It’s finally here — the long-awaited Moyas EP from Taquwami. We’ve focused on half of these songs before, and you definitely should listen to the whole thing because…well, Taquwami is always ahead of the pack. Get it here, or listen below.
The latest from Mom serves as a celebration of summer, even in all of the bad parts of the season. Mainly, the heat, which is at record highs this year across the country. Mom actually nods to this during “Natsu No Mahou ’18” but doesn’t let the record-breaking temperatures get them down, as they deliver…
新曲“Lizaveta”を説明するにあたり、Moscow Clubは“Well, it is April”と説明しています。この東京のバンドは彼らを形容する２つのジャンルを上手く融合させる事に成功したようです。このバンドを2012に聴き始めた人はきっと明るめのシンセ・ポップのイメージが強いはず。C86 コンピレーション収録曲とBradbury EPでは多くのシンセが使われていますが、それを除けば純粋なインディ・ポップ。ギターとドラムのみでアップビートかつメランコリックな曲を書いていた事もありました。“Lizaveta”はキラキラした星屑のようなシンセで幕を開けますが、Daisy Miller EPに収録されていてもおかしくないような曲へと展開していきます。Moscow Clubはシンプルなバンド構成をシンセによって上手く味付けできるようになったと感じます。加えて、南国風のパーカッションが心地良いです！視聴は以下から。

The biggest change comes on the title track, which finds Urano using her own voice more heavily to create disorienting details. The other semi-departure (not quite as pronounced as on “Autline”) comes…
Not long ago, the duo of AZUpubschool and singer (Update: and producer! She’s every bit as prodigious a producer as a vocalist, having made songs for Yun*Chi and surely having input into this. Five seconds of research would have shown me this, and now my ass is out, sorry about that!) Coris were getting goofily…
