"Listening to Old Toy Trains made me think of an old man fondly recalling the summer of his youth. It’s bittersweet and dreamy music, heavily relying on distortion and effects pedals. Underneath the slow haze of sound was the deep croon of singer/guitarist Bo Chung. His introspective lyrics touched on empty spaces, long shadows, and lovers long gone. Lifting him up were the angelic vocals provided by keyboardist Suki Ewers (who you may know from her work in the excellent bands Opal and Mazzy Star) and drummer Ai Kusuhara. Ai also scored major points for having plastic drumsticks that lit up an electric blue every time she pounded her snares. Pretty colors for pretty music."

I uploaded two new tracks, called “I Love Your Swingin’ in a Swing” & “Another Kiss, Another Night”.
*******
“I Love Your Swingin’ in a Swing” ; Partly polyrhythm of 3/4 & 4/4. ; Motown beats. ; I intentionally wrote so catchy melody with mainly using major keys (so this track is very different from my old works).
“Evening Dress (Another Kiss)” ; I tried to make a track like bossa nova, but the finished is nothing but a strange one… ; And it sounds obscene though I tried to make a elegant one… maybe factor’s a sound of guiro. ; Modulations will come twice. ; In the second interlude, there’s a section like trance music... BPM is over 300.
*******
It will be nice if you give me your impressions… please check those over if you have a time. I’m looking forward to receiving your words.
