Japanese Gum - Hey Folks! Never Mind, We Are All Falling Down!

Some months ago we saw Japanese Gum releasing Without You I’m Napping EP, shot but intense, and for sure introductory to their official Hey Folks! Nevermind, We Are All Falling Down.The two-piece from Genova, Italy, through eleven tracks, look like injecting hectolitres of life blood to the body of a genre that, generally, looks like being short of breath in gaining personality. I like to believe that Hey Folks! Nevermind, We Are All Falling Down is first of all a pop devise that earns vigour listen after listen.It's here where the song-form retrieves a deep breath, letting melodies outcrop through glimmers wider and wider, - making literally blowing up the crystalline sheets of synth with chatartic loads of guitar (Chlorine Blue).Emotional emergency at its purest form, i mean. Nothing superfluous.Comparisons with their fellow citizens Port-Royal are soon to be forgot, and thanks to this release, Japanese Gum finally find their own (living) space in the italian scene. Shoegazing and glitch aesthetics rarely reach this greatness. At least, at our home.
