INDIE
FUJIYA & MIYAGI are back with their 1st album proper ‘Lightbulbs’. Riding a wave of critical acclaimed, they combine wafts of early HUMAN LEAGUE synth, w’ PINK-FLOYD-ian Englishness & the throbbing groove of TOM TOM CLUB!
‘Lightbulbs’ is a journey littered with fragmented images, anecdotes from the sublime to the ridiculous, blurry stories that you feel you shouldn’t have overheard. Each track an aural contamination set to itch your inner ear every waking moment. This is truly contagious music, a completely unique take on modern pop music that’s completely their own. No better is this demonstrated than on the album’s furiously funky lead single
“Knickerbocker”, with twists its way into your subconscious with a delectably mod groove & charming supporting video.
WATCH HERE A strange hybrid of
JAMES BROWN on Valium and
WIRE gone pop;
SERGE GAINSBOURG with a PhD in electronics backed by
DAVID BYRNE’s ENO-produced scratchy guitar mixed by
MF DOOM; Fujiya & Miyagi manage to evoke a world of sound without resembling anything that’s come before. Steeped in vintage music from evocative krautrock to deep soul, all filtered for modern times,
‘Lightbulbs’ is Darwinism gone mad
