New Satanicpornocultshop: †he R∉v∉rs∉ of Cre⇒p!ng §h∂doωdrum $cr∉∂m “F!sh F!sh F!sh!!!”

Well that’s a title I’m not going to try to put down again.

Osaka experimental outfit Satanicpornocultshop release new albums at a pretty rapid clip, but something about their first 2017 offering really leaves an impression. It is built primarily out of samples…a lot of samples, that is, criss-crossing and turning familiar songs into new mutations. This one grabs your attention right away with “Mobilesuit J.B.” which…well, takes a whirlwind of James Browns and creates somewhat of a space battle out of them. And from there, the group creates a disorienting set of songs featuring older rap and rock tunes diced up into frantic new forms. You could make a strong case this cut-and-paste approach is a nice reflection of the dizzying, media-saturated times we live in…but the group also have at least one outright political moment, on finale “The Wall” which…well, disembodied voices saying “America” and “the wall” sort of tell the story. Get it here, or listen below.

  • Japanese Christmas Round-Up 2012: Miila, Her Ghost Friend,

    Miila “Santa Baby” この曲はクリスマス・クラシックの独自バージョン。今回the Geeksは参加しておらずMiilaのソロとしてのリリースなのですが、グランジーでスローなギターにシンプルかつどこか不気味なドラムが印象的な”Santa Baby”のカバーになっています。Miilaは淡々と歌うものの、その擦れた質感やたびたび登場するノイズも相まって、今まで聴いたどのカバーよりも邪悪な印象です。ビデオは以下から。 Her Ghost Friend Merry Christmas Her Ghost Friendはホリデー・シーズンの為に特別な3曲を用意してくれました。そのうちの2曲はオリジナルで、今までのグループのリリースの中でも1番と言っていいほど優れた作品です(Her Ghost Friendの”Looking For Wonder”は今年のベストの1つだと言っているわけなのですが)。”白い、白い、好き、好き、”はノイジーに始まるのですが、ボーカル、ストリングスとシンセが美しく絡み付いていきます。ハープのようなアルペジオ・フレーズがとても華やかですね。”哀愁のクリスマス – Merry Christmas Dear Girl”はオルゴールのようなサウンドがいくつもレイヤーされていて、とてもユニークかつロマンチック。セットは”Miracle Powerful Beat”のリミックスで幕を閉じます。試聴は以下から。 Yucca “Waiting For Snow” もっとスローなテンポが好みで、クリスマスらしく鈴の音が聴きたい方は、Yuccaの”Waiting For Snow”のビデオをオススメします。ビデオは以下から。
