maya ongaku release Nothing Space Music on Guruguru Brain

Maya ongaku

Japanese trio maya ongaku have released Nothing Space Music, their fourth album, through Guruguru Brain and Bayon Production. The digital edition arrived on 7 August 2026, with vinyl following on 15 September. The eight-track set was written and arranged collectively by the band — Tsutomu Sonoda, Ryota Takano and Shoei Ikeda — and recorded at their self-built Nothing Space Studio near a seaside shrine in the Shonan area. Sonoda handled recording and mixing; mastering is by Soushi Mizuno at studio MASS. The album's title reflects the group's guiding principle of 自然発生, spontaneous occurrence, and the music moves through psychedelic folk, dub-inflected ambience and quiet improvisation. Pre-orders for the coloured vinyl and digital editions are open via Bandcamp and the Guruguru Brain webstore.
