Wasuremono 忘れ物 (Japanese noun. Meaning: lost article; something forgotten.) is a musical project driven by multi-instrumentalist William Southward and his love to write, record and meticulously arrange atmospheric indie-pop songs in his shed studio in Bradford-On-Avon, UK. All of the music is released on ‘The Wilderness Records’ a record label setup by William in 2013.

 

Wasuremono have become firm favourites at BBC 6 Music, with regular spins and a session at the legendary Maida Vale Studios. They have supported both The Flaming Lips and Phosphorescent on tour, playing at iconic venues such as Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
