New Miii: “Rabbithunt”
Like I’m not posting an EDM-leaning track that samples Elmer Fudd. Listen above.

Glowing Corners: Sakasa’s Coin Bender EP
文化の中心は東京だと思われがちですが、関西も同様に栄えています。それでも大阪や京都の印象が強いですよね。ここ２年くらいその２つの場所ではダンス・ミュージックが盛り上がっていましたし。かつての首都であり、大仏や鹿が有名な奈良はどうでしょうか？良いアーティストを多数輩出しているものの、あまりダンス・ミュージックのイメージはありませんね。でもそんな奈良からも最近Sakasaというアーティストが出てきて、Coin Bender EPでは前向きなビートやノイズを奏でています。”Let your body dance, and let your brain dance more,” と説明されるこの三曲入りEPからは、名古屋のHouse Of Tapesとも共通点を感じます。どちらもメンタルとフィジカル両方に響くので。一曲目のタイトル・トラックなんかは特にそうで、歯医者のドリルみたいな身震いしそうな激しいノイズでビートが構築されています。”Pond”では逆に柔らかな印象。華やかなシンセのレイヤーが乗っているビートがこちらも徐々に重なっていきます。体を動かすにも世界観にも浸るにも適した美しい曲です。
That’s One Way To Launch: New Label Neo-Mo-De Records Releases New EPs By Kai Takahashi And Soleil Soleil
A new label…whether they be net-centric or capable of producing physical object…isn’t a particularly newsworthy development. Imprints start up all the time, so Kyoto outfit Neo-Mo-De Records initially look like yet another bunch of people with wi-fi and musical ambitions, even if they are planning an event in Yokohama this January. Yet Neo-Mo-De demands attention…
New Figure: Exit Error
The music Nagoya artist Figure makes has always been claustrophobic – the albums and songs he’s trickled onto the Internet over the last few years have been guitar-centered numbers where the vocals get muffled out enough as if to sound like they are being sung from the next room over…through a concrete wall. New collection…
Caroline Rocks: “パラレル”
[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYTHoQ-ke3Q”] This one’s for the breathless folks who like more-or-less endless action. Caroline Rocks “パラレル” is a simple guitar-drums-vocals torpedo that pretty much warns the listener where things will be going with its immediate surge of an intro before spilling into sky-high gallop. The band wedges in a few slower instances to catch their breath…late…
New (Kinda) Metoronori: Metoronori Works ’14 – ’18 Pale
In weaker moments, I sometimes think every idea has been done and that all of the exciting sounds from a few years back have just become standard background music for vlogs. This is a touch too cynical for many reasons (usually, I just haven’t eaten breakfast yet), but listening to Metoronori Works ’14 – ’18…
New Figure: “Mary”
This album could have come out in 2018 or 2011 — either way, Figure’s new album Parakalein is a welcome change-up in the world of Japanese indie-pop, a corner of the music landscape that might only be bested by shoegaze in terms of consistency. Figure, though, has always introduced a little more feedback into the…
