This absolute gem comes courtesy of blog reader Francesco who was kind enough to send me a number of links to some of his own stash of Japanese rarities. After some digging I managed to find out that these guys are actually a local Osaka outfit. The original lineup consisted of 3 guitarists and one drummer but in their current line-up have slimmed down to just 2 guitarists. I was lucky enough to catch the band last week supporting Australia's own My Disco and seem no less formidable despite the thinner line-up. Nayuta's music is a little difficult to pin down. They craft technical, angular math-rock with some occasional post-punk influences that manages to be both complex and refreshingly unpredictable without ever feeling esoteric or showy. See, Nayuta also carry with them a very soulfull pop-edge that makes them thoroughly listenable. They cover a simillar ground to bands like Ogre You Asshole and the Gellers but while those bands moments of excellence end up being few and fleeting Nayuta manage to consistantly remain engaging and interesting.
