toe

toe is a Japanese post-rock and math rock quartet from Tokyo, formed in 2000. The primarily instrumental band — featuring two guitarists, a drummer, and bassist — is known for free-flowing, highly melodic songs built on dynamic guitar interplay, intricate rhythms, and occasional electronic elements that distinguish them from more cinematic post-rock acts. With over 302,000 monthly Spotify listeners and tracks like "孤独の発明" (16.7 million plays) and "two moons" (13 million plays), toe has become one of the most internationally celebrated acts in the Japanese indie scene. Their angular, guitar-driven sound has influenced countless bands worldwide and earned them a devoted global following through albums like "the book about my idle plot on a vague anxiety" and "Hear You."
