White Wear (Former Faron Square, :visited) Releases First EP A Black From White Space

ByPatrick St. Michel

CUZ ME PAINのプロジェクトFaron Squareと:visitedは最近目立った活動がないのですが、主要な人物であるYyokeが新しいプロジェクトを始めました。White Wearは去年からリミックス等を手がける等の活動はしていたのですが、ようやく最近になって初のEPがリリース。A Black From White SpaceというタイトルのEPに収録された３曲からは:visitedと近いスタイルを感じます。そのうちの２曲はダンサブルなビートが特徴的で、アンビエントなシンセサイザーがドリーミーなのですが、ユニークなコード進行やレイヤーの仕方によって、心地悪くならないギリギリを攻めているかのような独特な雰囲気を醸し出しています。タイトルトラックや”Clear City”で聴ける陰のようなボーカルはCUZ ME PAINアーティストならではのもの。注目すべきはオープナーのBlack Dawnで、この曲はほぼビートが使われておらず、ダンサブルというよりアンビエント。Yyokeからこのような曲を作るとは思ってなかったのですが、このような挑戦がこのEPからは聴けるのでオススメですよ。ダウンロードはこちらから。

Madegg Round-Up: “15:49,” “Spectrum Clouds” And “Sea 1”

ByPatrick St. Michel

The part of me that likes stockpiling blog posts so when public holidays…LIKE TODAY…roll around and I wouldn’t have to work loves the fact Kyoto’s Madegg releases music at such a fast clip. Yet the more reasoned side knows that would be a bad idea, so instead here is a post highlighting three tracks the…

Electric Showers – The Aprils “Shine×Shine×Shine×Shine”

ByPatrick St. Michel

I’ve never heard anything by The Aprils prior to this year, so this article’s claim that they’ve “sold their innocent indie souls to the god of electro pop” can’t really be argued with around these parts. The band name does paint them as a group ready to be filed after “The Apricots” on twee.net, but…

New Chabe (Cubismo Grafico): “White Cube” And “Rewind (Holiday 91)”

ByPatrick St. Michel

Last year Matsuda Gakuji’s Cubismo Grafico Five project released their best album to date, the accurately titled Double Dozen, which mostly abandoned restraint in favor of 24 rapid-fire tracks bouncing from pop-punk to reggae to art rock. It was a messy triumph, a group of artists embracing madcap energy to craft a dizzying collection of…

Love You Forever: Hminh

ByPatrick St. Michel

According to MySpace, Hminh’s influences: “Beat Happening, The Magnetic Fields, Minor Threat.” Now, I can hear a little Stephen Merritt in this duo’s indie-pop, and I wouldn’t be shocked if they subscribed to the same DIY philosophies of Minor Threat. But when it comes to Hminh’s actual sound, only the first band listed comes through….

New The Mirraz: “We Are The Fuck’N World”

ByPatrick St. Michel

[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiZF3sgiHo4″] Remember last week when I wondered aloud about The Mirraz ability to swallow sounds up like Kirby and imitate them pretty well? Now they’ve gone and released another video for the title track of their just-in-stores album and…hypothesis proved, I guess. “We Are The Fuck’N World” trades in the stadium-rock ambitions of their last…
