- CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
- Black Mountain "In The Future" 2008 (Canada)
Meanwhile on the other side of the world - Haru Nemuri's first North American tour got cancelled for obvious reasons, so she webstreamed a solo performance on Sunday night which included tunes from her brand new record Lovetheism. Unfortunately, the webstream does not appear to be archived, so "you missed it." Dempagumi.inc has also been releasing stuff at a furious pace in preparation for their new album due next month: new music videos for "Ai No Katachi" ("The Shape Of Love") - a classic example of their high energy dempa-rock style with their first "normal girl" video in years (no costumes or choreography, just gals being pals) - and also the video for the new album's title track (a weird combination of a scavenger hunt and a fanclub meeting, but mainly gals being pals, which seems to be the theme of the new album). AND they put out yet another concert DVD (they have done far more of those than studio albums), finally here's a peek at the very 1970's album cover of the forthcoming record - sweaters and jeans is certainly a different look for them.
