Single Review: Ling Toshite Sigure - DIE meets HARD

In the fifteen years since their inception Ling Toshite Sigure has undoubtedly found a formula that works for them, a unique style that many are influenced by, yet no one can ever fully imitate. The problem with being as consistent a band as they have for as long as they have is that sometimes that consistency can start to feel like complacency. Ever since the release of 2013’s i’mperfect, what is probably the most powerful release to come out of their formula, the band seems to have been in a state of stagnation. However, with “DIE meets HARD”, they may have found a way to bring an exciting freshness to their signature sound.

Since the release of the short clip on the internet several weeks ago, “DIE meets HARD” has felt subtly different from Ling Toshite’s recent output. The main riff of the song brings a welcome change; a high energy, confident piece of guitar work that sounds like it would feel at place in a completely different song by a totally different band, but that’s actually why it works. What really sets this song apart and gives it its freshness is not only the chaotic riff that the song is structured around, it is also the melancholic and melodic bass that plays alongside it, providing a contrast that we don't always get from this band. At around three minutes into the song, we finally hear the title sang aloud, and, like this band's most endearing past uses of english, it's corny, yet performed with such conviction that it really stays with you. bassist 345's delivery is what sells the line and, coupled with the breakdown that immediately follows, turns what might be embarrassing coming from a different artist into something exemplary and effecting. Unfortunately, the remix by Koji Nakamura that is included on the release seems to remove all of the distinguishing and exciting aspects of the song listed above, resulting a very stale and reductive version the inclusion of which is, frankly, unnecessary.

B-side "I'm Machine" puts the focus on Pierre Nakano’s drum skills in a way that this band hasn't done in some time. Not very memorable when compared to the previous song, but like “Die Meets Hard”, reminds of how affecting 345's vocal performances really can be. Going forward, Ling Toshite could benefit immensely from more spotlight on her vocals, and general increased attention on members other than TK.

“DIE meets HARD” is not exactly a drastic change in direction for Ling Toshite, nor is it the much needed revitalization I was hoping for. What it is is a step in the right direction, an interesting and exciting tweaking of the group’s road-hardened formula that could lead to some very intriguing work in their future.

Note: Since the music video for the song is blocked in countries that aren’t Japan (ughhhh), I’ve left it out of the review proper and linked it here in case anybody who’s reading this can watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAyJshW6-qA

[vagabondedlife]

Post-hardcore was such a good genre, At the Drive-In, The Mars Volta, Circa Survive, Rin Toshite Shigure, Kamomekamome, On the Might of Princes, Thursday, Number Girl, Touche Amore, Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas is the reason, The Blood Brothers, Fall of Troy, Circle Takes the Square and the energy behind those sounds, vocals and just the whole presence... I’m still looking out for a newer album that makes me go “woah post-hardcore is the shit“ but it really peaked around 2013 didn’t it. Deconstructed Club/EDM/Hip-Hop etc. is nice too but man, post-hardcore is for l-i-f-e.
