"Hear You" is a full-length LP by the Japanese instrumental band toe, released on vinyl by the independent label TOPSHELF. On this record, toe deepen their signature blend of intricate math-rock rhythms, delicate post-rock atmospheres and warm, melodic guitar work. The album is characterized by highly dynamic arrangements: sparkling clean guitars interlock with agile bass lines and precise, jazz-influenced drumming, while subtle vocals and electronic textures occasionally broaden the sound palette. "Hear You" feels both intimate and expansive, with songs that build patiently from fragile, minimal passages into powerful, emotionally charged climaxes. The production emphasizes clarity and space, allowing every nuance of the band's complex interplay to shine, making this LP particularly rewarding on vinyl playback. Lyrically and atmospherically, the record explores introspective moods, quiet optimism and a sense of everyday melancholy, inviting focused listening from start to finish.

Extensive touring in Asia, Europe and North America, as well as collaborations with other respected acts in the indie and post-rock scenes, have further cemented toe's reputation as a pioneering and enduring band in modern instrumental music.
