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

SELA.とのスプリットEPがGorilla VS. Bearのミックスに使用されるなど、注目を浴びる若き才女Noahによる新作ミックステープ『TWO』。Magic Fades, Saint Pepsi, Vektroidらをプロデューサーに迎え、ファーストアルバム『PAID2013』をリリースしたばかりの21歳のラッパーSiddiqが、SELA.とのスプリットを聞き、熱烈なオファーによって実現したコラボレーション作品です。Chopped & Screwedを生み、ヒップホップの歴史を更新し続ける都市ヒューストンと遠く名古屋をインターネットで結んだニューエイジ。夕暮れのスカイライン、ニューロマンティックの幻影と、緩やかなメロウネスに彩られたフェイク感溢れるサバーバン・ミュージックの誕生です。
Noah’s new mixtape feat.21years old Vaporwave artist/rapper Siddiq from Houston. aspiration to armchair 80’s, Seeming suburban music.
“Noah’s production finds a good balance between the sonic hallmarks of vaporwave but never sounds like cheap imitation. The addition of her voice goes a long way, though the way she uses vocals in general is her best technique thus far in her young career” – Make Believe Melodies
1. 11:30pm in El Paso (intro)
2. NxS
3. Do the Right Thing (DTRT)
4. From Houston, With Love

My current favourite adjective is “suave” and that it the perfect word to describe Two by Noah feat. Siddiq. This 4-track album has class, jazz, and a little bit of ambience for a lovely evening alone or with other people. Noah infuses different genres into her own style of music and ladies and gentlemen, it is ah-mazing – But I’m Not Hipster
