Noah And Kidkanevil Team Up To Become Nemui PJ, Share “Pumpkin”
ByPatrick St. Michel October 31, 2016

Got…15 minutes before Halloween ends here, so better get this up fast. As a special Halloween treat, inner-gazing Japanese artist Noah teamed up with Flau compatriot Kidkanevil for new project Nemui PJ, and shared the twinkling “Pumpkin.” It’s a good meeting point between the hushed electronics of Noah — having her voice waft through helps…

Dreamy Safari: Antelope
ByPatrick St. Michel May 18, 2010

I wouldn’t associate the antelope with dream pop…I’d expect such a majestic beast to be associated with something a bit more stampeding, like metal or maybe dubstep if said critter felt particular dark one day.

New Yurufuwa Gang: “Escape To The Paradise”
ByPatrick St. Michel March 19, 2017

I talked to Yurufuwa Gang in The Japan Times today, about their forthcoming album Mars Ice House, one of the better Japanese rap albums I’ve heard in recent years. “Escape To The Paradise” isn’t their most Technicolor cut, though it still manages to highlight most of the sonic elements that makes them such a breath…

ByPatrick St. Michel September 11, 2012September 11, 2012

Well here’s something I didn’t see coming; Tokyo’s Canopies And Drapes went and made a hip-hop track. New music blog Lights + Music (check ’em out!) recently interviewed her, and alongside the guest list feature was a new number called “Chocolate Song,” featuring an appearance from rapper Onomatope Daijin. Canopies And Drapes’ dreamy twinkle sound…

New The Mari On The Beach: Play Music, Sing A Song
ByPatrick St. Michel May 14, 2012June 17, 2012

Osaka’s The Mari On The Beach put out a new album online last week called Play Music, Sing A Song, the follow-up to last year’s lovely lo-fi pop collection Get Out Of Making Music (advice they did not follow, thankfully). This album moves a bit away from the guitar-pop that dotted The Mari’s 2011 album,…

Shugo Tokumaru Further Clings To Youth, Releases New Song With Old Group Gellers
ByPatrick St. Michel March 9, 2011

[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsKb38VDtV0″] Remember the critical meme that popped up last year after the release of Port Entropy, the one where folks became skeptical of pop whiz Shugo Tokumaru because he seemed “creepy” sticking to sounds of kid-whimsy? Still a pretty dumb opinion (in my opinion) but the blog-owning chorus gets a little more evidence with the…
