Ep. 15 of ComicPop Visits with Everfound’s lead singer Nikita

Welcome to Episode 15 of ComicPop Visits.  Today the gang is joined by Nikita, the lead singer of the Denver, Colorado based band Everfound.  April discovered this band during a Dare 2 Share teen retreat.  We reached out to the band and with the help of Markus, one of the bands promoters, Nikita was able to join us for a visit.  We also get joined by Mozart during the visit as you will be able to tell right away.

So join us and Nikita for an interesting and fun visit, by listening above, at www.comicpoplibrary.com, or wait until later today and it will be up on our iTunes feed.

I would like to thank Markus Hwang for setting this visit up for ComicPop Library.  We had a great time.

RAJ releases A “Ghost” to the Airwaves

Left-field artist RÁJ is mysterious — even we don’t know who he is. And like Jai Paul or Burial before him, he’s a singular voice, one whose mysteriousness aids his sly, tough to pin down songs.

“Ghost” is a slow burner that draws the sonic hallmarks of beat culture into the realm of actual songcraft, like Bon Iver collaborating with Bibio. As it builds, RÁJ carries the song into high drama territory, with an intensity that sounds like a male Florence Welch.
RAJ likes to play with a the sounds of instruments  in his release of “Ghost”.  This will not be on most people’s radar because of the uniqueness of his sound.  His voice is really clear and a pleasure to listen to.  This is one that after I listened to it I could get into.  If you like experimenting with your music this is definitely one for you.  Give it a listen below by click on the link.
“Ghost” exclusively premiered via Pigeons & Planes

Lots of Love in Book Stores

Lots Of Love’s Jessica Fleischer
Set To Release Children’s Book

‘Little Luna and The Universe’ 
on September 24th.

Save the date for the book’s launch:
Thursday, September 26th, 6-8pm
at Books and Cookies in Santa Monica.

Five years in the making, Little Luna and the Universe not only teaches children about the bigger picture of the Universe on a scientific level, it also exposes them to spiritual themes of love and oneness that are necessary to fully grapple with the hugeness of our existence.

On the night we meet Little Luna, she dreams herself to a distant place in the Universe.  Far away from everything she knows, she must learn about the Universe before she can go back home and return to wake up in her bed.

She learns about galaxies, the solar system, and the names of all the planets. She also learns about the moon, and that the Universe and everything in it are one.  By the end of her journey, she understands that she is part of that oneness.

The Wyld Premieres Their Newest Single

Complex Premieres Latest Track
‘Odyssey’ From The Wyld

THE WYLDE’S NEW SINGLE

‘ODYSSEY’

PREMIERING NOW ON

COMPLEX MUSIC

 

The Wyld were nice enough to give away their debut album, ‘Preface‘, for free on Pigeons and Planes last month. Now they’re premiering their high octane new single, “Odyssey,” on Complex.
Stream it here.

The Wyld have a mix of Rap and Electronic Pop, very interesting.  This New Zealand group has the beats hitting you full force and the vocals are clear so you can enjoy the complete package.  That being said they have a sound that isn’t quite main stream, so it might take a few listens to let their music sink in.  Give them a chance you might find you enjoy them.  Click the links above to stream their song “Odyssey” and the Pigeons and Planes link to listen to their first full album.

New Zealand outfit The Wyld just finished recording Odyssey, along with the rest of their upcoming EP, Abstract, in the Red Bull Studios in Auckland.  Needless to say, the title is a perfect encapsulation of The Wyld’s gracious pairing of ballooning, smoothly layered lyrical flow and fever-pitch rhymes.  The song comes together strand by strand with drum beats, synths, Mo’s raps and Brandon Black’s welcomingly gentle harmonies weaving together a cord of musical adventure.

Bushiroad gets Miku

Here’s one that might have some cross over appeal.  Bushiroad is adding to it’s Weiss Schwarz trading card game with the set entitled Hatsune Miku Project Diva f.  This will appeal to your CCG collectors, Hatsune Miku fans, and J-Pop fans.  The set will have 100 cards and has a planned release date of November 1.  The set will include gold foil chase cards and autographed cards by Saki Fujita, who voiced the vocaloid.  The set will be sold in Trail Decks and Booster Packs.  However, for the collectors that want the whole set seven of the cards are exclusive only in the Trail Decks, so you will need to get a Trail Deck no matter what for you gaming collection.

Opening to Fairy Fencer F

On this last Wednesday, Compile Heart began streaming the opening to the new Fairy Fencer F role-playing game, which will be available on PlayStation 3 in Japan on October 10.  There is no release date for the North American market.  However, I’m posting this because we get to hear Maho Matsunaga, a member of StylipS sing the opening entitled “Resonance World” and we don’t get to hear to many J-Pop songs.  So thank you to “CompileHeartOFFICIAL” channel for releasing the opening, I enjoyed listening to it and you can check it out below:
