斑斑 (skip skip ben ben )x 洪申豪(透明雜誌) - 少女 

[touming-records]

なんと

雀斑frecklesのVo. Skip Skip Ben Ben こと林以樂が本名でのソロプロジェクト開始してたとは

[fyeahcindie]

New single from 林以樂 Lin Yiloh, and she sounds great in this electro-soul style.   =D    She’s doing most of this herself, and Elisa Lin 林依霖 is doing the mixes at 當道音樂 Downtown Music.  Elisa has also worked on both Freckles albums.  Full credits at YT and bandcamp.

Let’s try to keep all of this straight, LOL:

Skip Skip Ben Ben 斑斑 is her lo-fi rock identity.

BenBen Lin 斑斑 is how we know her as singer/keyboardist from the indie pop band Freckles 雀斑

‘Anyones There’ is her branding on some social media sites

More BenBen links:

林以樂 (リン·イーラー) (Twitter): Very active, frequent show announcements

林以樂リン·イーラー YouTube: She opened up this site last year.

林以樂 (リン·イーラー) Bandcamp: Has all of her 2019 releases, plus the new one up above!

林以樂 SoundCloud

[fyeahcindie]

林以樂 Lin Yiloh aka BenBen 斑斑 posted a gentle bossa nova tune, you may recognize this from the version Waa Wei 魏如萱 included on her 2019 album, 藏著並不等於遺忘 Hidden, Not Forgotten.  (See our post HERE)

She recorded this in Japan back in February, with help from guitarist 高木大丈夫 Daisuke Takagi.  Very casual and sweet for our listening pleasure!  =D

Waa’s version is more elaborate, and quite elegant, actually:

(林以樂)

New from BenBen Lin 斑斑 (林以樂). =D

UPDATE:  Ben Ben took down the track for some reason, perhaps it was only meant to be a sneak preview.  *shrugs*

I think this is a new indie-tronic sample style/project that she’s calling Anyones There.  (Well, it’s under her name 林以樂, but the social media page addresses are changed to anyonesthere)

She has renamed her SoundCloud and personal fb Anyones There, and she also has a Anyones There fb page. If you’re confused, then so am I. XD

Skip Skip Ben Ben 斑斑 is/was her solo lo-fi indie rock band. Freckles 雀斑 (雀斑樂團 Freckles) is her long-time indie pop band.  

So, I don’t actually know what’s going on, but there are 3 new songs posted to SC, and if you are following her already, you will find them with the older Skip Skip Ben Ben and solo/cover stuff.

Throwback to the 70s to start Saturday.   =D

Skip Skip Ben Ben 斑斑 posted this on her 林以樂 (twitter) yesterday, it’s very cool!

Since we just mentioned her in the previous post, I see that BenBen (林以樂 Yile Lin) recently put together a playlist of songs she has sung from her various solo, band, and collaboration efforts. (Includes Skip Skip Ben Ben, 林以樂 Yile Lin, Boyz & Girl, 雀斑樂團 Freckles)

I should note that some of these releases are greyed-out (unplayable) for me in the US.   Also, 雀斑樂團 Freckles are found under Freckle on Spotify.

[fyeahcindie]

So good to hear new music from these peeps!  This is The Shine & Shine & Shine & Shine 閃閃閃閃, and it’s the song “兒時舞 25″ from the new album, Shiori.   =D

This tune is an upbeat rocker, and it seems like a reply to their 2009 song “一瞬之光” (From the 1st album Meet Me When You Are 25.  

Music/Lyrics: 葛亭筠 Ko Ting-Yun (there’s a post on IG saying she wrote the song back in 2015, before the band first broke up.  I’m glad they brought it back!) Arrangement: 閃閃閃閃 Producer: 閃閃閃閃 Vocal Producer: Yile Lin 林以樂 (aka Skip Skip Ben Ben 斑斑), 鄭平

The song I referred to above -- I’ve posted this several times, but it’s a classic TW indie song (lyrics back at YT):

[fyeahcindie]

New music on the way!  =D

林以樂 Yile Lin announced a new solo single coming Friday. And she changed her artist name. Again.  XD  林以樂 (リン·イーラー) (twitter), Skip Skip Ben Ben 斑斑, BenBen 斑斑 Lin, and don’t forget her long-time band 雀斑樂團 Freckles

旅人 Pilots In The Sky And On The Sea have been posting lots of short clips from the studio to Instagram and fb. (If you follow them on IG, you can see the video stories before they disappear).   It has been a long, hard slog to complete the album project, but they are still having fun as a band, which is so, so important!  In the video still, you see singer/synth player Maggie Wang tweaking a sound.

大象體操 Elephant Gym are a relentless bunch, eh?  This is a still of KT 張凱婷 recording, posted to Instagram earlier today. 

And I have mentioned in the past that it’s a rule of FYCI that I don’t mention Pilots without posting a song -- here is Still Water, recorded at SOUND Live House in Taichung last June.  一起追星去 Party Star channel just posted the whole set a couple of weeks ago. The a/v is a bit murky:

Still Water is a song from their 2014 Half​-​naked journey EP, go listen and purchase at Bandcamp.  =D

[fyeahcindie]

More new music!  =D

This is new from 林以樂 aka BenBen Lin 斑斑 aka Anyones There aka Skip Skip Ben Ben 斑斑 and now also going by 林以樂リン·イーラー. I didn’t expect the singer from Freckles 雀斑 to come out with this kind of neo-soul style, but it’s really nice!  (I can imagine 9m88 singing something like this)

Anyway, it’s a new solo single, possibly meant as a Japanese release(?) Coming out on 7 inch vinyl/digital download on Oct. 9.

And here is a new MV from PiA吳蓓雅, a gorgeous ballad with strings:
