Water Fai are an all girl Osaka quintet who have been around since the early oo's, are quite popular on the local underground scene (Also close friends with Afrirampo's Pika) and have even gained a cult following outside Japan with some occasional U.S. touring. Water Fai wear their influences on their sleeve taking their cues from Post-Rock luminaries such as Sigur Ros, Mogwai and Tortoise but managed to inject some freshness into the well trodden genre with a slightly poppy, feminine touch. Circle is a strictly limited edition 4 track EP. Limited to just 100 numbered, hand sewn and uniquely designed sleeves. Sadly Circle is only available at their live shows but they released an album back in 2006 which was re-released in 2008 under the name "Girls In The White Dream" by U.S. label White Shoe Records which you should be able to get off Amazon.
From February 8th to the 15th Water Fai will be in New York for New York fashion week to play some shows. Unfortunatley their site doesn't give any info on exactly when and where they will be playing. So if you're a New York resident keep you eyes peeled.
