Jakokoyak was a project created by Welsh musician and producer Rhys Edwards, with leanings towards psychedelic folk, sometimes classified as folktronica and lo-fi experimental electronic music.
[2] A native of Mold, Flintshire and raised on Anglesey, Edwards began recording in his second year of university.
In 2003 he released his debut album, Am Cyfan Dy Pethau Prydferth (the title was taken from a badly translated poster on the walls of the Cardiff Union[3]).
The album was re-released in Japan in 2004 and was warmly received in Japanese magazines such as Vogue Nippon.
After a string of releases, Jakokoyak supported the Super Furry Animals on their tour of Japan, which was followed with the release of theFlatyre EP (2006), of which its lead track "Eira" was voted Record of the Week on London's Xfm radio station.
