This bubbly beat comes courtesy of Tokyo’s Yuichi Nagao, and it is a nice bleep-blooper full of bouncy details (the way those synths intersect with one another! how hopeful this sounds!) and just a fun little groover. Listen below.
DIVINE HAMMER – 宇宙ネコ子とラブリーサマーちゃん from Abi Laurel on Vimeo. The run up to Uchu Nekoko’s new album continues, and now a new video for their song with Lovely Summer Chan “Divine Hammer” is out.
