New 99 Letters: “Chocolate Factory”

The real exciting news in 99 Letters’ land isn’t really this song – it’s a plenty-good track seeing the artist continue to incorporate new elements into his Game Boy-centric music. This time around 99 Letters includes a creepy wordless vocal smattering, some piano and (of course) the usual array of electronic sounds. A good song, despite not being what I imagine the inside of a chocolate factory sounds like. The really newsworthy bit of this post is that “Chocolate Party” will be part of a new album out…at some point in the near future I imagine. We’ll keep ya posted.

Was the case with their last Maltine Records release, plus a rework of “Soba Ga Tabetai,” and now they’ve teamed up with idol Nagi Nemoto for “Purity,” a skeletal number that puts the…
