Nine Days Wonder was a Japanese emo / post-hardcore band that formed in 1997 and were active well into the 2000s. They toured with The Exploder, Envy, Elliott and more. They released two albums, a couple EPs and two compilation CDs, however this post will focus on their first two releases.
Nine Days Wonder instantly clicked with me after listening to their 1999 7", Aluminum. They have an incredibly tight and technical sound somewhat similar to the likes of Maximilian Colby or Sleepytime Trio. Aluminum stays to the mathy, hardcore sound while their 2000 12" strays a little from hardcore into a more post-rock realm with a few heavy hitting tracks scattered throughout.
Akira Kawasaki of Nine Days Wonder was also in Mouse On the Keys, an interesting nu-jazz/post-rock project that is also worth checking out.
I'll be using the Spotify links for this post as I don't have rips of these releases and because the Spotify ones are ripped from their Early Days CD. Unfortunately I can't find extensive scans of the 12" so if anyone can help me out with that let me know!
