Anamanaguchi releases indie rock album “Anyway” recorded at American Football house

Anamanaguchi—comprised of Peter Berkman, James DeVito, Luke Silas and Ary Warnaar—has long been synonymous with chiptune music, gaining mainstream attention through video‑game soundtracks such as 2010’s *Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game* and a high‑profile collaboration with virtual idol Hatsune Miku that later appeared in *Fortnite*. The quartet, whose lineup is often highlighted in promotional images, maintains a strong online presence and remains closely tied to the gaming community, regularly engaging fans across social platforms and streaming services.

In 2025 the group released *Anyway*, an album that marked a notable shift from their signature rapid‑fire chip sounds to an indie‑rock aesthetic, featuring fuzzy guitars and live recording sessions at the house of the band American Football. Critics noted the departure as a deliberate experiment, while the band hinted at future projects that could push creative boundaries even further—rumors suggest their next record might be recorded entirely inside a windmill. The evolution underscores Anamanaguchi’s willingness to blend nostalgic electronic roots with broader musical influences while staying embedded in the digital culture that initially propelled them to fame.
