MOPHING PEOPLE is an alternative rock unit formed in 2021 by Makoto Miyoshi (RUMANIA MONTEVIDEO) and Litsuko (ex-SHONEN KNIFE). Their music is characterized by a unique collision of roaring noise and infectious, catchy melodies--delivering a sound that is both ultra-noisy and ultra-pop. Infusing indie and shoegaze sensibilities with a distinctly Japanese melodic flair, they have carved out a truly one-of-a-kind presence.

Their 1st EP reached #1 on the iTunes Alternative Chart, and they quickly gained international acclaim, being featured in "Japan Is Loud," a compilation by Cartoon Network's "adult swim" (USA).

With their highly anticipated 2nd full-length album "res andres," MOPHING PEOPLE continues to evolve as a defining alternative rock band. While staying true to their signature alternative rock, shoegaze, and lo-fi roots, this new record sees the band boldly venturing into uncharted territories like math rock and power pop.

The opening song of the album "Movin' On" is a brilliant, ultra-catchy, and clean power-pop anthem that perfectly captures a sense of youthful camaraderie and moving forward. The song embodies the band's current mindset: constantly evolving, unstoppable, always moving, and never looking back. With lyrics like "And I'm gone, I'm moving on / To a place where I belong," it is an uplifting driving tune that radiates a sense of hard-won freedom and determination.

But "Movin' On" is just the tip of the iceberg, the entire album is a masterclass in versatile songwriting. From gritty, cool indie-alternative anthems to raw grunge-infused tracks "res andres" delivers a dynamic sound where every song stands out as a potential hit. It is a brilliant, multifaceted record that effortlessly blends high-energy rock with unforgettable melodies.
