Biography
Tokyo, Japan (1999 – present)
Their debut album, ‘Happiness’ (Noon records, 2003), was quickly followed by a tour with Australia’s Art Of Fighting and then their 2005 release, ‘Make These Things Alright’, the band’s second full length album.
That same year saw a tour with Canada’s Below The Sea, with whom the band also collaborated with to record a split e.p., released on Preco Records, the label of Tokyo music store LINUS RECORDS.
In 2006, things started off with the inclusion of ‘Grasslands’ on the Where Are My Records compilation c.d., “Je T’aime”, before the band headed into the studio to record probably their most distinctive, beautiful and accomplished material to date with the painted e.p. (Thomason Sounds). The e.p. was once again recorded by toe’s Takaaki Mino, who has produced all of their material to date.
The release of the painted e.p. was followed by a Japan tour with Thomason Sounds label mates Tracer AMC from Northern Ireland, as well as securing a worldwide distribution deal with Darla Records.
Their fourth album, was recorded in Tokyo in the Spring of 2011, “The Day Will Come Before Long” sees miaou push on into more electronic territory than before – bigger synths, broken up samples and glitchy guitars. Mixed by electronic extraordinaire Cornel Wilczek (Qua) in Australia and featuring some achingly beautiful vocals from special guest singers in Ben Cooper (Electric President/Radical Face) and Ben Holton (Epic45).

Miaou's music can easily be purchased at a decent price in Europe. Amazon has had All Around Us, Make These Things Alright and Painted for under £8 for at least a year and a half. The Day Will Come Before Long was a little trickier to find but I didn't pay more than £10 for the album. Admittedly, Happiness is harder to track down but it isn't quite up to the quality of All Around Us or Painted so shouldn't be a first port of call for purchases in my opinion.

i just wanted to say that the only complaint i have about miaou would be that one can't get their music legally at a decent price in europe. and then i found out that they're even on bandcamp! who-hoo! :)

"generic post-rock"?! first of all - there aren't that many post rock bands in the first place. secondly, so far, i've only found FIVE post-rock bands i consider worth listening to. miaou being one of them. AND i was damn surprised to find out that they're from japan! which... has nothing to do with wether it's generic or not but based on the sound, i for sure would've thought skandinavia. maybe north america.
