A hypnotic tune from 莉莉周她說 Lily Chou-Chou Lied   =D

愛人Dear You is the closing track on their new album, 大預言家 The Foreteller. As always, I love their unison vocal sound, and this track features spooky, gliding synth lines in the arrangement. Very effective!

Lovely set from soft electro unit 莉莉周她說 Lily Chou-Chou Lied, recorded back in January at Revolver Bar.  =D

Audio is perfect - video is fine, but from a low angle in dim lighting. 

大慶 Ral Chen-Voc/Bass/Program (also in 眠腦 Sleeping Brain), 楊先妤 Vio (Viona Yang)-Vocal/Percussion/Synth, 又銓 Sean Yu Chuan Chen-Drums/Perc.

Soft electro band 莉莉周她說 Lily Chou-Chou Lied   We linked to the StreetVoice demo a few months ago but it’s been posted to YT, so if you missed it before, don’t miss it now!  =D

大慶 Ral Chen-Vocal/Bass/Program, 楊先妤 Vio (Viona Yang)-Vocal/Percussion/Synth and 又銓 Sean Yu Chuan Chen-Drums/Perc. 

(Sean is also in Yellowback 野樂派 and Ral is also in 眠腦 Sleeping Brain)

And earlier today, they posted a new demo w/lyrics to StreetVoice.  I adore their unison male/female vocals and on this tune, the synths are more percussive than usual, kind of a steel drum sound.

Coming up on July 20th at PIPE Live Music: 神說愛她：霓虹愛神ｘ莉莉周她說 莉莉周她說 Lily Chou-Chou Lied & Neon Eros. 霓虹愛神

Neon Eros. self-describe as 'Chillwave, Lofi Hip Hop, Vaporwave, Songwriter, 華語流行'  They have a soft electro sound as well, so let’s have a listen:

Sam Lin 林泓伸-Voc/Gtr, Ruby 鹿比 (Ruby Fatale / Ruby Fatale 鹿比 ∞ 吠陀)-Synth/Beat Maker, 歐易-Bass (also in 厭世少年 Angry Youth), 黃建勛-Gtr, 吳程笛-Drums (厭世少年 Angry Youth).  

The 4 demos were written by Sam w/ arrangement/production by Ruby. 

More links: StreetVoice,  YouTube,  Instagram.  Checking out their photos, it looks like the drummer might use a full drum kit or play an electronic thing, depending on the venue(?), and the bassist will mix in an upright acoustic bass for certain songs.   =D

TheNextBigThingTW uploaded a big pile of showcase clips from 2018 today, including 2 from electro trio 莉莉周她說 Lily Chou-Chou Lied. =D

The band are: 大慶 Ral Chen-Vocal/Bass/Program (also in 眠腦 Sleeping Brain)

楊先妤 Vio (Viona Yang)-Vocal/Percussion/Synth (Drummer in 午休失眠 WSSM Band)

又銓 Sean Yu Chuan Chen-Drums/Perc. (also in Yellowback 野樂派)

They haven’t posted anything on fb since late last year, but I just read on Instagram that this showcase in November was the last gig of the year for the band, and then they were gonna take a break and come back with more music in 2019.  Well, as we have seen with many bands we follow, those short planned ‘breaks’ have a tendency to turn into prolonged hiatus. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen with 莉莉周她說 Lily Chou-Chou Lied!

Viona back there on the drum kit with 午休失眠 WSSM Band:

Last July, they released an official MV, I’m sure we posted it before, but in case you missed it:

莉莉周她說 Lily Chou-Chou Lied just came out with their first MV/Single.  =D

The band had help on the harmony vocals and recording/mixing/production from Leaf 葉子  & 李詠恩 Joshua Lee (Hello Nico).  Full credits back at YT.

The songs we posted previously were ‘demos’, but they all sounded quite polished to my ears. I love their soft electro style and shared vocals.  大慶 Ral Chen-Voc/Bass/Program (also in 眠腦 Sleeping Brain), 先妤 Vio (Viona Yang)-Vocal/Percussion/Synth, 又銓 Sean Yu Chuan Chen-Drums/Perc. (also in Yellowback 野樂派) 

Let’s have a listen to one of those demos:

Fabulous new cover from 莉莉周她說 Lily Chou-Chou Lied, a cover of a Tanya Chua 蔡健雅 song.   They posted it yesterday, it’s not at YT yet, so you’ll have to go over to StreetVoice to listen. Recommended!  =D

陳大慶 Ral Chen-Voc/Bass/Program (Ral is also in 眠腦 Sleeping Brain), 陳又銓 Sean Yu Chuan Chen-Drums/Perc. (also in Yellowback 野樂派), 張芷瑄 Hsuan Chang-Voc/Synth/Perc. (我是機車少女i'mdifficult, Dotzio)

And here is the most recent MV from 我是機車少女i'mdifficult, just posted 2 weeks ago, featuring a similar m/f shared vocal that works so well for LLCCL:

This is on their 3rd ep, which I don’t see out yet, at least not on Spotify.

New MV from 眠腦 Sleeping Brain    This is the 2nd excellent song we’ve posted recently, and I’m really psyched to hear more from them!

I suggest checking out the full credits at YT, but let’s at least mention producer/co-arranger 韓立康 HLK (guitarist Likang Han from 椰子!! Coconuts & Waa Wei and Lovely Baby).  顏靜萱 Ka Ka Yen (fr. Vast & Hazy) was vocal producer/co-chorus arranger. 

呂尚儒 (Agao 阿搞)-gtr/synth/harmony, 顧孟堯 Raven Gu-Lead voc/synth (also in Looking Grace 看啊! 葛瑞絲), Ral Chen 陳慶大 (大慶)-bass/keys/harmony (also in 莉莉周她說 Lily Chou-Chou Lied), 李亮瑩 Thrissa Skala-drums (also in Everfor)

Coming up on Sept. 27th at Clapper Studio in Taipei: 眠腦 Sleeping Brain 首張專輯《裸浪》發片場. This the release show for their debut album, 裸浪 Bare Wave.  (They released an ep in 2013 with their original lineup.)

And speaking of 莉莉周她說 Lily Chou-Chou Lied, here is their newest demo, and it’s again got me wondering when we can expect a full-length debut album from them:

大慶 Ral Chen-Voc/Bass/Program (眠腦 Sleeping Brain), *楊先妤 Vio (Viona Yang)-Vocal/Percussion/Synth, 又銓 Sean Yu Chuan Chen-Drums/Perc. (also in Yellowback 野樂派)

*I recently learned that Viona used to be the drummer for 午休失眠 WSSM Band, but they went on hiatus over a year ago, and their fb page is gone. (You can check out their 6-song ep at YouTube: 午休失眠)
