinclair, and Dear Mr. David Shrigley.
Produced and engineered by Ben Turner at Axe & Trap Studio in Wells, Somerset, the limited edition yellow vinyl seven inch single will be released on Friday 31st May, and to celebrate Seiko and Philip will be joined by Ben on drums and Billy Shinbone on guitars and whistles for a one-off performance at Clocktower Music in Bridport, Dorset.
Seiko had previously come to the attention of UK audiences when her band Dai-Nichi supported The Chesterfields on tour in 2019, and at Seiko’s invitation Simon Chesterfield will also be performing at this Clocktower Records launch party, unveiling his new band in advance of his first solo album being released in October.
Seiko’s unique take on songwriting, coupled with a love of Captain Beefheart, Gang of Four, Devo and early UK prog rock has now manifested itself in this wonderful limited edition 7 inch single!
