More is a Japanese alternative rock band formed in 2015, often categorized within the visual kei scene but musically aligned with sophisticated art rock and post-punk. The band features veteran members of the scene, including vocalist Loki (formerly of Sugar) and guitarist Nao (formerly of Alice Nine), which contributes to their highly professional and 'mature' sound.
Their identity is defined by a noir aesthetic, blending melancholic baritone vocals with intricate, often jazzy guitar work and prominent piano. Unlike the high-velocity metal often associated with their peers, More focuses on mid-tempo, atmospheric compositions that emphasize texture and dynamic contrast. Their career arc has been marked by a consistent exploration of 'dark' themes through a lens of elegance rather than horror. Critical consensus highlights their superior musicianship and the unique vocal presence of Loki, whose crooning style deviates from the typical high-pitched or harsh vocals of the genre. They occupy a specific niche for listeners who value high production values and a cohesive, moody aesthetic that bridges the gap between indie rock and theatrical pop.
