Thank you to everyone who made our trip to Japan so heartwarming !! Friendship and connecting through art and music is the greatest gift, it blows me away. It feels like a miracle when your creations and spirit feel so aligned with others. We’re all connected through something, maybe it’s the sweet soul of DIY ^_^ 🌀 🎸❤️ see you next time !! どうもありがとうございます

our October album of the month, @menow_jp’s Flannel. On the Pacific coast in central Honshu lies Nagoya, a city home to the world’s largest railway hub, Earth’s biggest planetarium and 7 million inhabitants. It’s also home to Yukiya Kato and Maiko Matsuo who, together as Menow, capture the gentle power of the DIY independent underground. On Flannel, the duo’s third full length record, armed with classical guitars, a couple analogy synths, and two microphones, Menow travel the borderland between fantasy and reality. In a not so dissimilar fashion to their contemporaries (Tenniscoats, Eddie Marcon, Nagisa Ni Te + Spirit Fest spring to the forefront of my mind), Menow create a sort of acid folk that feels otherworldly; haunting, close, and so free flowing that it sounds like it all comes as second nature to Yuikya and Maiko. Listening to Menow makes me feel like I’ve entered a new secret world, soothing and soaring in equal measure. The record, released on cassette by Galaxy Train (Tony Jay, fuvk), is an 8 track long exploration through simple melody lines, gently driving background synth and the occassional field recording. Flannel is two artists creating in equal artistic measure. It’s not too difficult to imagine the two of them mic-ed up in a bedroom, floating above all 7 million people in the city, recording a track like 海溝にて鳴く鹿を見たか. It all feels so familiar and tender, like it’s always existed in the back rooms of quiet cafes and the DIY underground of Japan. Playing with Linda Smith, the Kitchenettes, and Cindy (after a flying visit to California), Menow aren’t really our little secret, but it still feels like they are - it sounds like they are - and I’ve never been very good at keeping secrets, anyway. An album of the year, an album for all the seasons, an album solidified into Monorail history already. Each cassette tape comes hand numbered, with a digital download, lyric sheet, Menow sticker and Galaxy Train sticker. We’ve also got limited copies of マスピレヌスの塔 (Tower of Maspillenus), Menow’s previous record, on white snow tapes. A more haunting, slowcore side of the group’s acid folk roots. LT xo
