An Ex Decadent

Kagoshima, Japan · Formed in 2000

Formed in 2000 from the remains of Trance Monkey, An Ex Decadent was part of Kagoshima's Satsuma underground music scene.

In a later retrospective account, the band's music was described as anti-pop and melantronic: an eclectic combination of guitars, saxophones, voices, and electronic sounds, shaped by the experience of living in Japan as outsiders.

Surviving recordings are being catalogued for possible release as archival collections.

  • ChrisGuitars, vocals, and other instruments
  • KeisukeAlto, tenor, and soprano saxophones
  • Hi'deAlto saxophone, bass
  • JenyVocals, backing vocals, guitar
