/tunes/ - enjoyable sounds

Hello 38chan,

I was going to wait less than 8,000 years to post this but I kept feeling too demotivated to do anything. The last album I posted was of 猫祭り姫, so it makes sense that next is 幼虫社 (YohChuSha, "larva house".) They are a duo of producer/composer 井蛹机/Tsukue and singer/keyboardist ヂヂ/dgidgi. Tsukue helped to produce many of Nekomatsurihime's music (but I think most or all songs on the last post here are produced by her) and has a similar range of influences and very post-punk tinged style of pop music. Also like Nekomatsurhime, it has a distinctive early DTM feel I find endearing (although I think it's all rompler-produced.)

In this case it is particularly easy to tell who the influences are because the producer had a last.fm account https://www.last.fm/user/tsukue

YohChuSha's first album is a collection of demo recordings from 92 to 98. For the first 3 or 4 years, Tsukue was the only real member, with whichever friend or classmate he could perform live with but never being in the group for long. Some recordings are Dgidgi's vocals over these older compositions, and some are newer ones she helped compose herself. The album was released on cassette, but all of these mp3s are free downloads from their website. It's the earliest instance I know of a band uploading their (physically released) album for free online. Very dreamy and borderlines ambient music at times

Their second and only "real" album came out in 2001. Only one demo song made it onto here, with the album having a more dramatic overall style while still being heavy on atmosphere

Hello world2ch,

I have learned to stop rambling. Here's some quirky 90s Japanese avant-pop by experimental/punk guys (mainly Lion Merry, who was also in Yapoos.) It is mostly upbeat, with some ironic and ill-fitting lyrics at times, and very purposefully corny sounds at times.

There is also a VHS with different recordings and live versions of 6 songs. They are here officially: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsPOaTYmN7xshTpXx6X8c8gd-sbBlLqzq

Here are the albums "What Do You Think You Think ?" by Crack Und Ultra Eczema(Noise Rock, Post-Punk) and "Zwei" by Heimat(Art Pop, Post-Punk).

I bought these CDs when I saw Heimat live in a small Bunker in my Hometown. The Singer on both albums is Armelle Oberle who i had a little chat with when i bought the albums. She was really nice and concert was great.
If someone likes her music he can buy more here: https://meineheimat.bandcamp.com/music

This is some very interesting stuff, I particularly enjoy it.

Listened to the album and I really liked it sushi!

I'm not much into pop, but this specific release is very casual and fun to listen to

>skill level
Personally I think it's about how much you're physically capable of combined with how much a mind you have to learn/make musical choices.
If you haven't heard this type of advice already, practice the piece at as slow a tempo as you can stand, and if you can, try and memorize the melody to the point of being able to hum phrases from it accurately with all the little fills and such.
>scales
It's jazz, so perhaps the melody is better analyzed by how it relates to the comp chords.

A thing I made

Ahh, didn't practice for a month or so and my fingers are back to normal!

i think your voice really suits that style of song! i wonder if you’re still making music this many years later..

nice j-rock thing, it only has 600 views right now, but another one of their videos has 146k views, so maybe they're actually really popular.

This line up looks so cool, bet it'd be a fun gig, I wish i could go.

its not the most unknown thing ever but this is a personal niche favorite of mine

Insane to me how underrated this band is. Queen of the Wave (2012) is one of my favorite albums of all time by them. Check Pepe Deluxé out if you like chaotic retro-futuristic electrorock.

glad I saved it

The last year was not so bad after all.

long live otomad

(I think this counts) inmufags are something else

I wonder what will come out of this one, looks promising but you never know…

Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb ba bomb eye raaan!

Strangely comforting but esoteric is the entire focus of Smile and I love it.

Wow, I really have slept on Zmile for too long. I've loved pet sounds a long time and somehow even managed to see Brian Wilson perform it live, but I think this might be even more up my alley.

>>1884
my favorite from mikgazer vol 1 was parachute, the chords are really out of this world !
I've almost the same favorites as you
1: Loveless
2: Mikgazer vol 1
3 Velocity : Design : Comfort (not pure shoegaze but who cares)

time is passing too quickly for me, i can't keep up.

Not sure if this counts as "shoegaze" per say, but it's a definite dream pop vibe going on. Just a beautiful, dense, and atmospheric track for what is essentially reverb, acoustic strumming, and delay effects/reversed voice clips making an incredibly intimate and passionate performance.
In short, a really good song with simple composition turned ethereal through the magic of production tricks. Which is kind of the basis/ground zero of shoegaze, is it not?

Death Grips Hotline Miami

chelmico - Easy Breezy + Taylor Swift - Shake It Off

Nicki Minaj - Super Bass + Crash Bandicoot Soundtrack - Up The Creek

I don't like mash ups most of the time (specifically the stuff creators like Triple Q post) but this mash up always stuck with me because it fits well and just does an excellent job merging two songs with similar bpm but sonically distant. It's a lot more than just generic top 20 rap song + anime opening/video game = "funny". It helps that galo sengen was such a cultural phenomenon in merging the bizarre with accessibility, both artistically and musically. Mix that with another arguably influential new disco track and it just makes a good meme mash up that's far from typical.

This one didn't feel like anything special at the first listen but it's been growing on me when I've returned to it a few times.

Is soundcloud okay? I found this cover of Penguin's Detour and I prefer the voice used in this one over the original tbh

Oooh. I actually have a playlist for a bunch of sounds that are similar to Koro-san. Feel free to take a look.

Embeded is my new favorite tune atm

: )

Where do I buy this bundle?

For me it's Aqua's first album, it's odd but it's filled with a lot of energy

>>1331
mine is bay city or Japanese pop music in general I'm usually a rock and metal kinda guy but Japanese music really strikes a nerve

Astoundingly, less cheesy than usual from him.

I don't really listen to pop but I enjoyed some lady gaga songs.
