Kuroguremore (half of Soft As Snow But Warm Inside) Has New Song: ” TRILITHOИ + MEИHIR/U.F.O.V.H.S.”
When Soft As Snow But Warm Inside called it quits earlier this year, it was nice to see at least half of that band go off and launch a new project, Kuroguremore. And it was a heck of a departure from the shoegaze-leaning indie-pop his original outfit made – with first song “The Oregon Vortex,”…

Three releases deep now, and Kyoto’s NC4K label now looks like a legit player to keep an eye on when it comes to electronic music in Kansai.

A nice pre-Christmas gift for fans of netlabel Maltine Records or netlabel-inspired imprint Zoom Lens. The two have collaborated on a special release for this Christmas, featuring one new song each from Japan’s Mikeneko Homeless and American artist Yotsuba Lifestyle (with each remixing the other’s track, natch).
