lol make a splash in new ocean-side PV “perfect summer”

Co-ed group lol have pulled back the curtains on the PV for their latest song “perfect summer“, a refreshing summer tune that makes you want to have a summer fling!

The video follows the 5-member group as they make their way through a tropical beach-side town in island country Guam, spending their day feeding each other gummy bears, blowing bubbles, playing cards and messing around on hoverboards. This is their first music video filmed overseas.

This new song comes just before their first album “lolol,” which will consist of 14 tracks. Compiling the songs they have performed the past two years since the group was formed, the album includes “hikari,” used as the theme for the film “Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Dr. Pac-Man Tai Ex-Aid & Ghost with Legend Riders” last December, the song “blue ocean” for the hair removal brand Veet, “fire!,” “ladi dadi,” “spank!!,” “bye bye,” “boyfriend,” “girlfriend,” “shake shake” and more.

indigo la End release “Playback” MV ahead of album release

As previously announced, J-rock outfit indigo la End is ready to come back on the scene with their third major record “Crying End Roll“, set to be released on July 12th. In order to promote its comeback, the Tokyo-based outfit released today the Music Video for “Playback“, leading single of the upcoming record.

Despite adopting a pretty standard structure and a friendly chorus, the track plays a lot with its rhythmic department, with several tempo changes and dynamic drum patterns coupled by occasional bass guitar outbursts that showcase a clear Math Rock influence, making the track constantly engaging despite its overall friendly approach; other instrumental twists and turns ultimately proves that, despite the long hiatus, the band is still in great shape from the songwriting standpoint. The video simply shows scenes of the band jamming, alternated to moments where Enon Kawatani is sitting in the studio looking at a girl in the recording booth doing random things.
