Tokyo/Europe Folk

Six months after frolicking through Tokyo's live houses with the chipper Jonny, his 'indie superduo' with Teenage Fanclub's Norman Blake, former Gorky's Zygotic Mynci lynchpin Euros Childs returns in support of a darker new album of solo material, the piano-led Ends. He's sharing a bill with Leo Imai, the bilingual singer-songwriter whose profile got a substantial boost this year thanks to Kimonos, his duo with Number Girl's Shutoku Mukai.
