New Bearwear: “I’ll Take You Anywhere”
ByPatrick St. Michel September 26, 2018

It’s surprising how Ano(t)raks turned into this incredible feeder system for slightly larger labels. Call it a mix of having a good ear for great indie-rock, and a bit of good timing too…Ano(t)raks was one of the first places to get ahead of the whole “city pop revival” thing via comps loaded up with mellow…

New Soutaiseiriron: “Neo Future”
ByPatrick St. Michel October 12, 2018

Meat Dreams: Beef Fantasy’s “O.K.U.” Featuring Marina
ByPatrick St. Michel March 24, 2015

There exist two Oku stations in Japan…one in Okayama prefecture, and one right before Ueno station in Tokyo. Given that Beef Fantasy hails from Saitama, it feels safe to say that “O.K.U” — and the sample opening up the song — comes from the capital. It appears to be a pretty boring station, which might…

Post Modern Team And Twangy Twangy Team Up For EP, Where The Action Is
ByPatrick St. Michel August 16, 2012

This is something of a Japanese indie-pop power meeting. Osaka’s Post Modern Team, responsible for two of 2012’s best songs in “Heartbreak” and “Never Let You Down,” team up with Twangy Twangy, fronted by Dai Ogasawara who used to be in the Shibuya-kei outfit Candy Eyes, to release a split EP on one of the…
