Just The Right Cute: Wotoha’s “Cobalt Dreams”
ByPatrick St. Michel June 17, 2019

The right amount of cute can be tricky to pull off in music. The “kawaii bass” wave of the last few years has mostly receded, but twinkly dance-pop numbers still appear frequently, and they can just be too much, relying on high-pitched singing and an abundance of playroom-ready sounds instead of a good idea. Wotoha…

New For Tracy Hyde: Juniper And Lamplight EP
ByPatrick St. Michel October 16, 2012

For Tracy Hyde first caught our attention when they appeared on an EP with fellow indie-pop outfit BOYISH, this new project complete with upbeat guitar-pop songs and a name the Sarah Records people probably regret not scooping up back in the 80s.

Last we heard from Kyoto’s Turntable Films, they were embracing a more muted sound on the disappointing 10 Days Plus One mini album, clumsy folk and awful attempts at Nashville swagger drowning out the few good ideas they had. The halcyon days of “2steps” seemed lost, traded in for a boring approach better suited for…

New Taquwami: “Sɦell∞”
ByPatrick St. Michel May 5, 2012

Special weekend post given how lazy I got during Golden Week. Taquwami, fresh off appearing in a Lapalux mix, gives the world a sleepy new track to close out the weekend. “Sɦell∞” stands in stark contrast to the last few tracks to trickle out of Taquwami’s computer – recently, he’s been on a Clams-Casino-like trip,…
