The title track to this new EP is something I’ve already written about over here, so I won’t gush too much more about it. But since that one fist-pumped into existence, it has become my most played song of the year thus far easily, and it is an incredible blast of ecstasy whenever it gets…
What a strange little song this is. Avengers In Sci-Fi’s new single “Sonic Fireworks” jumps from anthem-aping rock to more straightforward J-Rock terrain, but does it in such a rapid-fire way it sometimes feels a bit woozy. This group has never been afraid of launching off in a bunch of directions at once, and for…
Hello And Roll have been creating indie-pop for a few years now, dabbling in swift songs and ones unfolding at a slower speed with extra drama on top. “Gunjyou” follows the prior’s script, and that’s probably for the best as the trio work best when skipping ahead.

Busy week ahead for Cor!s. Constituting one half of KiWi, who drop a new album on the 25th, she’s also made time to share “Hero,” a dramatic bit of EDM-pop featuring singer Akio (Sugar’s Campaign, among others). She creates a slowly building number, full of electronic wisps (that, in a nice detail, bend a bit)…
Future Funk remains a confusing one for me personally, but when it’s used as a backdrop for an original song I’m usually on board. South Korea’s Night Tempo works especially well in collaboration with others, especially vocalists, and the Japanese version of “Catch!” with Antenna Girl certainly works. The original is a catchy bit of…
