Video and record  for the track Galo by O yama O, 2023, Bison records From the Quietus 2023 "On Galo, O Yama O, the quartet of Rie Nakajima, Keiko Yamamoto, Marie Roux and Billy Steiger, embrace an improbable array of sound sources. Whistles and whirling rubber tubes meet percussion that could have been taken from a kitchen. Through it all, violin, piano and drums effortlessly switch from stumbling to soaring. Vocals teeter between tender and rabble rousing. But this motley collection of instrumentation isn't a gimmick. From 'Hakushon's stomp through to the title track's joyful fervour, O Yama O sift compelling and remarkably catchy music from unconventional sources. Galo is an invitation to a place where tradition and convention are twisted in a manner that is warmly welcoming rather than alienating."
