New Lovely Summer Chan: “Watashi No Sukina Mono”

Here’s a simple idea executed well — Lovely Summer Chan has made a song all about her favorite food and drinks, which she likes to eat all week long. Yet this song takes an easy and potentially goofy concept and makes it work via pure enthusiasm…well, plus a knack for writing catchy songs that turn wanting to eat crab into hop-scotching pop. Listen above. It will appear on her forthcoming album, and you can see a trailer for the song’s music video below.

  • Stuff We Missed 2012: Timothy Work

    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。

  • Frasco Teams Up With City Your City For “My Summer Your Summer”

    This is the sort of collaboration I wouldn’t have imagined making much sense on paper — Frasco dabbles in whatever you want to call the current wave of city funk, while City Your City creates shadowy R&B with a slightly unnerving edge to it. “My Summer Your Summer” works, though, by not trying to find…
