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.
Whereas Perfume has always served as his gateway to the radio stations and Pino commercials of Japan, Yasutaka Nakata’s Capsule project seems to work as his in to the cooler circles of the country. With Capsule he could edge away from the pure-pop chewing gum of his highest-profile gig to make songs ready for the…
Memories on memories, really: bedroom producer / suburban nostalgia dealer i-fls’ latest release takes songs from two 2013 releases (Wished Nightmare and Decade In A Day, both now deleted) and finds the reclusive producer reworking them and adding a few new elements into them. ” I had distrust to degree of perfection for this two…
