New A Taut Line: “Bamboo Holography”

It’s almost the start of December and that means…oh, you probably know. I’ve written variations of that sentence a lot recently because a lot of great albums have not gotten a lot of longform attention around these parts, and you can add Greeen Linez luxurious Izu Street King to that pile. Hopefully more on that soon…but for now, half of that City-Pop-leaning project, Matt Lyne’s A Taut Line, has a new single out, highlighted by “Bamboo Holography,” which you can hear above. It’s a sweltering number that thunders ahead but also carries a woozy vibe about it. Listen above, or buy it here.

    Picnic Womenがやってくれました…いや、良い意味でね!彼の最新EP”II Women”のタイトルトラックは、その名の通り、とてもユーモアのあるジュークになっています。この曲ではMariah CareyとBoyz II Menの “One Sweet Day“が使われていて(特にBoyz II Men)、ピッチが下げたり上げたりされています。でも、この”II Women”はただ単に面白いトラックというだけでは無く、Picnic Womenならではの繊細さが光っています。バックで見え隠れするギターがその巧みなギミックのうちの1つで、そのような細かいディテールが、この少し茶目っ気のある曲を音楽としての完成度の高い作品へと変貌させています。更にこのEPは”African”という”II Women”の中だけでなく、Picnic Women史上で最速の曲も収録。Picnic Womenの素晴らしいジューク・コレクションはこちらからどうぞ!.

Opener “Chlorine,” for example, jumps out as being an instrumental featuring rubbery…

  • Look Forward: Taichi Mukai’s “Speechless”

    Singer/songwriter Taichi Mukai teams up with producer starRo for “Speechless,” a nice electro-pop song that fits in snugly with the “Cry & Fight” song Seiho worked on earlier this year in presenting a different flavor to traditional pop creations. It’s a song full of starts and stops…speechless, indeed…and which jumps between prickly future-bass sounds to…

  • Production Thrills: Marin & Riena “Love Train”

    [youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hkMaDkjDpU”] Few tracks try so hard to sabotage themselves. “Love Train” features so many potential landmines…chief among them that style of “pop rap” that gets under my skin like no other and an over-sugared chorus…that it’s a miracle it doesn’t collapse into one big pile of J-Lo pop trash. Yet the production on “Love Train”…
