Monthly Listening: Sep 2024

[adevyish]

Oops, where has the time gone!

• Abe Fuyumi / Bird ★
  • This song pares back dream pop to a soft ambient space to inhabit, and at one point to a whisper of hesitant acoustic.
• Nodamn / Alarm
  • This reminds me of listening to Plastic Tree in the 2000s.
• Galileo Galilei / Manster (CW: food, addiction mention)
  • An unusually dark turn from Galileo Galilei.
• inuha / Hello in Dolphin Language ★
  • Hatsune Miku floats atop driving, overamped pop punk.
• Spool / Akizakura (CW: flashing)
  • A dreamy shoegaze goodbye.
• yonige / Sayonara Identity
  • Now for some jrock you can scream along to!
• Hashimoto Eriko / Watashi wa Pilot
  • The former Chatmonchy singer has a new album out, and this is a nice summery track from it.
• Dé Dé Mouse & Suisoh / Natsu wo Kaeshite
  • Dé Dé Mouse finds a way to put an interesting spin on city pop revival, with a guitar solo and some Daoko-y sing-rap.
• cali≠gari / Tokyo Urban Yakouchuu
  • cali≠gari returns to the jazz nightlife of Tokyo.
• odol / Tsutaete! ★
  • The sort of song that makes me picture a young optimistic student on a train to the big city for the first time.
