Meiteimahi CD Sumika – Kaku tsuki
5th album and newly recorded by this duo from Tokyo. Vocals, guitar, drums, electronics for 10 varied songs, some pop, alternative rock, shoegaze. I must say, it’s a surprising album, some would say it’s lacking of coherence as some tracks can be noisy and some other songs are “just” well produced pop songs. Maybe this time there’s 1-2 folk incursions more and the duo has turned into being a project which sounds just as they’re now living between, despair, anger, tenderness. That’s not a perfect album despite it’s produced (and maybe too much ?) with care but life isn’t always a straight line and here we just perfectly love people who just feel free and are generous. Tokyo is a city of lights, between overexposures and dark corners.
