“Tomorrow Comes Today” - Gorillaz.
One of Gorillaz’ more easygoing tracks. Gorillaz has a variety of sounds, which is what I find so appealing about them - they’ve got different moods but their overall sound and feel is still so iconic. I’m just now getting into them seriously (yeah, I’m not really sure why I didn’t listen to their full albums earlier when I liked the songs I heard from my friends’ mix CDs). These are my top favorites (so far.)

“NTP (ㄴㅌㅍ)” - The Melancholics.
Hey guys, so this is my friend’s band, The Melancholics. They’re an up-and-coming Seattle-based, Korean indie/rock band and just released their first EP, The Lonely Astronaut. I first saw them perform at Kollaboration Seattle last October, and since then Jesse Oh, their vocalist, has kept me up-to-date with their latest songs and gigs. I haven’t been able to see The Melancholics lately, but just by listening to this song (my favorite from the EP) I’m really excited for more!
It’d be great if you could help support their music by buying their digital EP ($5!), or even just a few songs ($1 each)!

STRAIGHTENER
To counterbalance my last music post I thought I’d go back to my usual taste this time haha.
I’ve had this album on repeat all day. Why not share right?
So here it is. STRAIGHTENER with their self titled 14th studio album.
01. A Long Way To Nowhere
02. Pleiades*
03. Vandalism -Prototype-
04. Kingmaker
05. You And I
06. Leap In The Dark
07. Koori No Kuni No Byakuya
08. Silly Parade
09. Cry*
10. Prologue
11. Hitsuji No Mure Ha Oka Wo Noboru*
12. Vanish -Prototype-(the ones marked with * are my favorites)
Some of you who follow my personal blog may have seen some of my posts about these guys but for those of you who haven’t or aren’t sure of my music taste in general, STRAIGHTENER is an Indie/Alternative Japanese Rock band that have been around since 1998 and are one of Japans biggest names in the Rock scene. They also happen to be one of my all time favorite bands and one of my biggest music influences.
The 4 man band consists of Atsushi Horie(v/g/k), Shinpei Nakayama(d), Hidekazu Hinata(b), and Jun Ooyama(g)
I definitely recommend giving them a listen.

“꽃처럼 한철만 사랑해 줄 건 가요” - Lucia (feat. Epitone Project)
Like a flower, are you only going to love me for one season?
Found this while searching up more Pastel Music artists (my favorite label) :). Beautiful and enchanting animation, with a very touching (expectedly, as beautiful and sad) story. The mix of jazz with a children’s story-like progression of piano and vocals is reminiscent of pastel picture books I had as a kid and the music my mom would play while she read them to me. Enjoy. :)

“キッチンへようこそ (feat. ACO)” - Nabowa
Nabowa is a Kyoto-based organic Jam band composed of violinist Hiraku Yamamoto, bassist Itaru Horikawa, guitarist Kanade Kageyama, and djembe/percussionist Yu Kawakami.
Most of their music is instrumental, so I was skeptical about a featured artist at first. However, ACO’s vocals are a perfect choice for キッチンへようこそ’s chillout sound. The way that her voice fades within and through the instruments really harmonizes well with Nabowa’s theme of “chillout/jam” blend — without overpowering it like some featured artists tend to do. Though ACO’s solo work is very raw and sultry (not really my music), her talent really shines in her ability to emulate this different style so nostalgically and beautifully. Their music always reminds me of journeys at sunset, and this song was no disappointment to that feeling.
