Bands don’t typically use end-of-world scenarios as source material for their music. But Tokyo-based duo Roth Bart Baron (@rothbartbaron) thrive on doing just that: Their feature-length debut speculated on a sudden glacial shift blanketing the earth, while upcoming sophomore effort, “Atom,” draws on vocalist Masaya Mifune’s childhood visions of an apocalyptic future.
It’s a timely thought, given that Japan is still collectively and culturally coming to terms with 2011’s Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster, with a strong anti-nuclear sentiment frequently visible at protests and demonstrations.
“The government is optimistic that stopgap festivities like the 2020 Olympics might make a difference, but make no mistake, Japanese people are calling out for new ideas and real change,” says Masaya. “It’s hope mixed with despair. That’s what we were thinking of when we made ‘Atom.’”
