OMODAKA "Plumb Song"
What a way to start a new month! Here's a new video from OMODAKA for "Plumb Song." As usual, it's pretty incredible. Also, it might be very slightly not safe for work, but you shouldn't be wasting time watching videos at work in the first place! Anyway, this video is pure neon eye-candy. Make sure to watch it in HD if you can. So, when is OMODAKA going to release a DVD? Hmmm?!
Hit the jump for more of this week's video picks!
Moja "High Speed"
Here's a great, moody, DIY video from the two piece rock band Moja. The very dark, black and white treatment perfectly fits the music, and the chaotic camera work matches the chaos of the band.
Electric Eel Shock "Metal Man"
After you watch this video, there's no doubting the thrill of a live Electric Eel Shock show. Not only will they rock your face off, but check out the drummer! Not every has the courage to wear nothing but a really, really, really long sock.
Usotsuki Barbie "Konai Insects"
Here's a somewhat random pick from Usotsuki Barbie. There's no much going on here, but when you're band is already pretty weird, you don;t need to worry about adding much. And hey, dancing girl. What more do you need?
Dazzle Vision "Metsu"
If you're unfamiliar with Dazzle Vision before going into this one, then you're in for a treat. Oh look, the singer looks like your standard J-pop idol. OK, so this is going to be a cute pop some about cake. Guess what? You're wrong.
That's it for this week! See you next time!
Time for another top 10 picks from the new barrage of releases from HearJapan!
This week on Explore the Unexplored, a couple of excellent shoegazy, muzzy, sonically intense bands. Both Psysalia Psysalis Psyche and NIZ are rather new bands, but they each bring their own unique sounds to the table. Hideyoshi is another dreamy rock band that you arty indie rock types should listen to. Then there's new thrash metal from Rightbrian, some interesting anime cover songs on Anisomania-2 and more punk, hardcore and even a bit of hip-hop flavor.
Check out the whole post here.
Check out my band The Surfactants!
