As if I needed any more reason to want to stay in South Korean and never go back to England.

The only one of those that I possess is messy hair, and I'm always told that's a negative >_>

Hahaha, I know right? I never had any idea what their name meant until now.
Have to echo everybody else's sentiments about the band themselves being pretty garbage, though.

Sounds like it'll be a poppier/softer release again going by that title. My ears are ready.
Ah, they're not releasing it under MERZ? Interesting.

I'm so fucking excited! FFXII's writing. world design, and general game-design are pretty much the pinnacle of the series IMO. I've always wanted to play the International Version, now I finally can! That remastered Boss Theme sounds dope too. There's an unedited version on the official site for those that are interested.
And finally, a gif comparison between the visuals in the original PS2 version and The Zodiac Age:

ASEUL - New Pop
ASEUL, formally known as YUKARI, is a Korean chillwave artist and one of the better members of the country's growing indie scene. New Pop is her first album since 2012's Echo and it's very much a maturation of her sound. I'd argue that it doesn't have as many individual stand-outs as her previous effort, but it's more consistent nevertheless.
Sample song: Loveless
Death Grips - Bottomless Pit
It's Death Grips being doing what Death Grips does best. At this point I don't really feel comfortable calling them a hip-hop band. They are to hip-hop what 385 is to Jazz music; a messy, chaotic perversion of it that honestly has more in common with noise punk than anything else. Bottomless Pit sees them build upon their new-found intensity explored on Jenny Death while bringing back the catchy sensibilities of 2012's The Money Store. Might be one of my favourite albums of theirs.
Sample song: Spikes
Siraph - Siraph
I still can't believe this project exists. Masayuki Hasuo (ex. school food punishment) and Yoshimasa Terui (haisuinonasa) joining forces to create the school food punishment sequel I've always wanted to hear. Vocalist Annabel's delivery and melodies do leave a little to be desired, but maybe that's just because I'm incessantly comparing them to Yumi Uchimura's. Either way, this band is on a level compositionally that the former was never quite able to reach after it went down the simplistic anisong route. Hopefully they'll deliver on their potential going forward.
Sample song: 時間は告ぐ

Holy shit, that look!!

Yikes. They've never really been my cup of tea but still, they've been around forever. Even though every band's disbanding is inevitable, it's always a little surprising whenver a mainstay call it quits.

That feeling when you finally remember that it's your mom's birthday... a week too late.

Welcome to MH! Don't worry about not being too knowledgeable of the VK scene; I'm not particularly familiar with it either (at least in comparison to a lot of the other members) but there's a lot of people with pretty diverse tastes here so I'm sure you wont feel out of place. Hope to see you around!

I've had this damn track from the LOTR soundtrack stuck in my head for the last two days now. I'll just be riding the bus and then suddenly that part at 0:58 enters my mind and I feel like I'm having some sort of emotional life-changing moment.

I'm stuck wanting to be 10 different kinds of people and I hate myself because I'm none of them.

Good fucking god. Yes please.

Stuck in November - First Slice Of Cake
First Slice Of Cake is the debut release of Indian match-rock trio Stuck in November. The production values are, not surprisingly, pretty lacking but the composition is absolutely on point. Admittedly there are a lot of promising young math bands cropping up these days so standing out from the crowd can be pretty difficult, but as far as debut releases go I'd say this is the most impressive one I've heard since 宇宙コンビニ. Hopefully they can keep up the good work and get some better production values going forward.

Picked up Pillars of Eternity since I was looking for a new RPG to play. Seems pretty decent so far, definitely a nice homage to the old Infinity Engine games.

Why has it taken me 24+ years to realize that the letter Y is both a consonant and a vowel?
Best new releases: June 2016
in General
Posted · Edited by Pho
June seems to have been the month of quality electronic music for me, and as such all of my recommendations fall somewhere within that spectrum.
Julien Mier - Shiny Silver Lining
Julien Mier's been on my radar for a while as one of the most interesting non-Japanese electronic musicians not to be on Ultimae Records. In fact I could easily imagine him fitting in with PROGRESSIVE FOrM's plethora of IDM prodigies. His latest effort is perhaps my favourite of his offerings to date and a strong contender for my favourite release of the year so far.

M-KODA - WORKINGS
Speaking of PROGRESSIVE FOrM artists, M-KODA has been one of the label's most consistent assets for quite some time now. His latest effort is yet another solid outing that helps to prove why he's one of Japan's most proficient IDM producers.
Sample song: contact
SCANN-TEC - Unyt
SCANN-TEC is an Ultimae Records guy, which for the uninitiated means that you can expect lots of quality ambient, atmospheric, and downtempo music from anything he releases. Despite not being as famous as some of his label-mates like Solar Fields or co-founder Aes Dana, Unyt proves that he belongs amongst the genre's elite.
