Second Royal Records Prep New Compilation Featuring The New House, Hotel Mexico And Handsomeboy Technique

Clearly not content with the absolutely bananas 2010 they had, Second Royal Records plans to release a new compilation album called Second Royal Vol. 6 on February 9. They’ve posted a teaser trailer of it, which you can listen to above, that hints that this year might be a touch better. The really exciting news comes with the very first track, a fresh tune from The New House called “Small World” which cements the fact they’ve gone full Animal Collective on the world. Reminder to The New House…release a new LP, watch the praise flow in. Elsewhere, Handsomboy Technique busts out a new song while Toss & Volley…dabble in post-dubstep? Sounds like James Blake, all I’m saying. It also appears that super lo-fi beach-rockers Friends have been signed to the label, as their track “I Think I Love You” appears on Volume 6. A few older highlights also wriggle on – Turntable Films’ “Collection Of You” and Hotel Mexico’s “Do You Do You HAIA” have been floating around online for a while now but both land on this comp. Oh, and remember that song Halfby contributed to a clothing commercial? It’s called “A Morning Dew” and can be yours if you pick up this album. Listen to all these old faves and bunch of other great acts up at the top of this page.

Yet the…

  • Japanese Christmas Round-Up 2012: Miila, Her Ghost Friend,

    Miila “Santa Baby” この曲はクリスマス・クラシックの独自バージョン。今回the Geeksは参加しておらずMiilaのソロとしてのリリースなのですが、グランジーでスローなギターにシンプルかつどこか不気味なドラムが印象的な”Santa Baby”のカバーになっています。Miilaは淡々と歌うものの、その擦れた質感やたびたび登場するノイズも相まって、今まで聴いたどのカバーよりも邪悪な印象です。ビデオは以下から。 Her Ghost Friend Merry Christmas Her Ghost Friendはホリデー・シーズンの為に特別な3曲を用意してくれました。そのうちの2曲はオリジナルで、今までのグループのリリースの中でも1番と言っていいほど優れた作品です(Her Ghost Friendの”Looking For Wonder”は今年のベストの1つだと言っているわけなのですが)。”白い、白い、好き、好き、”はノイジーに始まるのですが、ボーカル、ストリングスとシンセが美しく絡み付いていきます。ハープのようなアルペジオ・フレーズがとても華やかですね。”哀愁のクリスマス – Merry Christmas Dear Girl”はオルゴールのようなサウンドがいくつもレイヤーされていて、とてもユニークかつロマンチック。セットは”Miracle Powerful Beat”のリミックスで幕を閉じます。試聴は以下から。 Yucca “Waiting For Snow” もっとスローなテンポが好みで、クリスマスらしく鈴の音が聴きたい方は、Yuccaの”Waiting For Snow”のビデオをオススメします。ビデオは以下から。
