Here for shin, yesss! Thanks for posting, Trombe!

I don't follow OOR, but this is an interesting development for sure!

Apropos Filme, könnte jemand eine gute Website empfehlen für Filmkritiken? Zum Beispiel, welche Site(s) besucht ihr? Durch Google habe ich ein paar gefunden (kino, filmstarts, moviemaze, etc.), aber ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob die einen guten Ruf haben.

PREVIEWS!!!!

Why "live-limited"??? Still, happy to see a real release...

The music in "Ray" sounds like a midi file... I'm so confused with the production.

0_o, Tame Impala's Currents isn't even out yet? I swear my brother was listening to it the whole time when I visited him last week. They took a poppier approach than their usual stuff, but I quite like it. From that list, I'm looking forward to: The Bird And The Bee: Recreational Love [Rostrum] Mac DeMarco: Another One [Captured Tracks] Tamaryn: Cranekiss [Mexican Summer] Beach House: Depression Cherry Beirut: No No No [4AD] Most excited about Beach House, just because I didn't even know they were still active and their previous album is one that I frequent fairly often.

^Really liked that b-side. Nice to see a PV for it!

Lost some enthusiasm on their last album, but hopefully they wow us again with this.

Shin!!!!! Thanks so much for the info, Trombe!

Yay, looking forward to it!

The first single was decent (and Aldious seems to be going downhill at a frightening pace), so I'm excited!

Thanks for listening and commenting on my review! I'm glad to see another UNiTE fan here! Be sure to check out their album UNiVERSE next month. I'm hoping it'll be another good release.

Peace, it just registered with me that you guys got cheki with KAMIJO. There's hardcore fans in Japan that probably don't have any cheki with him, so that's super cool. True that! I still remember that Baumkuchen vividly, haha Voll lecker, Alterrrrr!

Nice review, Peace! I haven't been keeping up with Kamijo's tour exploits, so I had no idea that he played Symphony of the Vampire in its entirety--that is awesome! Glad to see you representing the love for "薔薇は美しく散る" (side-eyeing the shit out of the rest of the Kamijo fans who weren't feeling it!). What exactly was revamped about it? It's cool that you met up with some MH-ers, irl. Dammit, Champ and I should have photo-documented our meeting Also, I'm just gonna quote this line out of context, because it's hilarious.

"All Song digest" My faves haven't been delivering on their album releases this year, so let's hope UNiTE. takes me out of this slump!

Full PV:

Download VLC Media Player. It's free and can get around region coding!

Thanks for the comments, everyone! It seems ender and I are enjoying this the most, haha. Well, let's just hope their next release is a better showcase of the band's style. @: Thanks! It drives me nuts when I recognize a similarity between two songs, but can't recall the original one... @@Pho: You'll have to cut me a little slack on the HaKU reference. I stopped listening to them after their Simulated Reality, so I'm admittedly out of touch with them. But to be fair, my review was written before the YouTube song you linked to was even released, haha. @@CAT5: Valid observation on the ling-esque titles... I'm still not sold on chouchou merged syrups though, so I'm hoping for even bigger improvement from this band

Thanks for posting, Trombe!

God damn you Soan, even though I think I enjoy your songs the most.

Starting around 3:21, you can hear a sample for the "エンゼル・ハイロゥ(angel halo)" single.

Artist: そこに鳴る (sokoninaru) EP: I'm NOT a pirolian 1. pirorhythm stabilizer 〜only your world〜 2. 夏の落とし物 (natsu no otoshimono) 3. ARAGAE!! 4. 真実の花 (shinjitsu no hana) 5. さらば浮世写し絵の如く(do-do gigantic evolution ver) (saraba ukiyo utsushie no gotoku) Rating: | pirolian status: unconfirmed From the initial posting of sokoninaru’s “pirorhythm stabilizer 〜only your world〜” PV in the news thread, this band’s debut release has caused quite a stir. Some (including me!) were immediately taken by the band’s in-your-face instrumentation, while others were less convinced: despite the apparent guitar frill, the core songwriting was written off as too poppy or the band was deemed a ling tosite sigure wannabe. Now that their first EP I’m NOT a pirolian has had some time to settle, it’s time to hash out my opinion. Right off the bat, the band demands your attention. The EP opens with a frenetic, prickly guitar and bass solo loop that goes on for about 10 seconds before the drums crash in and the song really kicks off. In fact, drums are what help to propel this track. A variety of creative fills and production quirks emphasize the percussion and keep listeners on their toes, rhythmically. Meanwhile, guitarist Suzuki and bassist Misaki play their hearts out. There’s no doubt that this trio has some impressive musical chops, but somehow, the complete song doesn’t quite gel. The chorus is a bit of a letdown and at times, the band doesn’t link together the different parts of the song in convincing ways. For instance, the ending is an abrupt mess. Fortunately, the band really buckles down on “夏の落とし物 (natsu no otoshimono),” my personal favorite from the EP (check out the mp3 sample below!) and one of my favorite songs of the year so far! This track exhibits the tightest composition on the release and a beautiful chorus. The quickly strummed, scratchy riffs remind me of one of my disbanded j-indie faves, caroline rocks. Throughout the track, soothing background vocals by Misaki help to balance the nasal, yet raspy vocals by Suzuki. Ending with a bang, Suzuki rips out a heart-wrenching guitar solo with such a satisfying tone. “ARAGAE!!” continues the momentum, borrowing the experimental tendencies from “pirorhythm stabilizer 〜only your world〜”and combining them with the heart and more focused composition of “natsu no otoshimono.” It is pretty dynamic, moving between zippy barrages of guitar work and more tranquil interludes. Again, spectacular drumming and Misaki’s background vocals add further dimension to the song. Back in April, I had a hard time deciding between this and “natsu no otoshimono” for our Best New Tracks list! “真実の花 (shinjitsu no hana)” is where the band loses me for a bit. The opening bass lick is very clearly copied from the lead guitar riff in American post-hardcore group The Fall of Troy’s “F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X”. I would be flabbergasted if sokoninaru claimed they had never listened to them before. Plagiarism aside, the remainder of track has some redeemable moments, including yet another kickass, hi-octane guitar solo from Suzuki—he’s got a knack for these! The EP ends with a rerecording of one of their demo tracks “さらば浮世写し絵の如く (saraba ukiyo utsushie no gotoku).” This finale continues the kind of mid-tempo energetic indie rock heard in the previous track, but what stands out is Misaki's most pronounced vocal presence yet. She takes over lead vocals during certain parts of the song and provides some stunning harmonies once Suzuki jumps back in. So what’s the verdict on I’m NOT a pirolian? Sokoninaru has some major potential and they really hit their stride on tracks 2 and 3. Considering “pirorhythm stabilizer 〜only your world〜” is the PV (i.e. marketing) track, I wonder if there was pressure from their label to project a sound that they don’t fully embody, namely that of being some tryhard ling tosite sigure-inspired band. Other than that first track, I don’t find the comparison that valid, especially vocally speaking. Whereas some bands (looking at you, HaKU) ape LTS right down to TK’s vocal style, Suzuki and Misaki have their own thing going on here and it works! Despite the half star deduction for the lack of originality in “shinjitsu no hana,” I’m still very much looking forward to what this band has in store for us next. All three members show plenty of musical promise. I believe they have more in them than just being “a poor man’s ling tosite sigure,” to quote @CAT5. Moreover, I just need to figure out whether I’m a pirolian or NOT! Hopefully, we'll all have the chance to find out on their next release! What did you think of the EP? Support the band!
