Japanese/Canadian dance punk trio Gaijin Smash has returned in full force with Mountain, an explosive single from their fresh EP Humans. Mixed by Chris Koltay (Deerhunter, Jack White) and mastered by Noah Mintz (Death From Above 1979, Billy Talent, Broken Social Scene), the track hits with immediacy, sounding all tight and volatile, and sharp on all fronts.
Mountain stands out as a bilingual burst that fluidly transitions between Japanese verses and English choruses, excelling in juxtaposition. The track's naturally wild passion collides with moments of focus, resulting in a dynamic that reflects the song's emotional core.
Gaijin Smash channel tension into propulsion, re-emerging with a very strong release. Mountain arrives paired to a music video, filmed in London, UK by director Sam Harding.
