Tokyo outfit LLLL’s newest album, Faithful, just officially came out, and you should certainly hunt it down. To give you another preview of it — one featuring the project’s original singer rather than a guest making a fantastic turn — LLLL released a video for second song “Blue,” which you can watch above. The song itself is more immediate than first taste “Only To Silence,” a good example of how the shadowy unit takes the immediacy of J-pop and takes it to an uneasier place.
Released earlier this month, the VREATH VOL.1 compilation features songs merging the digi-singing of Vocaloid with EDM. This isn’t a breakthrough by any means necessary — ever since the idea of a drop reached wide-spread visibility, producers have been trying to work synthesized singing under the umbrella term — and for the most part this…
Plenty of people can make beats, but a sign of an artist to keep an eye on is someone who can make a beat feel like a story. Firemj — “fire emoji,” if I’m reading closely enough — pulls that off on “Night Coast,” a number that uses pacing to its advantage and shows that…
The title track to this new EP is something I’ve already written about over here, so I won’t gush too much more about it. But since that one fist-pumped into existence, it has become my most played song of the year thus far easily, and it is an incredible blast of ecstasy whenever it gets…
Electronic artist Tominaga highlights two sides of her sound on a pair of albums that came out at the end of May. Limbus gathers several of her ambient, often wordless, creations from 2016 to now, highlighting her approach to constructing sound exclusively. The revelation is she’s capable of squeezing a lot of feelings out of…
It is a soundtrack made for commuting between different places in large urban spaces, filled by swarms of people shoaling and funneling across intersections, subway stations and central hubs like corpuscles pulsating in the cities veins, conducted by invisible algorithms in the symbiotic superorganism that is a metropole. とは、Submerseによる自身がリリース予定の新EP、Algorithms And Ghostsの解説。人の多い忙しい街を行き来する時に聴いてほしいとの事。 初めて東京に訪れた人は誰でもきっとわくわくするはず。ネオンは四六時中光り輝き、人々は止まる事なく地下鉄を乗り換えて行きます。入り組んだ街並みからは、きっと路地裏やビルの陰に色々な物が隠されているに違いない、と思いますよね。でもそんな感情も長く住むにつれ薄れていく気がします。アパートを借りたとたんに、どこにでもある街へと突如変貌する恐れも。 Submerseというアーティストはイギリス出身で、今は日本に住みつつ、日本の首都”東京”から影響を受けたという新EP、Algorithms And Ghostsを準備しています。タイトル・トラックによると、彼はまだこの街からインスパイアされ続けてるみたいです！Burialがこの街を寂しい孤独な場所として表現しているのとは正反対で、Submerseの“Algorithms…
That “Jr.,” at first, looked like just some stylistic flair, nothing particularly spectacular in a country where band names typically LooL LIke thIS. Yet Shiggy Jr.’s new sounds-ready demo “Baby I Love You” proves that youth is vital to this outfit, whether intentional or just low-hanging fruit for bloggers (*raises hand). Like “Saturday Night To…
