King Tut’s Summer Nights with Bwani, Whispery Club, Barbary Coast, Be Charlotte, 24/7/15

It’s Bwani’s turn to headline this years King Tut’s Summer Nights and though the smattering of people steadily increases as each of the four acts takes their turn on stage, the venue doesn’t quite hit the atmosphere provided by a full and roused audience. Be Charlotte (AKA Charlotte Brimner) is a singer/songwriter from Dundee who uses superbly impressive vocal acrobatics to dance around the poppy…

BWANi – ‘Tokyo Talk’

BWANi – ‘Tokyo Talk’

‘Tokyo Talk’ sees BWANi at their most experimental; they maintain an element of their distinctive jubilant sound but fuse it with… J-pop!(?)

It’s quite cool and definitely worth a listen.

There’s something bothering the back of my mind though, which is the recycling of the vocals from ‘Borneo’, a release from a year or two ago.

Has this been done to raise a case for comparison?

If so, is it to be…

I HEART MOOSIQ PREMIERE:

It’s a much needed wet and rainy day here in San Francisco, but BWANi, formerly known as BWANi Junction, whisk me away to an incandescent world of joyous indie pop on Tokyo Talk. The Scottish band brings waves of raunchy disco warmth on the cheeky song, which is partly inspired by the music of Ryuichi Sakamoto and the J-pop scene of the early 90s. Tokyo Talk is actually a massive re-working of a track BWANi released several years ago, and the further development of the band’s unique sound quickly brings back fond memories of my short visit to the festive Roppongi and Shibuya districts in Japan. Tokyo Talk is a charming indie dance jam that boasts an irresistible chorus, shamisen-style guitars, quirky lyrics, and the best flurry of cowbells ever. According to lead singer Rory Fairweather, the lyrics are “about that point in the night when everyone and everything is going wild around you, but you’re completely oblivious to it because you’re talking to just one person, like they’re the only one who exists”.

The vivaciously teasing thriller is sure to enrapture the ears of those who also love the balmy glitz of Friendly Fires. It only follows that some booty shaking is highly recommended. The new single is already receiving two radio plays in the UK this weekend, both on Amazing Radio, one of them with Jim Gellatly. Tokyo Talk will officially be released on May 4th. BWANi reports that a third album is currently taking shape, and Tokyo Talk is a delicious hint of what’s to come.

NOTE: Alright kids, I know this has probably shown up a few times on your feed, but here’s a last ditch attempt to fix an issue the band and I have been trying to figure out, and again, this is the perfect whimsical spring/summer indie gem, so here’s your chance to re-visit Tokyo Talk, or hear it for the first time ever.
