Haru Nemuri – iconoclasm
Experimental poetic-punk artist HARU NEMURI has announced the release of her latest single, “iconoclasm.”
The track serves as a lead single from her highly anticipated upcoming album, ekkolaptómenos, scheduled for release on Friday, August 1.
“iconoclasm” stands as a defining work of HARU NEMURI in 2025, a fierce anthem that resists the cycle of exploitation and violence, expressing unwavering intent through the form of prayer. Built on a powerful interplay of commanding brass sections and contemporary beats, the track encapsulates her unique sonic identity and unrelenting message.
In addition, HARU NEMURI has announced that more details will be revealed over the next three days for three newly added shows in Ibaraki, Nagano, and Fukushima as part of her nationwide tour in support of ekkolaptómenos, which kicks off this October. The tour promises to be an intimate yet experimental journey, as HARU NEMURI’s poetry and sound evolve and resonate uniquely in each location.
HARU NEMURI will head to North America this September for her “ekkolaptómenos” North American Tour 2025. The tour will bring her visceral, high-energy live show to nine major cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Toronto, marking her return to international stages where her cult following continues to grow. Blending poetry, punk, and experimental soundscapes, HARU NEMURI has earned a reputation for pushing musical and emotional boundaries. With a confirmed slot at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL ’25 and a global album tour on the horizon, she continues to defy conventions and assert her place as one of Japan’s most uncompromising and compelling voices. Tickets are on sale now.
HARU NEMURI will appear at a special advance screening of KNEECAP at Cinema Qualite in Tokyo on Thursday, July 24, joining acclaimed music writer Shiho Watanabe for a post-screening talk event that explores the film’s themes and intersection with music and resistance.
With anticipation surging ahead of the album drop, industry tastemakers and die-hard fans alike are watching closely ready to witness the next uncompromising chapter from one of the most fearless voices in music history today.
