PWRFL POWER is girl-crazy Japanese exchange student Kazutaka Nomura, who sings conversationally about relatable events like losing house keys, meeting people on the Internet, throwing produce at someone you like, and Mr. Rogers–worthy ditties about being yourself, all atop a twinkling guitar with a soft, beautiful tone. With Shane Tutmarc & the Traveling Mercies and Grand Hallway.

Listen to a sample of Pwrfl Power’s “Keys.”
