Fujiya & Miyagi have left me speechless with their new single, "Knickbocker". In just 3:20 they manage to set the most stream of conscious, nonsensical lyrics I've heard all year to a deep, most infectious krautrock beat. It's not huge leaps and bounds from their last album, 2006's Transparent Things, but all the same, the return of Fujiya & Miyagi remind you about just how fun and refreshing they Are, and how much you missed them. The greatest thing about their music is that it they don't work the details to death; it's as if they set out the paints and canvas and let the listener paint the picture themselves. The songs become whatever you want them to be, or whatever you need them to be in that moment, which is pretty special and unique.
Their sophomore album, Lightbulbs is available September 16th on Deaf, Dumb + Blind Records, and sees the addition of real drums on some tracks by Lee Adams. Lightbulbs is a must-hear on musical musical to-do list.
