2006年末に設立された東京のレコード・レーベル。
the nation’s premier label for hushed music – Pitchfork
Flau releases are sonically quite diverse, from acoustic folk to dream pop and complex drum experiments. And though eclectic, never before has a label’s oeuvre come together to so closely sound the way a cherry blossom looks – The FADER
one of the biggest names in the world of really small sounds…the perfect soundtrack to a Sunday evening – Timeout Tokyo
consistently impressive – XLR8R
Flau has associated itself with a signature sound…association with Flau suggests a superior level of pop craftsmanship…What’s remarkable about Fukuzono’s project, which launched at the end of 2006, is that he’s achieved quality control without uniformity – exclaim!
Flau has shown that sometimes silence beats flashiness – METROPOLIS Magazine
flau seem to have a magic touch; everything they put out..has a celestial, positively glowing aura about it that has us longing for more..sonically the label is incredibly diverse, but what its releases share in common are a playful curiosity, an unmatchable quality and a genre-bending commitment to evoking time and space within their sounds – DUMMY
Flau label casts its net across a worldwide community of artists with a particular affection for fragile arrangements and microscopic songwriting…A reliable resource for all the finest, quirkiest exploratory electronic pop music – Boomkat
it combines genuine emotion with a sense of playfulness – Fluid Radio
everyone’s favourite Japanese label and, of course, we make no exception – Going Solo
constantly surprising, consistently stunning – Dummy
un monde de l’infiniment fragile et doux – Ondefixe
one of our favourite labels – Textura
Flau are one of those unassuming labels, which since 2007 have been quietly making their way in the world releasing a diverse range of high quality albums…their roster of international artists blend field recordings, acoustic instruments, microsounds, and voice, in a sound that has become truly synonymous with the label – Furthernoise
worth finding – Foxy Digitalis
grow, pushing boundaries and releasing gems – Drifting, Almost Falling
An inner experience and pure fascination to little things concept and microscopic sounds. FLAU is the latest Label Of The Moment – Otsechka
the Tokyo label’s dreamy and cinematic aesthetic seems tailor-made for two favourite hobbies: idleness and letting the imagination run wild – Solar Flares
This label collects very particular artists from all over the world all under one roof that eclectically holds them together. Each artist is so unique, that you would like to read a whole book about them – PonyDanceClyde

Format: DIGITAL
Sames WavesはL’ALTRAのメンバーとして知られるLindsay Andersonと、Telefon Tel AvivやSavath & Savalasが在籍したシカゴの名門レコードレーベルHeftyのオーナーSlickerことJohn Hughesによる新しいプロジェクト。
作曲家、シンガー、マルチインストゥルメントであるLindsayとプロデューサー、サウンドデザイナーであるJohnは、初めてのシングル “My Way” / “Night Ride”で、エレクトロニックとオーガニックの美しく奇妙なハイブリッドを作り出します。 Lindsayの艶やかなボーカルと鼓膜に焼付くような甘美さを湛えたメロディーは、来年リリースされるフルアルバムの多様性の一端を表しています。
Sames Waves is Lindsay Anderson and John Hughes. Hughes first crossed paths with Anderson in 2002 when she recorded vocals for Telefon Tel Aviv’s 12” single, “Sound In A Dark Room” which would appear on his Hefty Records imprint. Hefty went on to release work from her group L’Altra as well as additional collaborative vocal work with Telefon Tel Aviv and Hughes’ own projects under his name and aliases such as Slicker. Same Waves represents their first collaboration from the ground up. Anderson, a songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist along with Hughes, a producer and synthesized-sound designer, create a beautiful and strange hybrid of electronic and organic elements on their first single “My Way” / “Night Ride”. The two songs, with their whispery vocals and haunting melodies, represent the breadth and diversity of the their intricately recorded, yet weathered sound that will be on display for their full body of work, Algorithm of Desire, to be released in 2018.
beautifully evocative, meandering piece of pop music – GoldFlakePaint
Slow-Burning Smoky Jams – Aupium
velvety voice flows like a river on the nuanced electronic piece – Le Canal Auditif
