"It's a mix of ambient and 'Zambient.'"
Along with that message, TOWA TEI has announced the release of his 14th album, *ZAMBIENT*.
It’s been just one year since the release of their previous album, *AH!!*. The track “NOTHING ELSE 2” features a rap by Bose of Schadaraparr and reimagines an existing song from a fresh perspective, showcasing the band’s intense passion for this new release.
By the way, the album cover art hasn’t been revealed yet. We’re told it strongly reflects TOWA TEI’s unique aesthetic sensibility, so let’s look forward to that as well.
"ZAMBIENT" will be released on Friday, August 21, 2026.
To celebrate, a release party will be held on Sunday, August 30, at "CLUB METRO" in Kyoto. Be sure to check it out!
