/Electro-rock, Trance rock, Noise rock, Experimental rock, Industrial rock, EBM/

Comment: this set of 4 tracks is managed in a powerful way to have a shift in between machine-induced beat mayhem, rough guitar washes and heavily thudding bass gears. All in all, this instrumental outlet is a joyous attack (or caress?) to the listener`s body and perception centres. Let`s term the sound design of the EP as "IBM" (industrial body music), though a piece called Try is the refreshing exception because of driving out on repetitive patterns and hypnotic whiffs coming out of it.

/J-pop, Drum and bass, IDM, Breakbeat, Electronic pop, Shibuya-kei, Indie pop/

Comment: This is electronic pop basically embellished with drum and bass cadences, IDM and bubblegum rhythms all of which is supplemented with indie pop attitude (the last one can be perceived indirectly) in the very idiosyncratic vein of J-pop. This is subtly easy and careless music, indeed very listenable one even if does not cover your own life. This 14-track album is released on a new Japanese label, Nekura Kid Records, embarked on 2011. In this way, lots of J-initials indeed.
