over the rhine

By wen | Published: October 13, 2009
As weather gets colder I tend to curl inward and spend most of my time indoors painting or reading. Fall’s been falling pretty gently here in Northern California and when rain comes down, I get pensive and moody and gravitate towards pensive and moody things. Lately I’ve discovered Ohio’s indie folk married duo Over the [...]

memoirs at the end of the world

By wen | Published: August 28, 2009
I’ve fallen for Florida’s luscious little indie pop band The Postmarks. Their newest album, Memoirs at the End of the World, is part Spaghetti Western, part spy intrigue film soundtrack, and all fun. Take a listen for yourself.

modialito

リラックスするには落ち着く音楽を聞く必要があるかもね？今日のオススメはフランス語好きなmondialitoです。junko（vo）と笛岡俊哉（compose）のボサノバみたいな音楽を聞いてくつろげる I’ve a fatal weakness for the very lovely French language and apparently so does Japanese band mondialito.

spangle call lilli line

By wen | Published: July 22, 2009
大好きな下北沢から素晴らしいバンドSpangle call Lilli line を見つけ出すｖ　（ちょっちょっと変なバンド名だけど（汗）） シンガーはイラストレーター。ギタリストはフォトグラファー。他のギタリストはグラフィックデザイナー。面白いね！！！日本に住んでる時、このバンド知らなかった。残念ですね。このような美しい音楽を聞いているのはとても面白いし、リラックスする。ライブに行ければ幸せ者だな・・・ I’ve fallen pretty hard for this amazing little band, Spangle call Lilli line. Hailing from Shimokitazawa, one of my very favourite corners of Tokyo, this indie rock band is a blend of lush ambient downtempo rock, electronica, hauntingly surreal lyrics, and beautifully delicate, layered vocals. The band is made up of [...]
