楽曲の大半は割と単純な同じビートの繰り返しになりつつも2分程続く)シンセの波がトレモロのストリングの波と重なり空気感が変わる瞬間が素晴らしい良曲です。ブレークを経てストリングスがもどる様もとてもパワフル。Terrence Malickの映画と調和しそうな美しさを感じさせる物 になっています。楽曲は以下から。
東京のアーティスト、LLLLが今年リリースされた名デビューEPからの楽曲、”Drowned Fish”のビデオをリリースしました。花びらの浮くバスタブや縄跳びが観たい人…もしくは、実験的かつ聴きやすい良質なポップ・ミュージックが好きな人におすすめです。
Batman Winks (formally Atlanta Girl) has been all about confrontation on the small amount of music he’s released over the past couple of years. Obviously taking cues from LA pop weirdo Ariel Pink (and not shy about declaring his love for the dude), his songs have often deliberately been hard to listen to or, at…
“Young Love” is one of the most exhilarating songs I’ve heard so far in 2013. It comes courtesy of a Japanese band I had no idea existed until last weekend called Andersons, a boring name concealing something really special. “Young Love” does a lot of what the music I’ve fallen for so far this year…
Sakanaction’s latest single “Music,” due out January 23, finds the group touching on some of their older material. The way lead singer Ichiro Yamaguchi stretches out syllables in the verses brings to mind the single “Endless,” while the late-song surge in emotion resembles another cut from DocumentaLy, “Monochrome Tokyo.” Yet this isn’t the sound of…
先週東京のデュオ、She talks Silenceが新曲”Walk Away”をSoundCloudで発表しました。Minami Yamaguchiは短いイントロの中で”walk away now”の持つ意味を明確にし、そこから速いテンポで短い3分間程度ギターをかき鳴らしていきます。”I know you’ll hate me”という印象的なフレーズが象徴するように、後ろを振り向かずに前へ前へと進みたい気持ちと共に疾走する美しい曲です。試聴は以下から。
“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.
It’s startling how sweet the singing on Haruno’s first full-length album Filia can sound. Last year’s lovely Flower’s Laugh had similarly pretty vocals, but those came courtesy of a real human — this time around, Haruno uses Vocaloid technology for all ten songs here. Yet despite (or, maybe because of) a visible electric hum surrounding…
Buried in the Make Believe Melodies post graveyard is a very very long-winded entry about Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s “Crazy Party Night.” The not-600-word version — I get what it is doing and I think it is a smart move commercially, but woo boy is it so clearly her worst single to date. Part of me…
Everyday at 10 a.m., I fired up the HQ app and attempt to finally win about $11 by guessing on questions about the periodic table. Before it gets underway, they play this theme song that is the trivia-app equivalent of a Wave Racer song. It’s a daily reminder of the weird space future bass occupies…
[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eJ0zuXIkwo”] Two thoughts: 1. I’m shocked how few “Empire State Of Mind” parody/reworks there are. If LMFAO can release like a bazillion different versions of “I’m In Miami Bitch” simply by replacing “Miami” with whatever city they think can move iTunes units, you’d think more YouTube “superstars” would try to put on for their city…
That’s Osaka group The Marble’s new album…in the hands of an adorable panda! “Bloody Marble” is one of those songs really defined by one amazing part. Everything surrounding the moment isn’t a trash heap, as The Marble first flirt with 90’s era indie touches (the intro) before veering towards emo territory and then combining the…
Under the name Magical Mistakes, Erik Luebs has explored a lot of different themes. He’s zoomed in on nature, creating albums in tune with (and featuring samples of) the physical world around him, and the recently released Cracks In The Surface looked at the process of losing connection with those near you. His latest album…
