(Japan)
Bialystocks (pronounced bee-AH-lih-stoks) was formed in 2019 following a special screening of a film
directed by vocalist Sora Hokimoto, which featured a live performance of its original soundtrack. The
project quickly evolved into a band, blending cinematic roots with a richly textured and stylistically
fluid sound.
In 2022, they were spotlighted on Spotify’s “RADAR: Early Noise 2022” playlist and released their
major debut album “Quicksand” via IRORI Records/PONY CANYON INC. Led by Hokimoto’s soulful,
emotionally rich vocals and driven by keyboardist Go Kikuchi’s jazz-infused, exploratory production,
Bialystocks creates music that strikes a rare balance between broad emotional appeal and artistic
innovation.
