Faron Square posted two new songs onto his MySpace in the past few weeks, and maybe this duo will make Monday just a little more enjoyable. “Bliss,” currently in “Demo” state, sounds plenty nice, but the highlight-worthy track is the bouncy “Devotion.” It’s the rare piece of bedroom pop that manages to sound…sexy? Maybe it’s the space lurking around those swatch of wordless singing. It’s a very welcome way to start the week.
I won’t dwell on my workload anymore, but…this extremely busy and active cut from producer Fellsius, released via Trekkie Trax, is welcome at a time when I could use all the energy I can get. The 18-year-old producer based in Tokyo loads up his take on house with as much detail as he can, from…
Though I expect the readers of this blog to be upstanding citizens who probably spent the last two days volunteering at some sort of soup kitchen, it’s possible your weekend was used up in decadent ways and maybe even dotted with some bad ideas. No judgment! Yet if you find yourself in this category and…
Rock dudes Your Song Is Good snuck a new album into stores at the start of March. B.A.N.D. dropped on the third of this month, and that means the group’s got a new single to go with it. Unthrillingly titled “The Love Song” finds Your Song Is Good jamming out a pleasant little ditty with…
Timothy Workが夏にリリースしたセルフタイトルのEPは、わずか４曲収録ながら幅広い音楽性を堪能する事ができます。そもそも、2012年に活躍したアーティスト達はジャンルの枠を飛び越える事が多かったですね。Moscow Clubもインディーポップからよりエレクトロなポップまでこなしていますし、Taquwamiの音楽性は常に変化しています。今回紹介するこのTimothy Work EPにはキャッチーな一貫したテーマ等は無いのですが、純粋に完成度の高い曲の集合体だと言えるでしょう。ミニマルなエレクトロ曲”London Echoes”に続くのは、My Bloody Valentineの”When You Sleep”のギターをよりやわらかくしたようなデリケートなインディーポップサウンドが特徴的な”Waves (You Heard)”。一筋縄にはいかないですね…と思ったとたんに次は色んな意味でエフェクトがかけられたラップが特徴的な”Hollywood!”が…最後の”Roll The Dice”は美しいコーラスとピアノが心地よく、オススメです。ダウンロードはこちらから。
It’s an origin story always worth revisiting, especially in light of “Mineral” — the Jesse Ruins project emerged from Tokyo’s CUZ ME PAIN crew, a collective of bedroom-centric producers who initially dabbled in dark dance music. Jesse Ruins grew into something else entirely — a duo, yeah, but also a musical outfit that explored a…
Celebrate Christmas a little early…or, in Japan, right on time…with a new bit of minimalistic bedroom pop courtesy of NITES. “Fall In The Seduction” features a great vocal sample, a slight new twist from a dude who usually keeps the words buried under all his synth-play. Merry Christmas ya’ll, listen to this great new track…
