[230610] BLIND LETTER ✧ JIHEON

[bandcampsnoop]

2/19/25.

Thanks to Bandcamp user Mawkish Twaddler for buying this. I can't overemphasize how much I follow what other Bandcamp users buy.

Menow are a Nagoya, Japan two person band who describe themselves as slowcore/acid folk. I'm particularly drawn to the synth work and melodies. This is a cassette release on Japanese label Galaxy Train. I was surprised to see that this is the first post mentioning this label. Galaxy Train have also released work from Tony Jay, The Memories and Christmas Snow Story (ex-Camera Obscura). I've been thoroughly enjoying the Apartment Star 7" from 2000. Galaxy Train appears to have been around since the late 1990s.

I've been spending this morning listening to many different sounds from the label. So great to uncover a gem like Galaxy Train on Bandcamp. Feels like I've struck a bountiful indie pop vein.

Back to Menow. Their sound recalls bands like Maple Fyshh, Hallelujahs and Nagisi Di Te.

Let's play!

a.k.a you're stuck with the party for the next twelve hours! Which empty seat will you take?

The price? Business class costs 2.5 times the economy class. That's cheating? Yep, those at Buss class are cheaters alright 🫠😌

Not a lot of stage choreography in this MV, which makes me even more excited than usual to see the performance MV. I hope they go with the pajamas concept for that; this theater concept is gorgeous, but it gives me IZ*ONE “Panorama” vibes, and that triggers bad thoughts about fromis_9′s future (I know fromis_9 performance MVs are usually their own thing, but the pajama scenes are really cute and I want to see more---if not in the performance MV, maybe on a music show stage?).
