Randes Vouz: “Queen Anne”
No nonsense here – here’s a Japanese outfit out of Sapporo that provides info but not too much information about themselves. They put on a party every once in awhile, and have a few songs online that came out prior to “Queen Anne.” But man oh man, “Queen Anne.” This is direct, bouncy pop, no unnecessary trimmings dangling off the side. It’s shiny synths bouncing forward and lovely singing that hop-scotches along with the music, bringing to mind the same voice as American shoegaze act Asobi Seksu. It’s straightforward but extremely ear-wormy, all breezy and light. Listen below.
