Brinq Teams Up With Antenna Girl For “Lonely Lonely Blue”

It’s a match made in peppy pop heaven. Brinq and Antenna Girl have both made springy, at-times busy dance-pop over the last couple of years, so seeing the two collaborate on an EP together isn’t too surprising, though it’s also plenty welcome. “Lonely Lonely Blue” offers the first taste of the forthcoming Sayonara EP, and it’s appropriately high-energy. Brinq handles the music, crafting a swift and bouncy electronic backdrop that constantly finds a way to up its own drama — just check the little twinkles in the back. Antenna Girl, meanwhile, handles singing, and holds her own over the quick track (and, in a moment where both artists collide, her voice does get turned into a digital hiccup that ups the energy even more). Listen above.

    [youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYyoaGzNxzU”] “Let’s Go” is one of those songs that’s just dumb to think about. I mean, you could try breaking this down (lord knows I spend enough time psychoanalyzing J-Pop that I’d try) and maybe come away with something. But the latest from The Mirraz is not intended to be a thinker – the girl-tastic…

  • New House Of Tapes: Trip Science

    名古屋のHouse Of Tapesのデビューアルバム”Trip Science”はとても奇妙で、初めて聴く時は少し戸惑うかもしれません。皮肉でも何でもないのですが、この激しく至って暗いサウンドは凄く独特なのです。House Of Tapesの音楽はいつでもまるで耐重力訓練のようで、Gasper Noeの映画を全て通して観ているようなダンス・ミュージック。単純に”House”とカタゴライズできる程シンプルでないのです。 でも”Trip Science”はアルバムとしての完成度が高い事は確かです。“Chaos Tape”に使われたチャイムの音が繰り出す美しくポップな不気味さはHouse Of Tapesらしいギミックですし、“Faint Light”での激しいビートや打ち込みはまるでブラック・ホールに吸い込まれて行くような感覚。去年リリースされた“Starting Point”や分かりやすいタイトルの”Noise Attack”は未だに新鮮さを失わず、アルバムにも違和感無く収録されています。凄く挑戦的な音楽ですが、聴くのは決して挑戦にはなりませんよ。ダウンロードはこちらから。

  • Warped Star: Fu_Mou’s “Green Night Parade” And PandaBoy’s Remix

    [youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXC2ma6UW1U”] Let’s start with some honesty – I probably wouldn’t be writing about Fu_Mou’s “Green Night Parade” had I not seen the video. I’m trying not to imply the song itself is chuck-worthy – it’s half fake-out ballad anchored by piano and Christmas-special singing, which transforms into a semi-glitchy dance track nudged along by sheets…

  • Meta Complications: Maia Hirasawa’s “It Doesn’t Stop”

    Maia Hirasawa presents an interesting dilemma for Make Believe Melodies. It has nothing to do with her new song “It Doesn’t Stop,” a bright blast of indie-pop loaded with Tin Pan Alley horns. No, rather I’m not even sure if I should be writing about her. Her MySpace identifies her as a “Swedish/Japanese singer” before…
