Japanese indie group The Fin. returns with new single “Over The Hill,” following the release of their Wash Away EP.

A hypnotic dark tined rocker, the track toys the line between a post punk rock sound and something of a polished shoegaze dream state that creates an emotional journey while listening. There are a few familiar elements here that all add up to form something new entirely.

Here’s a description of the formation of the song from the band’s Yuto Uchino:

It’s a story from a few years ago when I was about to move to London.

Someone told me “make a song about this moment” when I was hanging out with some friends at Meriken Park by the sea in Kobe. I made a demo after I went back home, but it’d been untouched for a long time.

I felt just like I was opening my old treasure chest lost somewhere when I was recording and mixing in a new studio.

You can hear the actual sounds of waves and winds which I recorded in the park at the time on the song.

It’s always been my home town that makes me remind of my self and where I am, even when I’m not there.”
