lego big morl recently introduced the short PV for their upcoming single that shares the same name with their soon-to-be-released 3rd album “Re:Union”, set to come out on December 7th.

The single, “Re:Union”, is a very soft and smooth tune which shows off the vocals of front-man Takehiro Kanata. It fits well with the season of winter. Galileo Galilei and Bump of Chicken fans should make sure to check out lego big morl. I highly recommend all three as their winter releases never fail to impress.

You can check them out at their official website.

Greetings from Toronto! Not only am I making this post while on “vacation” in this wonderful city, but the video itself is also a bit different from usual. It’s a sample of the new single from lego big morl called “Flowers”. Available for free for all the members of their mailing list, the video presents a simple and more intimate view of the band in a recording studio. This should satisfy fans of lego big morl who’ve been waiting for new material since their last album “Mother ship”, which was released last September.

For more information on lego big morl and how to get your hands on their new single, feel free to visit their official website.

“溢れる” (Afureru, to flood) is the latest single from lego big morl. It’s the first release since the band’s debut album, Quartette Parade, which came out back in January. The song’s got some nice groove and is sprinkled throughout with signature-style effervescent guitar licks. It may sprout from familiar ground but it does grow into something its own.

“溢れる” is set for release on July 22nd and features two additional tracks.

Not only is it a big month, personally, but by judging from our release calendar, July looks to be a great month for music, as well. The Telephones’ major debut is slated for release as well as ACIDMAN’s 7th album, A beautiful greed. If those were the only two releases this month, July would be amazing, but of course there’s much, much more.

Here’s a list of the albums and singles coming out in July that we’re most excited about. Most of these are pretty major since some of the indie ones like to really sneak up on us. The featured releases are organized by week, with the most anticipated album/single up top and “other great releases” below (it was really hard to choose just one as “most anticipated” for each week!).

There are so many releases to be excited about. What are you looking forward to this month?

The latest single from lego big morl came out December 10th and it’s good! It’s titled “Ray”. I really enjoyed these guys’ debut mini album and I’m happy to hear “Ray” continue the marvelousness.

Tuesday and Thursday is lego big morl’s debut mini album. The release includes the band’s first two singles, “ワープ” (Warp) and “moonwalk for a week”. The most recent single, “moonwalk for a week” charted inside the top five on the Oricon Indie Charts following its release in May.

The band’s strikingly coherent sound makes Tuesday and Thursday a debut release that leaves a mark. The colorful layers snugly fit together (like LEGOS? I kid) on each and every track.

Tuesday and Thursday is six tracks of unflinching, melodic alt-rock action. The mini album’s bell-shaped composition truly works. It’s not a curve of quality or intensity, but rather one of pace. The title track and “dim” kick things off, “ワープ” and “moonwalk for a week” stand tall in the center, and “テキーラグッバイ” (Tequila Goodbye) and “nice to” are the polished finishing touches.

lego big morl formed in March 2006 in Osaka. The band is Kanata Takehiro (vocals & guitar), Tanaka Hiroki (guitar), Yamamoto Shintaro (bass), and Asakawa Hiro (drums). They’re currently signed with OORONG RECORDS.

In directly related news: I’ll hopefully get to see lego big morl live at Rockだぜ!! at Zepp Fukuoka on August 9th. It’ll be a mindblowing show that features THE BACK HORN, NICO Touches the Walls, チャットモンチー (Chatmonchy), lego big morl, and tacica!!! I might have a heart attack and I can’t wait.

Watch the PV for “ワープ”:
