Shaped by mid-century American music, Hosono’s work now reverberates back through a new generation of Western artists—a remarkable circular exchange. Hosono has been cited by an acclaimed list of contemporary artists, including Mac DeMarco, Cameron Winter, Ginger Root, Vampire Weekend, and Harry Styles. Harry Styles named his chart-topping 2022 album Harry’s House directly after HOSONO HOUSE (1973), Mac DeMarco has called him his “hero,” and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig sampled his work on the Grammy-winning Father of the Bride. 

A founding member of Happy End and Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO), Hosono helped establish Japanese-language rock in the 1970s and pioneered electronic music with YMO—whose 1979 album Solid State Survivor topped the Japanese Album Chart, sold over two million copies, and became foundational to synth-pop, techno, and hip-hop.

Waiting For A Sign is Hataałii’s second album for Dangerbird following 2023’s Singing Into Darkness and, counting an array of self-released projects, his sixth album since 2019. He’s got fans at Aquarium Drunkard (who called him “a master at conjuring a kind of Southwestern saudade”) and was shouted out by Mac DeMarco on The Adam Friedland Show.

Singing Into Darkness won plaudits from SPIN (who called him “2023’s breakout star”), FLOOD (“Hataałii is utterly charming, disarmingly approachable, and delightful in his playfulness”), and KCRW, and was named one of Aquarium Drunkard’s favorite albums of the year. Alongside his music, Hataałii has also published a poetry chapbook, spinning his words out onto pages rather than in song.

With Waiting For A Sign, Hataałii’s careful, artful, perhaps unconscious topicality — his ability to write songs that don’t proselytize or scold but prioritize depth and uncanny particularities and the desire to know the unknowable — marks him as a genuinely thrilling songwriter, someone whose prolific and imaginative output demands close appreciation.

In 2013 the two, who have been friends sincerely childhood started jamming in their parent’s garage because there were no waves. With Zach on guitar/vocals and Billy behind the drum kit the two quickly progressed to writing their own songs and had a set together to start playing some shows locally across Wollongong. Ten years on and Hockey Dad now have an EP, four full length albums and a live record under their belt and have headlined tours across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Canada, the USA and UK as well as played main stage sets at some of the worlds biggest festivals. In the process they duo have earned themselves gold and platinum records in Australia, two top 10 chart positions and a loyal set of fans that have sold out shows at some of music’s most iconic venues. Their fourth album, 2024’s ‘Rebuild Repeat’, marked a turning point in the boy’s sound and has been praised as their most impressive release to date.
