New Crunch: “Mori No Naka”
Few bands are as upfront about their influences as Nagoya’s Crunch on new song “Mori No Naka.” “Song inspired by Radiohead’s Jigsaw Falling Into Place (In Rainbows)” they write on SoundCloud, and elements of that track certainly pop up in this indie-pop band’s latest. In particular, the driving tempo and the bass lines present here. Yet they also put their personal stamp on “Mori No Naka,” mostly when it comes to the words. The actual lyrics are far more fantastical than Thom Yorke’s hook-up tales – check Crunch’s here – while the delivery is a bit less hectic, the band taking their time in letting the words come out. Knowing what inspired this is interesting, but this is just a lovely bit of indie-pop from Crunch. Listen below.
