it delivers spook
it delivers wig
Beautiful. I’m stealing this
Ro, i think the only thing that could make this week even better is if DEXCORE shadow drops a new single. Or, new Kizu.
Either way, holy shit, this EP is great. Toy Boy is a solid jam.
Got to give this a full listen this weekend.
It’s pretty great. Chaotic Mako is always welcomed.
I’ll have to give it a few more listens to form full opinions on each song, but at the moment, I can at least say that musically it’s a solid EP. Spiral is so much fun with the slappy bass!
Currently kein>deadman
I don’t understand why or how are both kein and Deadman both active at the same time and also both signed to major labels. I lean more towards Deadman but this new release is great
Not proud of it, but I still have to listen to both bands new release. Does anyone know who is more involved in the writing procesos for kein? Or if it’s equally shared between band members? I read Maco and Reo’s interview but couldn’t find any answer about it.
Credits for the mini album from Apple music:
Spiral: aie & 眞呼
Puppet: 玲央 & 眞呼
Toy boy: 攸紀, 眞呼 & 玲央
Rose dale: 攸紀 & 眞呼
Refrain: aie & 眞呼
Wow, it looks quite balanced to me. Thanks for sharing it !
That explains why I only like Spiral and Refrain
Aie is amazing
tbh I really enjoyed rose dale, it’s sublime imo
rose dale > refrain > spiral > other two songs for me atm, even though each one of them has some very unique moments, Mako’s vocal charm drives both of them.
they just don’t sound as good as the top-3 songs
Exactly the same situation
I did not listen to last year’s album, doing that right now and… holy shit, i’m blown away. I like it soooo much more so far than this EP or Deadman’s latest. I’m barely half way through and I pretty much love everything.
That one song where the singer goes “NIGHT AND DAY NIGHT AND DAY” is pretty cringe. His voice is grating at times, but overall the music was pretty good.
this part of toy boy is very cachy lol
I don’t feel alone
Funny that Yukino’s songs on this EP fall into the “funky slap bass/upbeat” number that I find more common when the bassist for a band is composing
Also worth noting Yukino also wrote omoide no imi which is beautiful, so i’d love to see Yukino trying out some ballads again
You should try yukino’s solo songs if you have the chance! I love yukino’s compositions, they have such a nagoya kei feel to them
Yep I love his solo works, so I know he can do the slower/moody cuts well. I’d love to see Kein play with a bit of shoegaze ha
