Note: Pure Filler Image That Relates In No Way To This Post As fun as it is to mock Japanese bands who thought a super-stupid sounding name riddled with random capitalization would be a good idea, I admit that those groups are at least easy to Google for.

Guitars wail away while the lead singer subs out anything resembling pleasant singing for a howling screech meant to…
Ambient Exploration: Cokiyu’s “Siren In Tears”
Solo artist Cokiyu has, until now, stuck to a pretty strict style with her music. She makes dreamy, often natural-themed synth-pop that’s equal parts delicate and enveloping. Even simpler…I don’t turn to her music when I’m looking for something confrontational or abstract. Which is what makes her “Siren In Tears” song…available on Bandcamp…such a shaker….
