WL//WH Track Of The Day Japanese Heart Software
Following last year’s unexpectedly crunchy garage-y “Nice one”, recalling the best The Raveonettes, Japanese Heart Software, the “bedroom dream pop” brainchild, a label that seems too narrow for her, of the Melbourne-based songwriter Nat Chippy, heralds the upcoming second album, hopefully scheduled for the start of October, with the first foretaste, “Quitter.”
The new tantalizing track, laced with vaguely ghostly psychedelic glimmers, krautrock propulsion and early DIIV nods, keeps on in a luscious, colorful, multifaceted sonic approach, at times swathed in and strained by fluid layers of noisy shoegaze/alt-rock guitar blankets, while retaining the distinctive catchy melodic intricacy and her wispy melancholic vocal appeal throughout.
“Nice one” talks about walking away from a troubled person in order to get better on your own.
Sad, dreamy vocals, smeared with anxious regret, drift over a pumping, urgent groove of ceaseless, hypnotic motorik beats alongside tight humming bass pulses, oscillating with repetitive, nervous tinkling guitar melodies, occasionally spilling forth with washing sheets of buzzing distortion, while surging in a clattering and spasmodic surreal crescendo, to shred shadowy guilt with emotional transcendent expansion.
