Haru Nemuri - ekkolaptómenos (2025) Hi-Res

This album, her first since going independent and released under her own independent label, Ecoruptomenos, is an ambitious work featuring 11 entirely self-produced tracks. Following her second full-length album "Spring Fires" in 2022, the all-band EP "INSAINT," collaborations with international artists, and live tours both in Japan and overseas, Harunemuri's expression has crystallized into a sharper, more intense style. While pre-release tracks "anointment" and "panopticon" delve into themes such as existing power structures, the poetic language and powerful beats organically intertwine the music, words, and artwork, presenting a consistent concept and powerful vision. In a sharper departure from the 21-track "Spring Fires," the album narrows to 11 tracks, further sharpening her expression, maintaining a dense sense of tension and profound ideology throughout, while boasting a powerful pop sound. This piece shows the artist's current state, aspiring to dismantle and reconstruct the structure from within in order to scoop up the structured and consumed "prayer."
