[ THE MOLICE’s music ]

ABOUT
THE MOLICE is a Tokyo-based indie rock trio known for their genre-blending sound that merges alternative rock, post-hardcore, dance, shoegaze, and classical influences. With performances across North America, Europe, and Asia, THE MOLICE's music resonates globally through its balance of edgy experimentation and melodic hooks. Frontwoman Rinko, whose vocals are primarily in Japanese, delivers emotional and cinematic lyrics often inspired by science fiction classics like Blade Runner and Fahrenheit 451. THE MOLICE’s sound offers a bold departure from Japan’s mainstream pop, embracing an East-meets-West sensibility that is as catchy as it is distinctive.
