PWRFL POWER-Extra ball&Electrified Fruits 2 discs set
$10+2 for USA

$10+4 for international

Following the dissolution of his band Na, Kazutaka Nomura decided to refine his focus: constricting his work from genre-less abandon to more traditional song structures. The result is PWRFL Power: an unconventional marriage of melodically rich, Fahey-styled acoustic virtuosity and conversational, knowingly naive lyrical abandon. With the most basic of building blocks, Nomura forges a uniquely avant-informed brand of outsider folk music--one that relies as much on impish mischief as it does on considered craft and technique.

Within 18 months of his career, he played over 200 shows and shared bills with Daniel Johnston, Spoon, No Age, Mt. Eerie, White Magic, Dan Deacon, Beach House, Wooden Wand, Jana Hunter, Tiny Vipers, John Vanderslice, and countless others.

He is the first musician to be on the cover of Seattle’s weekly paper the Stranger, in 9 years and also the winner of “Block Star Contest, which resulted in him being cast as himself singing “it’s okay” in an Esurance TV commercial.

“Songs with truly infectious melodies and lyrics you’re not quick to relinquish” Impose Magazine

“About time we got someone with talent who doesn’t take himself too seriously” XLR8R

“This is the music you wish you had found when you were 16: Rather than trying to deal with complex problems while sounding profound, his music sounds like the older brother who should have taken you aside and assured you that everything was going to turn out fine in the end” Portland Mercury

I don't actually think love letters like those exist.
But I wish they did. In what world is that real? I want a neighborhood, no, I want a new galaxy.

Really endearing songs you have here! I want to try and see your performance in Tacoma. I found out about your music through that 'Undergound' tv special... very neat stuff. I like the chopstick song alot. :-)

I am perpetually the youngest person in Seattle...but luckily I will always be able to get into the Vera. Sadly, I'm working on Friday night (cool, mature adult)so I don't know if I'll make it on time for your set. I will try my hardest. I leave for NY at 4am on Sunday, though.
Bad timing!
Isabel

Booking is going well. I'm getting the hang of it. No worries about the Spokane gig. We have lined up a great support act. I just need to find another show out that way that weekend. I'm glad to see that your tours are going well.

yeah, i think i'm going to see her on friday. i've yet to see her live, and i've heard too many good things about her show to let it slip by me again.

plus, like most every other guy who listens to indie-rock, i'm in love with her.
