The Man（feat.CHOZEN LEE from FIRE BALL）RIP SLYME
This is a collaboration track with CHOZEN LEE from FIRE BALL.
For RIP SLYME, it’s an unusual, super badass track.
With an easy-to-grasp, uplifting vibe, it’s also great for drives.
The One Second FutureSHANK
An insanely cool intro! Personally, a lot of melodic hardcore bands’ songs end up sounding the same to me, but SHANK manages to avoid that—that’s what I think is amazing about them.
The chord progression is actually a pretty common one, but the song still clearly has SHANK’s distinct flavor.
I think it’s a great track.
The Christmas SongShe＆Him
An indie rock duo led by actress Zooey Deschanel, who has appeared in numerous films and TV shows such as (500) Days of Summer and Almost Famous.
With her cute vocals and retro sound, they’ve created a luxurious collection of Christmas songs.
The diamond seaSonic youth
A mirror cracked by the passage of time, a poetic and introspective worldview drawn in relation to others.
This one also leans toward the latter part, where the effects grow heavy and it unfolds in a tangled, Velvet Underground-like way.
It was a band that went on for a long time with twin vocals, but it’s a shame that Thurston and the others recently divorced.
THE POINT OF LOVER’S NIGHTTMN
The intro evokes the African landscape, and the brilliantly soaring, searing lead guitar is fantastic—musically, it’s an excellent track.
On top of that, the distinctive, edgy high-register rock vocals ride in, making it a truly outstanding song.
The nurseThe White Stripes
Come to think of it, starting with this album The White Stripes began to embrace a wider range of expression, and on this track Jack White plays the marimba.
The interplay between the marimba’s main melody, Meg’s drums—which feel as if they’re punched in almost at random—plus maracas, piano, and more is thrilling and fascinating.
The minimalist approach creates a decadent atmosphere, and the music video also conveys a kind of industrial metal-esque sense of desolation.
The Shining ThemeWendy Carlos
This is the theme song from the horror film The Shining, based on a novel by Stephen King and directed by Stanley Kubrick.
Wendy Carlos, who won acclaim for performing Bach on synthesizer, provides the music that complements Jack Nicholson’s chilling portrayal of the protagonist, a writer who loses his sanity as he works on his novel.
The combination of classical training and the eerie effects of the synthesizer matches the film perfectly.
