Seiho posted this new song, “So Far,” yesterday, and it is definitely worth your time. It is the first track of his in a while not to feature some sort of mutated vocal sample – here, he just lets his electronics warp themselves around into a really colorful beat. Listen below.
Visuals play a massive role in yahyel’s existence as a band, exemplified at this year’s Fuji Rock Festival. The video for forthcoming single “Rude” played during that set, and was easily the most unnerving part of the band’s set, and it remains just as creepy in an uncanny valley way on its own. It’s also…
This year has seen a lot of really good Japanese indie-pop music spring up, but this scene has also been a bit male-centric. Some bands to pop up in 2012 feature women playing in the band, but they are rarely at the forefront of the group and, save for Osaka’s Twinkle Twinkles and (if you…

It’s one to bathe in, at least for a little bit — the first stretch of the song features sampled chanting played behind the sort of synths…
