Here’s a new Make Believe Mix, highlighting some of our favorite music from July. Lot of variety this time around, ranging from the fidgety electronic sounds of Taquwami, the dreamy meditations of Elen Never Sleeps, the indie-pop stylings of BOYISH and The Paellas, and the surrealist whatever-you-call-it music of Rapunzel8083.

Kobe’s Tofubeats made a mix for the BBC show Diplo And Friends, which you can listen to above! Don’t usually share mixes here, but this one is really good and features so many artists we love around here (Seiho! Avec Avec! Pa’s Lam System! Parkgolf! bo en! So many more!) that it seems like a…
It’s finally here — the long-awaited Moyas EP from Taquwami. We’ve focused on half of these songs before, and you definitely should listen to the whole thing because…well, Taquwami is always ahead of the pack. Get it here, or listen below. Moyas by Taquwami

For Japan, the spotlight falls on The Somedays and their lovely digi-glazed “Remember Me.” Listen to it…and more…below. Click the play button…
Off of their just-released full-length Strings, Boyish’s “Hikoukigumo Sora Ni Hitosuji” presents a way to incorporate saxophone into an indie-pop song without crashing into full blown city pop. Which is becoming more of a problem in 2016 — look, I’ll go to bat for ’80s city pop any day, but the current “city pop revival”…
Osaka-based event night INNIT is a name you will be hearing a lot more about in the more future, but for now the good folks behind the most forward thinking electronic music in the Kansai region (if not possibly Japan) have offered up a good introduction to what the INNIT sound is. In advance of…
Tokyo indie-pop outfit BOYISH will release a limited-run cassette tape called Waiting In Summer today, but you can hear the whole thing online right now. I wrote about it for International Tapes, so go over there to read my thoughts on it. Quickly – I think it is one of the better indie-pop releases of…
