I hope there's more to come. I've been playing the hell out of Endangered Species over the last couple weeks and it is a fantastic record.

This is great. You would probably like a lot of other stuff in the vocaloid scene.

if you can point me to bands that use it but aren't J-Pop, Techno or more traditional vocaloid music, I'd be super interested to hear.

eleven months pass...

two recent singles from AprilBlue who sound kind of like the Beths but with a bit of a shoegaze thing going on:

If I may shill for myself and my friends for one sec.

Japan Alternative Sessions, a radio show I started a few years back has been reactivated, it's not just indie/alt we cover as much ground as possible, old and new music. The plan is to do a 2 hour+ show once a month and put it out on Mixcloud and YouTube or wherever else we can.

This is the latest edition:
