Electronic Roundup: Bruno Uesugi, Nyankobrq And HVNS

Lots of good releases over the past couple of days, here’s a quick round-up:

— Bruno Uesugi celebrated Halloween with Untitled, a two-song set leaning towards the creepy (or at least unsettling). Although they can get harder hitting — looking at the second song here, with its concrete beats — Uesugi manages to give both numbers here a very foreboding atmosphere. Which, well, appropriate given the release. Get it here, or listen below.

— On the cheerier end…new Nyankobrq, who is back with “Happy End.” Although certainly cute — the main vocal riff, in particular, goes heavy on the sugar — Nyankobrq is following the lead of other “kawaii bass” artists in moving away from cloying cuddliness into something more well rounded. Get it here, or listen below.

— Last, HVNS shares a new song of icy future bass with “FLLNLV,” complete with rapped verses obscured by waves of electronics and affects. Despite the cold feeling the synths conjure up, HVNS turns them into a warm and lively number. Listen below.

  • Sounds So Right: Hearsays Prep New Album, Preview With New Song “When I’m Wrong”

    福岡のHearsaysはDead Funny Recordのコンピで知ったのですが、どうやら同レーベルから3月10日に初のフィジカルEP、”A Little Bird Told Me”をリリースするみたい。収録曲の”When I’m Wrong”がシェアされていて、期待は膨らむ一方です。Wordpressには私にこのような文章を書くのを止める機能を付けてほしいです→”When I’m Wrong”は広がり続ける日本のインディ・ポップ・ブームの一例で新しくはないものの、初めてSarah RecordsのEPが売れてから何も変化が無いから問題ないのです、変わらないから良い。”I’m walking through heavy rain!”のようなtweeな文章に春の暖かさを感させるメロディ。ギター・ポップを進化させるのにも賛成です。そういうのが好きな人は是非同じく福岡出身のJAM The MODを聴いてね!そうでない人はこの曲を共に堪能しましょう。
