OK, this time I checked around – I think this is a Puffyshoes’ original. It isn’t the Michelle Branch song (though that could be interesting), it isn’t ’80s group Scandal’s take. Ain’t the Ed Sheeran version which sucks so bad I won’t even link to it. So…here’s a totally fresh song from Puffyshoes, who do what they do oh so well. Listen above.
Talking City 1994 are one of those outfits that is constantly releasing new music, uploading new songs to SoundCloud at a very fast clip and forcing anyone interested in them to always be on their toes. It can oftentimes feel like they are just spitting songs out into the online void, without much cohesion. Plenty…
(Editor’s Note: I’m moving to a new apartment in two days, so posts might be on the briefer side. Gotta pack!) Footwork producer FOODMAN already released one great off-the-wall album of music recently…and now he’s back with another on Hiroshima’s Dubliminal Bounce. Are Kore opens on the harsher end of the spectrum and along the…
Tokyo producer Taquwami just uploaded a new track to the Internet, which means I must accept not going to bed early to post it. I’m OK with this. “T Eyes” features the same vocal-chopping technique that dotted last year’s great Blurrywonder, but whereas that album especially emphasized the skittering, here the chopped singing is balanced…
Cubismo Grafico has gotten reflective plenty of times in the past, but this new cut is especially rich in ennui. It’s a slow stroll of a song featuring some looped samples (lending this some “Shibuya-kei in the twilight” vibe) and sung in…French, at times. Perfect for an end-of-the-day beer. Listen below.
I’ve been pretty resistant to The Boys Age for 2013. This indie-pop duo have been releasing a near continuous stream of music into the digital wild, and has nabbed some nice label relations with, like, Burger Records. Something never clicked between me and their music though – most immediately, the vocals always sounded way too…
いわゆる”レイブ”という所には行った事がないので、もし誤解を招くような発言があったら申し訳ないです。イメージしているのは、日常から解き放たれ、そのトランス状態を楽しむ為のイベント。大阪のSeihoの新曲、”I Feel Rave”も、そのイメージに近いです。軽快なビートの上で、様々なトーンを行き来する複雑に調律されたボーカルが、繰り返し”I feel you”と歌い、リスナーを幻想の世界へと呼び込みます。この曲はSeihoを次のリリースへと繋げる堅固なステップと言えるでしょう。 レイブと聞いて他に思い浮かぶのは…偏見かもしれませんが、ドラッグです。Seihoは幻覚を思わせるような工夫を曲に入れていて、後半の水滴が落ちるような音の後、ボーカルは更にめちゃくちゃになっていきます。終盤にこういった工夫もいれる事で、曲のユニークさが際立っています。視聴は以下から。
