Toko Yasuda is a Japanese singer, songwriter, keyboardist, and bass guitarist. She has played in the bands The Lapse and The Van Pelt before their disbandment, and had a brief stint in Blonde Redhead, although she doesn't appear on any Blonde Redhead recordings. After that Toko appeared in the band Enon. Now she is currently playing on the moog synthesizer with St. Vincent.
Soft spoken Yasuda is known for her smooth sounding voice, simple yet catchy songwriting, and heavy use of synthesizer in song composition, giving the songs an electropop like quality.
Yasuda currently resides in Philadelphia, after being priced out of both Manhattan, and Brooklyn. The New York Times profiled Enon's move to Philly as indication of a greater phenomenon of transplanted New Yorkers to the "sixth borough".[1]
