New ELEN NEVER SLEEPS: “The Golden Minor”
ByPatrick St. Michel August 31, 2011

Pulling off an intimate atmosphere in music isn’t easy, but completely doable in various ways. One could always go for minimalism, using as little as possible to create the feeling of staring someone in the face, like The XX. There is also the sexy R&B route, but that’s not exactly the “intimacy” at hand. ELEN…

This Is Definitely Cheating: Fizzy Dino Pop
ByPatrick St. Michel October 11, 2009

Electro-duo Fizzy Dino Pop doesn’t technically hail from Japan (they come from Austin, Texas), but MySpace indicates one of them at least hails from Kyoto and their sound definitely shares a lot of similarities with the Land of the Rising Sun’s pop scene, specifically one teched-out group of girls. A listen over the group’s music…

Tokyo duo Young Juvenile Youth, which consists of singer/songwriter Yuki and producer Jemapur, have a proper debut mini-album called Animation out this month, and they’ve shared the unsettling title track (with equally unnerving video). It’s a skeletal affair, highlighted by Yuki’s words (which veer from devotion to utterances about how she can’t kill you). This…

New Yunomi: “Sunday Morning Coffee”
ByPatrick St. Michel July 10, 2015

One of the reasons the great idol boom of the last few years seemed so exciting was that the sudden influx of groups filled with young women were also forcing the people behind these projects to actually think about the music. And, for a bit, idol music was probably some of the most adventerous (well,…

Miila And The Geeks Cook Something Up In The Kitchen…It’s “You Don’t Liar”
ByPatrick St. Michel August 16, 2011

[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dAYNadqeCU”] Versatility in action! Miila And The Geeks recorded a video for “You Don’t Liar,” but instead of reheating bland music video tropes for a quickie, the trio did a special version of the tune…in the kitchen. Using wooden spoons, forks and what appears to be a metal bowl, they cook up (sorry) a cute…
