This one was expected, seeing as Taquwami has shared the two songs making up this release, but here it is. Highly recommended, as Taquwami gets a touch more epic with his music and the end result is a wavy journey. Get it here, or listen below.
Osaka electronic unit Flyingdaughter have been kicking around for a couple years now, creating a skittery take on electro-pop that swaps out the often joyful sounds associated with the style in favor of something a touch darker. Think criss-crossing beats and singing just a smidge muffled. .white.white.white. packs everything intriguing about the duo into a…
Not long ago, the duo of AZUpubschool and singer (Update: and producer! She’s every bit as prodigious a producer as a vocalist, having made songs for Yun*Chi and surely having input into this. Five seconds of research would have shown me this, and now my ass is out, sorry about that!) Coris were getting goofily…
