Exist Trace is a band I’ve been listening to for about six years now even since 2009’s “Vanguard.” They’re an all female Visual Kei band who have played in Europe and the US (not California, unfortunately). Lately they’ve been quite active in Japan but a little quiet over the last year when it comes to an international presence. With “THIS IS NOW” they make a return to the world’s airwaves.
Two of the songs, “TWIN WINGS” and “Shout Out,” have never been available except at their live shows in Japan. I haven’t had the chance to hear any of them, actually, so this mini-album is going to be a buy for me.
The track list is as follows:
1. THIS IS NOW
2. DREAM RIDER
3. Shout Out
4. Neo-Japanese Heroine
5. TWIN WINGS
6. BLAST
The mini-album is set for release March 16.
