Never really noticed this track when the album came out, but revisited it the other month and have became obsessed with it... always love an album that you listen to again and again over the years and get something new from.

Also, still can't figure out if it is actually Julian Casablancas on the track... he was the producer and it sounds exactly like him. But they say it was not, but maybe some f***ery going on.

fave song by them...that first album was amazing...

This seems expressly designed to make @Captain Dave Poulin feel terribly conflicted.

Digging the new Alvvays record quite a bit at the moment:

Another funk song.......,.Juna is a really good funk bass player........I just found Japanese Funk a couple of weeks ago.......

 

[macleish1974]

A traditional shamisen as lead guitar....awesome song........

She certainly is really, really good.

Seeing that Terry Hall, the lead singer of the Specials, has died.

Logged in to post the above. Saw them before I knew any of their songs, and was completely hooked after that show.

That said, he didn't sing my favorite of their's.

I had heard this maybe once a long time ago and now that I found it again, I couldn’t love it more.

Capt'n: I did spend alot of time listening to BabyMetal and Lovebites. Both are metal bands for sure and BabyMetal does have the threesome dancing and singing in perfect sync. However for me no connection for either. Sure they can thrash and shred. But I have heard some of the same chord progressions and drum licks from death metal or grindcore bands in the past. Just the dancing is new and choreographed to the hilt. For Band-Maid, Kanami writes the main line via her highly interesting chord processions , Misa writes her own bass lines, Akane writes her own drum lines to sync with the bass and lead. [ her attack on the high hat is something to behold!], and Saiki and Miku write the interesting lyrics.

Below is Kanami and Saiki playing their songs on piano; one with one song playing 3 handed.......



Here is the rock version of Yolo, the first piano song......



I haven't figured out whether Band-Maid is Power Pop, Hard Rock, Metal, maybe all three. Maybe that is the fun part of this band.

Mac, you don't have to convince me - they rule. They couldn't rule any more if they tried. Merry Christmas.
