Nav Katze, meaning "Nervous Cat," is a female pop rock group from Tokyo, formed in 1984 by Shino Furutate, Miwako Yamaguchi, and Naoko Iimura. The group made their major label debut in 1991, but Furutate left shortly thereafter. In 1996, for their album "Gentle & Elegance," Iimura's role was significantly reduced, and a producer took on the role of lead performer and songwriter, although he was never officially recognized as a band member. This album marked their last release of new material. Outside of Japan, Nav Katze gained recognition for being remixed by European electronic artists, with their remix albums distributed across Europe. Notably, Aphex Twin included two remixes of their work on his album. This acclaim within the "IDM" community led the band to shift from their pop rock roots to an almost entirely electronic sound for their final album.
