New Music Round-Up: i-fls, Yoshino Yoshikawa, House Of Tapes, Talking City 1994
Too much good music has popped up online over the last few days…better round it all up, fast.
– The ever-productive i-fls has a new album out soon, but for now enjoy a song that won’t be on his latest full-length, the “Tanabata greeting track” “You Made A Constellation.” It shimmers and whirs, i-fls capturing a whole lot of wonder and nerves in just over two minutes.
– Yoshino Yoshikawa deals in what he calls “ultra pop,” which is a sort of hi-definition, always-buzzing take on pop. It’s pretty glorious if you are into music being broadcast in high definition (I am), and he’s got a great new song called “I Feel You, I Love You” to check out. It’s high-energy fun, complete with manipulated singing.
– Want something a little more crushing? Welp, here comes Nagoya’s House Of Tapes with a new track that feels like being caught in that trash crusher from Star Wars. One interesting development though – between all those bone-shattering beats, he’s added in vocals, which somehow make the whole track even more unnerving.
Last, Osaka’s Talking City 1994 have a pleasant, bouncy new track for you to listen to. The strings that pop up at the end are an especially nice touch for them.
