It's too early to call Album of the Year, but boy, let me tell you, Seven Idiots by World's End Girlfriend is currently at the top of my list. Every song is challenging yet full of melody and infectious ideas. As soon as you think you know what's going on, they shift into some other space. This video for "Les Enfants du Paradis" is the prefect example. While it's the most user-friendly song on the album, it also makes people pay attention and stay alert for sharp turns. I'm no fan of modern dance, but Masako Yasumoto's performance* is perfect for the music. She seems to be some lonely spirit unable to stop herself from dancing, while at the same time longing for a partner to dance with. Of course, this being World's End Girlfriend, she never finds one.
*Masako also performed in Omodaka's "Kyoteizinc" video:

That was freaking amazing. The song goes in all different directions, but it's not overwhelming. The video also complements the song really well. That girl is a fantastic dancer.
Thanks for this new discovery. It's been a while since I've had new music to listen to.
