New Spangle Call Lilli Line Featuring Moto Kawabe From Mitsume: “Feel Uneasy”

The news hook is that Spangle Call Lilli Line have a new album, Ghost Is Dead, out on November 11. The intrigue is in the inclusion of Mitsume singer Moto Kawabe on the song “Feel Uneasy,” the first taste of the full-length since July’s “Azure.” Given Spangle Call Lilli Line’s long-running existence, it feels like a bit of a christening, of pulling him into the universe of a band who boast one of the more consistently great song catalogs in Japanese rock. Yet ultimately — and as it should be — the song itself is all that really needs to be focused on. It certainly fits the band’s vibe — strolling around aimlessly late at night — but they take advantage of the extra voice with some nifty dueting and — in the homestretch of the song — some vocal ping-pong, which adds an intriguing confusion to the proceedings. Not every walk at dusk can be so simple. Listen above.

  • Live Must: Ningen OK

    Ningen OKは是非ライブを観てほしいバンド。彼らについてあまり詳しく知らなかったものの、先週末のライブセットは最近観たライブの中でも特に印象に残っています。手作りの白いピラミッドのようなオブジェに囲まれて彼等は演奏を開始。ギターTakurou Yamashitaは大量のペダルの前で演奏し、ドラムのKen-ichi Sakaguchiは時折ボコーダーを使用し、怪しい機械的なボーカルを披露。言葉が無いインストでもこのデュオには高度な一体感があり、ロックなグルーブ感を出しています。 ライブハウスだけで輝くのではなく、録音された作品も同様に素晴らしいです。”体温の行方”は静けさを打ち砕くカオスみたいなものが上手く表現されていて、Ningen OKの核となるスタイルを知るにはもってこいな曲(フィードバックを是非体感してほしいです)。試聴は以下から。最近リリースされた同タイトルのファーストアルバムからの曲なので、もし気に入ったら通して聴く事をオススメします。要するに、Ningen OKの音源にはライブから感じる事の出来る素晴らしさが詰まっています。是非ブックマークを。
