ASAMASAMA rip through toxicity with searing new single ‘Tissue’

Emerging from the shadow of Mount Asama with volcanic force, Japanese art-rock disruptors ASAMASAMA return with their latest sonic detonation, ‘Tissue’. Ferocious, stylish, and sharp-tongued, the track is a high-voltage takedown of performative masculinity, all delivered with theatrical flair and a razor-thin grin.

Lashing out with twitchy riffs and driving rhythms, ‘Tissue’ is less a diss track and more a glam-noise exorcism. “Hey man-child, here’s a tissue,” the band jabs, each lyric slicing through the noise with wicked precision. But underneath the smirks lies something deeper: a reclamation of space, sound, and self-worth. This is empowerment weaponised through distortion pedals.

ASAMASAMA’s aesthetic continues to evolve into something totally untamed yet tightly orchestrated, pulling on the wired eccentricity of St. Vincent, the snarl of PJ Harvey, and the dance-punk nerve of early Yeah Yeah Yeahs. ‘Tissue’ doesn’t just speak truth to immaturity, it struts over it in heels made of feedback and glitter.
