Hakobune is Takahiro Yorifuji, originally of Hyogo, Japan, now residing in Tokyo. Writing music since the age of fifteen, his early influences were primarily punk and hardcore (he also plays in a poweviolence band called Whales). Since 2007, Hakobune has steadily built admirers from around the globe, following releases on labels such as Hibernate, Nomadic Kids Republic and Install, as well as collaborations with the likes of Celer and Pleq. Using guitar layers to create signature, sonic landscapes, his music developed into a perfect fit for the label. In 2011, I, Absentee invited Hakobune to appear on the "Truth Serum" compilation. In 2017, he followed with his excellent full-length debut for the label, "Landfall."
