HARU NEMURI (Japan) is setting the world ablaze after 2 LPs and several world tours - the Japanese rockstar captivated the world with her idiosyncratic poetry. Trailblazing music seamblessly blends genres - from the punk magnetism of KAREN O and FUGAZI to the glittering shoegaze of SHINSEI KAMATTECHAN or the experimentation of BJORK and SUSUMU HIRASAWA. Haru becomes a whirlwind on stage - throwing herself into the crowd without even looking, her performance is so enthralling that it's all but impossible to tear your eyes away, she describes her vocals as poetry rapping - her impassioned, breathless delivery tears into capitalism, the patriarchy, a climate apocalypse and melds with an arresting blend of J-rock, shoegaze and post-hardcore.
