#screamo
Today’s Obscure Music Genre of the Day:
Crunkcore
“is a musical genre that combines crunk with the vocal style of screamo …. The Phoenix described crunkcore as “a combination of minimalist Southern hip-hop, Auto-Tune croons, techno breakdowns, barked vocals, and party-till-you-puke poetics.””

IX -Nine- - Psyche (02.02.2020) [★★★★★]
Already appeared with:Vidya (2015)
In about four years of career, IX -Nine- continued to appeal and bring fascination with their ethereal and compelling music. Between side projects and an unexpected success in Europe (especially in Poland), the band brought out a new EP, composed by a pounding metal sound, made of chilling tones, a nice touch of electronic and unique vocals, whose performances go from heavy to melancholic and delivering in each note. It’s extremely hard to find a band whose identity is impossible to define and that at the same time bring on quality works, but IX -Nine- falls definitely in this category.

Anyo - Near your ear. (26.02.2020) [★★★★★]
Anyo is one of the latest rising names of the Japanese progressive rock scene. Formed on 2007, the band had few releases, but their sound is slowly getting more and more attention, especially thanks to their live videos, posted on their Youtube channel. Their latest EP shows off what they are capable off, in four different tracks, moving on genres like shoegaze and emo, helped by vibrant and shaded vocals and compelling rhythms. Thanks to their unique and fascinating sound, Anyo is definitely a band we want to hear more about.

Hollowgram - Pale Blue Dot (12.02.2020) [★★★★★]
Already appeared with: Wills (2016),Fluid (2018)
After the still suffered dissolution of 9Goats Black Out, Ryo seems to have found another prolific project to work into. Hollowgram always distinguished themselves in their seven years path, thanks to a various and enigmatic sound, which doesn’t fear to go over the limits. Two years after their last work, the band came back with a new album, which exalts more their melancholic and nostalgical side, alternating melodious themes to more paced songs, driven by Ryo’s versatile and astonishing vocals and a refined instrumental work behind each track. Hollowgram is one of the few projects which still make visual kei a scene worth to be followed.

Envy - The Fallen Crimson (07.02.2020) [★★★★]
This year has seen one of the most awaited comebacks in the whole Japanese rock scene. We’re talking about Envy, whose sound accompained their wide audience for about 14 years. On 2018 Tetsuya Fukagawa, their historical vocalist, rejoined the band, confirming their awaited return, sealed with their seventh album. The aggressivity which always characterized their style is here reinforced and brought to new levels, made of all the creative struggles experienced by the band, between heavy riffs and melancholic tones. The scene definitely missed Envy’s compelling music and this album brings so much satisfaction under any aspect.
TRACKLIST
- Statement of Freedom
- Swaying Leaves and Scattering Breath
- A Faint New World
- Rhythm
- Marginalized Thread
- Hikari (Light)
- Eternal Memories and Reincarnation
- Fingerprint Mark
- Dawn and Gaze
- Memories and the Limit
- A Step in the Morning Glow
Shihori - Shihorism (07.02.2020) [★★★★]
Maybe Japanese pop fans will know Shihori as a pretty popular singer, who released some music under the pseudonym Sena, but actually she is mostly a famous songwriter, especially for anime themes. This behind-the-scenes side of her career is the basis of her latest work, released for the 10th anniversary of her songwriting career, an album which features covers of some tracks composed by herself. The chosen songs are re-arranged with an acoustic approach, driven by Shihori’s charismatic vocals and musicians from New York, the city where she lives in now. So, between anime and melodies influenced by the West, Shihori is reinventing herself in an interesting way.

HONORABLE MENTIONS
Wakana - Magic Moment (26.02.2020)
Already appeared with: Wakana (2019)
If you know about the famous female trio Kalafina, you should remember Wakana Ootaki, the singer of the band, who, after the trio’s disbandment on 2019, started a solo career of her own. The first mention of the month goes to her second album, which mixes catchy and positive themes with powerful ballads, all well delivered by Wakana’s beautiful voice, bringing on impressive performances and giving a breath of fresh air to Japanese pop.

Hitsujibungaku - Zawameki [Buzz](05.02.2020)
Formed on 2012, Hitsujibungaku is an alternative rock band composed by three girls, who, despite their so young age, managed to grow pretty quickly in musical terms, going beyond the simple lines of pop-rock. Their first release of the year sees a major orientation to shoegaze rock, made by crystalline vocals and piercing notes, which sometimes bring a touch of nostalgia. If you didn’t think that mature female rock bands couldn’t rise in Japan, Hitsujibangaku shows that it’s exactly the opposite.
TRACKLIST
- Ningen datta (It was human)
- Siren
- Yuunagi (Calm evening)
- Inori (Prayer)
- Koi nante (Loving)
Tokyo Gegegay - Kiteretsu Mental World -Black&White-[Queer mental world](05.02.2020)
Japanese music is full of extravagant surprises and the dance&vocal group Tokyo Gegegay is definitely one of them. After being the winners of the dance contest Dance@Hero on 2013, the band went on their career with a dark and curious concept, made in the name of glam and sexual freedom. The double compilation here featured summarizes their best works, adding something new along the road, in a series of electronic tracks all to dance, which is impossible to resist.

@thursdayband ‘s 1st and final promo group shots. - 20 years ago I got the opportunity to shoot a then unknown “emo” band called Thursday. I hadn’t heard them at the time but we hit it off and I had a feeling I’d like whatever music they produced because they’re such interesting and cool people with a clear vision of their art. Little did I know how much their music would blow my mind and their 3rd album #War All The Time” would be one of my favorite albums ever. They helped put a whole genre of music on the map. I stayed friends with them the entire time and worked with them throughout their career. I went to Brooklyn this past weekend to see them play their finals shows as a band. I asked if we could do a quick “final” shot for old times sake and they were willing to humor me ☺️. We positioned the band in the same order (but added Andrew on the far left) The first shot is current, the second is 20 years ago. Thank you Geoff, Steve, Tucker, Tim, Tom and Andrew for being such great guys and creating awesome music! .

Evolucionar.
Los descansos son necesarios.
Autoreconocerse como un obstáculo es más importante que definirse como indispensable o necesario.
Estar en constante movimiento,
Mutar como un germen que se resiste a desaparecer.
Nuestras partículas están activas,
Nuestro ejercicio colectivo no.
Nuestra proyección conjunta es opaca,
Nuestra operatividad individual no.
Queremos dormir en constante creación,
Retornar con el impulso que en el ayer nos reunió.
