New Tenkiame: “Toutetsu To Hakudaku”

A little Sunday night music for those still up…Tokyo’s Tenkiame (featuring Azusa Suga of For Tracy Hyde/Shortcake Collage Tape) shared a new demo called “Toutetsu to Hakudaku.” It might be the young project’s best balance of sounds yet — shoegaze/noise pop has been a consistent source of inspiration, but a very real fuzz hangs over “Toutetsu,” adding a woozy layer to the number. Yet cutting through — or at least blending well with — that thickness are some of the prettiest vocals and backing harmonies they’ve recorded in Tenkiame yet. Listen above.
