Coaltar Of The Deepers

Coaltar Of The Deepers is a Japanese alternative rock band formed in 1991 by frontman NARASAKI (vocals/guitar). Known for their genre-blurring sound, they mix shoegaze, post-rock, electronic elements, and even hints of metal into a swirling, experimental stew. Their discography includes quirky, boldly titled releases like *The Breastroke*, *The BreastrokeⅡ*, and *hello there*, showcasing their playful yet intense approach. Over three decades, they’ve built a cult following for their unpredictable shifts between dreamy melodies and chaotic noise, all anchored by NARASAKI’s distinctively raw vocals. While maintaining a DIY spirit, they’ve also dabbled in anime soundtracks and collaborations, but their core remains a gloriously weird outlier in Japan’s indie scene.
