Neo soul outfit んoon are celebrating the release of their new album Zoo at Ebisu’s Liquidroom this June. Now 12 years into their career, んoon developed a name for themselves with EPs Freeway, Body and Jargon, catching the attention of fellow genre-pushing artists like Hakushi Hasegawa. The latest release, only their second full-length effort, cements their status as one of the country’s most inventive acts, mixing elements of jazz, soul, rock and electronica across nine tracks that merit multiple listens.
The upcoming show precedes their appearance at this year’s Fuji Rock, their first in seven years since they debuted on the Rookie A Go-Go stage in 2019. The Zoo Fantástica album tour will also make its way to Nagoya on June 11 and Osaka on June 12.
