Joyful Noise Recordings

Joyful Noise Recordings is an independent music label based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Since its inception in the early 2000s, the label has been dedicated to releasing innovative and boundary-pushing music across various genres.

With a roster that includes *Kishi Bashi*, *Sufjan Stevens*, and *Deerhoof*, Joyful Noise Recordings has become known for its commitment to supporting unique and talented artists. The label's diverse catalog spans from indie rock to experimental pop, showcasing a range of artistic voices.

Not only does Joyful Noise Recordings release albums, but they also offer exclusive limited edition vinyl releases through their subscription service called "The White Label Series." This allows fans to discover new music while collecting rare and collectible records.

Kishi Bashi is a talented musician known for his unique blend of indie pop and orchestral arrangements. With influences ranging from classical music to Japanese folk, he creates captivating and ethereal soundscapes that transport listeners to another world.

Similar to artists like Vacationer, Yellow Ostrich, and Rubblebucket, Kishi Bashi's music combines catchy melodies with intricate instrumentation. His songs are filled with lush strings, soaring vocals, and infectious hooks that will have you humming along in no time.

Having collaborated with notable acts such as Mother Falcon and San Fermin, Kishi Bashi has proven himself as a versatile artist who can seamlessly blend genres. Whether you're a fan of indie rock or experimental pop, his music offers something for everyone.

For fans of Vampire Weekend, Rostam, Andrew Bird, Ra Ra Riot, Of Montreal and Kevin Barnes. Omoiyari is Kishi Bashi’s fourth album, following the acclaimed 151a (2012), Lighght (2014), and Sonderlust (2016). Channeling the hard-learned lessons of history, Omoiyari reflects the turbulent socio-political atmosphere of present day America. Stepping away from his past loop-based production model, he embraced a more collaborative approach when recording, and for the first time included contributions from other musicians, such as Mike Savino (aka Tall Tall Trees) on banjo and bass, and Nick Ogawa (aka Takenobu) on cello. Kishi Bashi’s spectacular trademark violin soundscapes are still an essential component of his sound, but the focus of Omoiyari is centered squarely on its songs. While the theme of Omoiyari is rooted in 1940s America, the album’s message is timeless. In exploring the emotional lives of the innocent Japanese-Americans who were unjustly incarcerated, Kishi Bashi hopes to nurture a sense of empathy, or omoiyari, in all who hear the album.
