Tagged by @shimyereh — thank you! Five songs I have listened to recently:

Laura Jurd — Henry

A big friendly tune from The Big Friendly Album, a lovely and approachable jazz album with some unorthodox instrumentation. (Also my Bug Prentice bandmate Ruth Goller plays bass on the album!)

Otoboke-Beaver — PARDON?

A blast of Japanese punk about that frustrating moment when you can’t fucking hear what someone is saying. PARDON?! I heard this band for the first time earlier this month, and it’s been ages since something new excited me so much. Full of unpredictable twists and turns of shifting tempos, weird and lots of fun. I love the whole album.

Robert Wyatt — Shipbuilding

One of my chief musical influences and a disability icon for me too, Robert Wyatt’s unique voice makes this beautiful Elvis Costello song doubly poignant. Diving for dear life, when we should be diving for pearls…

Erik Satie — Gnossienne No. 1

One of my favourite Satie piano pieces. What else is there to say about it?

Randy Newman — God’s Song (That’s Why I Love Mankind)

This is up there with XTC’s Dear God as one of the all-time great anti-religion songs. Er, Merry Christmas.

Otoboke Beaver share blistering new single ‘PARDON?’

Japanese punk-rock-garage quartet Otoboke Beaver share their newest snarling track ‘PARDON?,’ the biting lead single from their new album Super Champon, out May 6 via Damnably.

A jokey recounting of a situation that the band often finds themselves in with unrelenting miscommunication of unsolicited and overzealous points of views, the simple lyrical refrains pose as an extreme contrast to the stop-start time changes and dizzying pace.

The band says, “Sometimes, the more you insist, the harder it is to understand you. We don’t have time to understand if you don’t have time to understand.”

PARDON? - Otoboke Beaver from the album Super Champon

[luuurien]

Otoboke Beaver - Super Champon

(Hardcore Punk, Noise Rock, Metalcore)

The Kyoto punk quartet's sophomore album is a blisteringly-fast sugar rush of ferociously fun garage punk that continues to kick back against traditional norms and shows Otoboke Beaver's ability to fit so much into an almost preposterous runtime. Fitting 18 songs into just 21 minutes, Super Champon is nothing if not high-octane, bubblegum-scented glory.

☆☆☆☆½

Super Champon is more songs in less time than Otoboke Beaver's debut, and somehow ends up even better for it. Otoboke Beaver's music has always called back to the classic hardcore punk style, songs that are rarely more than a minute that fit as much as possible into every bar at unthinkably fast tempos, and they do it so well that you never feel like they're lacking in content to dig into. Being their sophomore album after their debut ITEKOMA HITS that mixed new versions of their older songs around all-news ones, Super Champon challenges the band not only to bring a whole batch of new songs to the table, but to spice things up and give a new take on their delightfully frantic sound, and they've unquestionably achieved that. Titling the album after the Japanese term "champon," which refers to a sort of clutter or hodgepodge as well as a type of Nagasaki soup thrown together in a similar way, Super Champon's wild mix of genres into the hardcore format makes for some of the most insanely fun songs this year, blends of mathcore and riot grrrl and thrash metal and J-pop and whatever else pops into Otoboke Beaver's heads that never stops being a total delight. Where ITEKOMA HITS' power often came largely from its vocal performances atop simplistic but thrilling instrumentation, Super Champon ups the ante on both fronts. Some of these instrumental transitions are so abrupt and surprising it's remarkable that it all fits into only a minute or two at a time: how PARDON? swaps from throbbing garage rock with increasingly manic singing with rhythm changes happening all over into a thrashing hardcore breakdown where the group's thorny chants of "Shut Up! Shut Up! Shut Up!" never let up to the 43-second George and Janice where they somehow are able to stop for seconds at a time and still make so much happen within the track that it ends up one of the most electrifying moments on the entire LP. Early highlight YAKITORI throws down a genuinely grindcore drum fill as Accorinrin shouts out "Destroy!" before yelling out a hellish screech that goes right back into the bubbly J-pop style hook without a second for you to breathe. Sharp turns and blood-boiling bursts of energy are Super Champon's modus operandi, the base for which Leave me Alone! No, Stay With Me! brings on its mathcore downpour of guitars and First-Class Side-Guy is able to earworm its way inside your mind, but by being just barely over 21 minutes, the album never gets too heavy on the ears and the light bounce to all their songs ensures the music never fatigues you. It's always a ton of fun seeing what they'll do next, and Super Champon always has something new in store for you. It also builds upon many of the ideas of individuality and rejection of Japan's societal norms that they started digging into on their debut. Where the scenes of ITEKOMA HITS often landed in more general territory, there's an unusual intimacy to the anger they have here that brings to light just how intertwined so much of their lives are with oppressive gender and relationship norms. The tense vocal introduction of I Checked Your Cellphone sounds like the seconds waiting for your partner's phone to connect to the internet before finding out what they've been doing behind your back: “I couldn’t help looking into / And he found a match on a dating app!” the band spits with a venomous tongue. They speak little of the details, but you can tell he fucked up, but Otoboke Beaver leaves it up to you to decide just what he's been doing in the shadows. The intense nature of the music doesn't take away from the narrative, but rather supports it, the internal fury of a woman being taken advantage of by an uncommitted boyfriend. I Am Not Maternal and I Won't Dish Out Salads knock down the expectations of child-rearing and casual misogyny with a comedic edge and a commitment to themselves, their powerful instrumentation and tightly-wound group vocals making it clear Otoboke Beaver are not to be fucked with. They're still a fun band by all measures, poking fun at how absurd and backwards many of these long-lived societal standards are, but as they continue to dig deeper into their relationships with modern relationships and social relations, Otoboke Beaver shows they are ready to take them down through the motivation their music provides. Everything about Super Champon screams confidence, a quartet who understand exactly what makes their music click and makes it all so intense that you can never look away. It's such a fun album that it's hard not to scream out every word alongside them, the band taking you from 0 to 60 miles an hour like the most twisty rollercoaster you can find that never stops for a second. It's the most sour neon candy in the grocery store that blows up like a bomb the second you open the package, coated with heaps of sugar that leaves you wanting more by the time it's all over. And even while the feelings of the songs say the same, Super Champon imbues so many new musical ideas that it ends up a huge step forward from their past music, proving that modern punk doesn't need to stray too far from home to still feel progressive and forward-thinking. Though they're not the most prominent punk group out there right now, they certainly have the tenacity and power behind them to continue growing and cementing their status within it over the years, Super Champon a fantastic development for them in that regard. Otoboke Beaver's got their finger on the trigger, and when it's time for them to let the ammunition belt fire off, they don't ever miss their targets once. If you're not standing behind them, there's no chance they'll let you get away easily.
