The Paellas Release The Following EP, Get It Now

(First, officially back from Fuji Rock! Regular posting resumes now.)

The Paellas have been having a nice summer thus far, and over the weekend they made it a touch better by releasing the Following EP. The Osaka group previewed this new release by uploading the wonderful title track earlier in the week, but now they have two additional songs to round out the release. “Spider” is a Paellas’ original, one resembling the fast-paced indie-pop of the title track. They also cover 80’s lo-fi rockers The Cleaners From Venus to close out the EP, delivering a muffled and quicker rendition of the song, one that puts a very Paellas spin on The Cleaners’ original.

Following also serves as the initial release for ano(t)raks, a new online label focused on highlighting Japanese indie-pop. They are offering the EP for free, so download it here, or stream it below.

  • Live Must: Ningen OK

    Ningen OKは是非ライブを観てほしいバンド。彼らについてあまり詳しく知らなかったものの、先週末のライブセットは最近観たライブの中でも特に印象に残っています。手作りの白いピラミッドのようなオブジェに囲まれて彼等は演奏を開始。ギターTakurou Yamashitaは大量のペダルの前で演奏し、ドラムのKen-ichi Sakaguchiは時折ボコーダーを使用し、怪しい機械的なボーカルを披露。言葉が無いインストでもこのデュオには高度な一体感があり、ロックなグルーブ感を出しています。 ライブハウスだけで輝くのではなく、録音された作品も同様に素晴らしいです。”体温の行方”は静けさを打ち砕くカオスみたいなものが上手く表現されていて、Ningen OKの核となるスタイルを知るにはもってこいな曲(フィードバックを是非体感してほしいです)。試聴は以下から。最近リリースされた同タイトルのファーストアルバムからの曲なので、もし気に入ったら通して聴く事をオススメします。要するに、Ningen OKの音源にはライブから感じる事の出来る素晴らしさが詰まっています。是非ブックマークを。
