Why do we like this?

I kind of wonder what they've been up to. After a single and EP in 2014, It Looks Sad. released a double sided single, Kaiju, almost two years ago. Since then it's been a sorrowful silence.

The tamer side of Kaiju, Nagoya, is a wailing, guitar heavy piece with a dense atmosphere. With a gripping introduction from some lovely guitar chords and a spacious drumset, the lyrics edge in dripping with melancholy. The chorus comes through like a wave, as though to flush out the sadness, and ends leaving an aching space for the next verse. It's a song with an interesting energy, and I'd love to hear if there is more in the future from It Looks Sad.

ps. Don't forget your coat.

By Jason Grishkoff on Jul 25, 2014 | Can you believe this song was released all the way back in 1996? That's before I was even listening to music of my own accord...
