Kafka Tamura have been quietly stirring a blog buzz since their debut EP release “Somewhere Else”. The Indie-Pop Trio formed in 2012, when Patrick and Gabriel stumbled upon the Soundcloud musings of Emma. A few emails later, they began to throw vocal files to each other and the first song ideas were born.
It was not until January 2013 that they collided in the real world, meeting in Southampton to record new material and shoot a video. In a matter of weeks, the video to “Somewhere Else” had collected more than 120,000 views, spurring the band to regularly hop between England and Germany to play shows. The hype over this track is justified with one listen – ethereal pianos, fragments of angular guitars, pulsating beats and a voice that drags you deep into the mix, makes for the surrealist atmosphere Kafka Tamura consistently recreates.
