Luminousorange, an indie music project from Yokohama, Japan, was founded by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rie Takeuchi. Known for weaving a sonic tapestry that blends shoegaze, dream pop, and a touch of noise rock, Luminousorange has carved out a niche in both the Japanese alternative music scene and among international listeners who have a penchant for ethereal soundscapes and lush, layered guitar work. Takeuchi, as the creative force behind the project, infuses her music with a delicate balance of melody and distortion, which has become the signature of Luminousorange.
Since the late 1990s, Luminousorange has enjoyed a steady release of albums and EPs, continuously evolving their sound while staying true to their shoegaze roots. Their more recent releases, such as "Tigerlily Mixolydian" and "Sakura Swirl (Us)," showcase an ongoing refinement of their art, embracing a clearer pop sensibility amidst their characteristic fuzz and reverb. The album "Vivid Short Trip 7 Stops Farther" encapsulates the band’s aptitude for creating immersive, vivid auditory experiences, while "Drop You Vivid Colours" epitomizes their ability to produce intense, colorful sound collages. The reflective and nuanced "luminousorangesuperplastic" serves as a culmination of their two-decade journey, further entrenching Luminousorange’s place in the annals of shoegaze and indie music.
