New Eccy: “Braingirl Experience”

ByPatrick St. Michel

Man, I want to be inside Eccy’s mind for, like, half a day. No Inception stuff, I just want to see how he experiences the world around him because if it’s anything like what his music conveys, rainbows drip down his cerebellum. Recent track “Braingirl Experience” hits like a slot machine exploding, Eccy laying down a serviceable beat while letting the entire color spectrum wallpaper the parts of the song not blessed with laser-woosh noises. Like everything else you can listen to here, “Braingirl” ends up being a technicolor treat. Listen below.

  • New HUH: “From Mysterious Yoyogi (with 歌川暁仙、秋房和伸)”

    ByPatrick St. Michel

    Sometimes words fail completely. Weirdo high-art-maybe duo HUH have always made songs bordering on disorganized clatter, so “From Mysterious Yoyogi” isn’t exactly a twist. It’s…interesting, and definitely a nice change of pace from indie-rock/electro dance. If your kitchen could come to life and immediately convulse while letting out a low-pitch shriek, it would be reminiscent…

  • New DYGL: “Don’t Know Where It Is” And “Slizzard”

    ByPatrick St. Michel

    I’m not sure how DYGL’s forthcoming EP Don’t Know Where It Is constitutes their “first” — feel like they’ve put out plenty of others before! But I’m not complaining. “Don’t Know Where It Is” is a driving number, fuzzy around the edges but also fitting in a jolly little passage late — it’s a slightly…

  • 90’s Formula: Honeydew

    ByPatrick St. Michel

    So who do these guys sound like? Yo La Tengo? Sorta like The Smashing Pumpkins? Kinda like Britpop? “Indie music?” Tough to call, but they come off as definitively 90’s as a flannel-clad dude drinking OK soda. Thing is…that’s OK! Everyone is running back to that Clinton-tastic decade…you read a (bafflingly postively) Yuck review? Or…

  • Not Lethargic: Head On The Sofa

    ByPatrick St. Michel

    リニューアル後のタワーレコード渋谷店に遊びに行ってきました。２階がカフェで埋め尽くされていたりして、とても面白いですね。いろいろ試聴してて、新しいCDが欲しいなと思ったものの…一番安いのでも４曲入りのシングルで1000円だし…アルバムは2500円だし…この高価な価格設定がCDが売れなくなっている一番の原因ではないでしょうか。Head On The SofaのEPなんかは素晴らしい上にBandcampからタダでダウンロード可能ですし、今の時代多くのEPがMediaFireで無料で落とせます。 Head On The Sofaの新作Memai EPはギターが中心なものの、キャッチーなメロディーが好印象。一曲目の“Stay With Me”はシューゲイザー風の空間ギターにけだるそうなボーカルがフィーチャーされ、退屈になりがちなスタイルなものの、一直線な飽きのこない仕上がりになっています。一番注目すべきトラックは“Through Your Ways”なのですが、これはしゃっくりしてるかのような面白いリズムパターンが特徴的です。最初は不快に感じるかもしれませんが、慣れてくるとやみつきになりますよ。Dinosaur Jrのようなギターが印象的なインストの“Veranda”はギター少年にオススメ。すごく完成度の高いEPですし、Head On The Sofaは他にも作品を出しています。試聴（もちろん無料で）はこちらから。
