In celebration of their latest release, Taipei post-rock quartet Manic Sheep are putting on a show at Aoyama’s Moon Romantic. Entitled Rewind 2014, the new drop is a collection of tracks originally written after the band's acclaimed self-titled debut.
After a busy 10 years, the band revisited the songs in 2024, reworking them into a 12-track album that runs the gamut from shoegaze and dreampop to darker, more krautrock-influenced and instrumental pieces.
Ultimately, the new album provides a snapshot of Taipei’s 2010s guitar-pop scene, one that the band describes as ‘the coolest, noisiest version of Taipei indie music’. Rewind 2014 also features guest vocals from Nobuki Akiyama of Tokyo’s DYGL.
Manic Sheep are bringing Okinawa’s Home and Tokyo’s Dogo on board as support for this gig, which they’re calling Goodbye Blue Monday. Manic Sheep will also play a solo show at Spotify O-Nest the following night.
