Magical MistakesのEverything Uncertainが今週発売されました。Day Tripper Recordsからリリースされたフル・アルバムとしては最新作です。もし家から出たくないのであれば…Day Tripperのサイトからも購入可能です。新曲”Later On”のビデオも上から見れます。Magical MistakesはDay Tripperのアーティストの中でも突出した個性があり、本作ではそこがさらに強調されています。”Later On”は、パキパキした質感のアコースティック・ギターやトライバルな楽器が、エレクトロ要素と共鳴し、オリエンタルな雰囲気の強い楽曲になっています。これから関西のシーンをリードしていく存在になり得る独自性が見られます。でもビデオは…昆虫が苦手な人は【閲覧注意】です。
Madegg Releases New Mixtape, 3
Madegg is a tough one to pin down. The Kyoto producer has been one of the most prolific electronic artists of the last few years, to the point where keeping track of everything he’s done has become a real challenge (shouts out to whoever is keeping tabs on that for the Madegg box set). One…
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…
Weekend Round-Up: New Tracks From Eadonmm, Hisamokuden-kow, Tofubeats And Guchon
A lot of good stuff came out over the past few days – let’s do a quick round-up of the finest new tracks from across Japan. – Kyoto’s Eadonmm just keeps on creeping on. His latest song is called “If You Melted,” and it gets more sinister from there. It is a rumbling, skeletal song…
New Talking City 1994: Roll Dance She Take EP
Late last week, we wrote about how Osaka’s Talking City 1994 had a new song called “Shine” available on their SoundCloud page. Turns out “Shine” was a preview of a new EP the off-kilter released over the weekend, called Roll Dance She Take. It’s only three songs long, but the tracks here do show the…
New LLLL Video: “Because Of My Eyes”
東京のデュオ、LLLLの新しいビデオ”Because Of My Eyes”は、まるで週末に夜遊びしているかのような光景。眩しいライトやビデオエフェクトは酔っぱらっているような気持ちにさせてくれます。全て白黒で撮影されていているこの作品では、街を散歩したりクラブで踊ったり、気づけば女性がこちらを眺めていたり。J-Popからの影響が強いものの、LLLLらしい少しダークな雰囲気で日本のパーティーライフを体験できます。ビデオは上から。
New Elen Never Sleeps: “Slow (Neu)”
“Slow” originally appeared on Moscow Club’s C86 compilation back in the spring, but has now been touched up a bit (hence the “Neu” in the title) and sounds a lot crisper than Elen Never Sleeps’ original version. Well, it sounds as crisp as something so hazy can sound – the song title is almost an understatement, because “Slow” practically crawls, the guitars and drums sounding glacial. It’s all intentional, though, a decision meant to match up with Elen Never Sleeps repeated cries of “but you slow down/slow down/slow down,” delivered in a dejected-but-pretty voice that this project has gotten so good at utilizing. The original version was good, but this slightly fleshed-out version shows what can happen when an artist spends time perfecting their creations. Listen below.

Soaking In: Kei Sato’s “More Than Anything”
Via Progressive Form, electronic artist Kei Sato recently released a new album called Wherever Waterfall, and the recently shared “More Than Anything” is a great gateway into the absorbing electronic sounds of his latest. It isn’t pure chill-out material — Sato inserts a dramatic build and plenty of electro-flair to keep this one moving, but…
Psych, House: Tonbo’s Visions
Turns out we still have some late 2018 music to catch up with. Producer Tonbo’s Visions embraces techno and house elements, but with the edges frayed. This isn’t some massive innovation or anything, but at its best this short release offers up some of the more disorienting electronic moments we’ve heard in recent memory. In…
New Mass Of The Fermenting Dregs: “Slow Motion Replay”
Feels nice getting to write that! It has been a while since Mass Of The Fermenting Dregs, well, were even together, let alone putting out new material. Yet here they are in 2017, prepping a new single and sharing the video now. Reunions — or coming back from hiatuses, I feel either works when talking…
Toyohirakumin Teams Up With Eeyore: Respective Mood
To talk about vaporwave in 2015 is ridiculous, mostly for all the same reasons it was in 2013 with the added bonus of whatever scene sprung up around this late-capitalism-baiting sample music is treading water at this point. Yet I’ll admit to still having an interest in the stuff, in particular the stuff Japanese artists…
Hundred Strong: DJ PCDJ’s “Z O W N”
Some projects, you just have to give a little distance and see where they are going. DJ PCDJ is…I’m pretty sure…a juke-leaning project involving CRZKNY and at least one other person, and they have been releasing songs at a pretty constant rate, running from lush meditations to more rumbling fair. “Z O W N” marks…
New Uchu Nekoko And Lovely Summer Chan: “Divine Hammer”
DIVINE HAMMER – 宇宙ネコ子とラブリーサマーちゃん from Abi Laurel on Vimeo. The run up to Uchu Nekoko’s new album continues, and now a new video for their song with Lovely Summer Chan “Divine Hammer” is out. The music itself reminds that they haven’t gone full laid-back, as “Divine Hammer” is a galloping shoegaze-leaning number made light by…
