New Boys Age: “I Wish For God’s Sake”
Boys Age are a duo who force you to not make snap judgements. The first few seconds of “I Wish For God’s Sake’…like the first few second of a lot of the songs they’ve released…challenge thanks to the lead vocals. They are far from polished, sounding like a Muppet gurgling water. But give it a…
New Nile Long: “Rush To The Groove”
When The Brixton Academy announced that they would no longer be recording under that moniker but instead as Nile Long, one had to wonder if it would also mean a change in sonic identity. The EP the group released last year seemed to signal that, yes, this wasn’t going to be the same collection of…
New i-fls: Diary Of Spectre
Memories are imperfect things. That’s something home-recording artist i-fls understands so well, especially on his latest collection Diary Of Spectre. We like to treat nostalgia as something warm, something that gets stirred up in us and reminds us of simpler times. Yet that’s just the stuff of movies – nostalgia, once treated as a disease,…
Fufillingy Stuffed: Tofubeats’ Lost Decade
Tofubeats doesn’t really bother introducing himself on Lost Decade, his first original album out on a major label. He’s been kicking around the Japanese music scene since 2006, grabbing attention for his indie-level beats and his work with mainstream J-Pop idol groups like Lyrical School (formerly sex-toy-sponsored Tengal6) and 9nine. Even though this will be…
New Boyish Video: “Crazy For You”
Due to shifting work priorities and a general time crunch (plus, still gotta burn through the new Arrested Development guys), albums tend to get lost in the shuffle around here. We make time for stuff like May.e and (as you’ll see soon enough) Moscow Club…but lots fall through the crack. Like Tokyo indie-pop darlings Boyish,…
Magical Mistakes Remixes Metome’s “Paper Moon”
Kansai producers doing things. Metome has been having a busy January, having released the fantastic Objet album (this year’s early frontrunner for album of the year…note, it has been eight days into the year). Before that, though, he released a song called “Paper Moon” as part of an EP called Phreatic Surface released through Canadian…
New Boyish: “Farewell Kisses”
“Farewell Kisses” was up on Tokyo indie-pop group Boyish’s SoundCloud about a month ago, but now it comes attached with a found-footage video. The song is right in Boyish’s comfort zone – the sort of guitar-driven song that you can bounce along too but also cry to.

New Metome: “Sweeter Than Sweet”
Osaka’s Metome has always been good at making space work for him – as tightly controlled as his songs have been, they’ve always relied on timing to make them snap even harder, and sometimes a second long pause was all that was needed to make a sudden rush of electronics all the more powerful. “Sweeter…
Site News: Hey, Look Up!
Notice anything different? It’s the new Make Believe Melodie’s banner…something to reflect the fact that, when we aren’t talking about Perfume, it’s probably some indie-pop band with a really twee name. Thanks to my friend Jessica Nguyen for making this. Check out more of her art over here, it’s very good stuff. Bonus pointless video:…
Zazen Boys’ Mukai Shutoku Records Acoustic Number
[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md8sf_lyNy4″] Calling anything Mukai Shutoku does a surprise seems a bit foolhardy – dude has jumped between so many styles during his time in Number Girl, Zazen Boys and most recently Kimonos that sharp turns should be most certainly expected by now. Still, seeing a man who frequently shouts random English phrases (“WEEKEND!” “FRIDAY NIGHT!”…
Enough With The Genres: False’s “Just A Little Time”
Maybe I’m just getting old, confused or tiring of organizing iTunes genre tags, but I’m completely oblivious to this “witch house” trend starting to gain momentum. It’s become a very divisive trend perfectly represented by spotlight band SALEM, a group some hail as rap-influenced visionaries while others view them as a near-gag or, worse. I…
Maltine Remixes Porter Robinson’s “Flicker”
So remember when Tomggg remixed Porter Robinson’s “Flicker,” and transformed it into a twinkly little wonder? Welp, turns out that was part of a bigger project. Maltine Records just released a collection of “Flicker” remixes, including Tomggg’s playroom reworking, all done by Japanese producers. It ranges from relatively straightforward brostep chaos (Bugloud’s jarring take) to…
New CVN: “Trash Eye (Second Cry)”
Jesse Ruins called it a day earlier this year, but Nobuyuki Sakuma carries on with the harsher CVN project, which will release a new album called Frost on August 24. “Trash Eye (Second Cry)” is the first taste of it, and it is a harsh one, full of babies crying and shouting, sliced up and…
