New The Neon City: “Chinatown” And “Summer Memories”
Osaka’s The Neon City explores blurriness from two different angles on her newest pair of songs. “Chinatown” (above) revels in wooziness, voices layered over one another a la A Sunny Day In Glasgow, with the end result sounding like a drunken skip down the street, every good thing spinning around together. It is far different from “Summer Memories” (below), which uses a similar (albeit less manic) approach to blurry electronic sounds to create a sweetly nostalgic song, one where the good memories are still fresh but already fading away.
