New Metoronori: “ディナー・Till・☾ ◯”
Whirring, buzzing, faint, distant memory, mysterious, hypnotic, strange, intimate, far, intriguing, bedroom, mysterious, gorgeous, slow-burning (if it burns at all), Metoronori’s best song yet. Listen below.

New Figure: “Make Me Dry”
Nagoya’s Figure pretty much exists outside of any current Japanese music scene going today. His music easily could be classified as DIY indie-pop, but dude’s work is both too dark and too gravely to match up with the rest of Japan’s sunny twee charms. Figure also isn’t particularly arty or wild, discounting him from the…
New May.e: “Bowling”
It hasn’t even been a week since I went into a tizzy writing about May.e’s album Mattiola, one of the year’s most stunning releases and one rich in FEELINGS. Turns out May.e is a restless soul, and also capable of churning out high-quality music at will – you can hear a new song of bare-bones…

New Merpeoples: “Silent Sleep”
Wow, has it really been two years since this? That was the moment Merpeoples – an up-to-that point good band who had a few solid tracks but seemed like a perpetual “pretty good” outfit – jumped to a new level, showing they were capable of not only turning a lame-as-hell ‘80s cut into something wonderful,…
