New Ghostlight Featuring Nogawa Kazune: “Kimi No Suki Na Yoru No Hanashi”

Even with the beat gently pounding away, the first half of the latest creation from Ghostlight sounds like something you could wrap yourself up in. It’s all string plucks, twinkly electronic notes and the near-whispered voice of guest Nogawa Kazune drifting over the playroom skip. It’s calming and somewhat heartwarming (the lyrics reveal a little bit of lingering pain, but everything else bandages it) — and then near the end it really lets go. The beat picks up, the singing gets ever-so-slightly louder and this track ends on a bumping note. Listen above.

  • Live Must: Ningen OK

    Ningen OKは是非ライブを観てほしいバンド。彼らについてあまり詳しく知らなかったものの、先週末のライブセットは最近観たライブの中でも特に印象に残っています。手作りの白いピラミッドのようなオブジェに囲まれて彼等は演奏を開始。ギターTakurou Yamashitaは大量のペダルの前で演奏し、ドラムのKen-ichi Sakaguchiは時折ボコーダーを使用し、怪しい機械的なボーカルを披露。言葉が無いインストでもこのデュオには高度な一体感があり、ロックなグルーブ感を出しています。 ライブハウスだけで輝くのではなく、録音された作品も同様に素晴らしいです。”体温の行方”は静けさを打ち砕くカオスみたいなものが上手く表現されていて、Ningen OKの核となるスタイルを知るにはもってこいな曲(フィードバックを是非体感してほしいです)。試聴は以下から。最近リリースされた同タイトルのファーストアルバムからの曲なので、もし気に入ったら通して聴く事をオススメします。要するに、Ningen OKの音源にはライブから感じる事の出来る素晴らしさが詰まっています。是非ブックマークを。
