Every week in 2016, pajama-pop duo Lullatone shared a new song that fit in wonderfully in the group’s universe. Which is to say, they zoomed in on the everyday and seemingly tiny details of life, with song titles running from “How Frost Grows” to “Returning Overdue Library Books.” This has always been Lullatone’s focus, and…
Starting Off Strong: Suiyoubi No Campanella’s “Jeanne d’Arc”
One of my resolutions for 2015 is to keep an eye on Suiyoubi No Campanella, a rapper who I totally zoned over in 2014 despite her releasing a bunch of good songs.

New Moscow Club: “Radio Vietnam”
Moscow Club has been playing such a vital part in pushing the current Japanese indie-pop scene…see their C86 tape, for starters…that it’s easy to forget they haven’t released any music since that free mix dropped a few months back. The wait is now over though, as tonight the Tokyo group uploaded “Radio Vietnam” online. What…
