Stare Right At It: DJ FFFTP’s The Sun

When you have a good idea, take it as far as you can. Oita’s DJ FFFTP closes out the summer with The Sun, which is technically a song served up a bunch of different ways. Fittingly, the trio of takes on it by FFFTP themselves follows the course of the day, opening with a “Sunrise Version” that greets the day with a swift beat but accompanied by bell chimes that make it all a little easier to move along with. “Afternoon Version” offers up some easy-breezy post-lunch vibes that make for the most laid-back cut here, while “Sundown” cranks it up the other way, making for a late-night delight.

  • New House Of Tapes: Trip Science

    名古屋のHouse Of Tapesのデビューアルバム”Trip Science”はとても奇妙で、初めて聴く時は少し戸惑うかもしれません。皮肉でも何でもないのですが、この激しく至って暗いサウンドは凄く独特なのです。House Of Tapesの音楽はいつでもまるで耐重力訓練のようで、Gasper Noeの映画を全て通して観ているようなダンス・ミュージック。単純に”House”とカタゴライズできる程シンプルでないのです。 でも”Trip Science”はアルバムとしての完成度が高い事は確かです。“Chaos Tape”に使われたチャイムの音が繰り出す美しくポップな不気味さはHouse Of Tapesらしいギミックですし、“Faint Light”での激しいビートや打ち込みはまるでブラック・ホールに吸い込まれて行くような感覚。去年リリースされた“Starting Point”や分かりやすいタイトルの”Noise Attack”は未だに新鮮さを失わず、アルバムにも違和感無く収録されています。凄く挑戦的な音楽ですが、聴くのは決して挑戦にはなりませんよ。ダウンロードはこちらから。
