NUBACK (pronounced Noo-back), the solo unit of Dai Nakamura (BANK, Vacation Three, ex-Arch), has just released a 7" single on German label Growing Bin Records! The two songs were previously included on digital EP "Good bye Summer, Again" (2013) (Bandcamp, Spotify).
Song descriptions from Growing Bin:
"Opening with a fanfare of featherlight pads and full bodied bass, 'When The Party Is Over' is pure sonic seduction, holding both Balearic boogie and City Pop in a tender embrace. Delicate guitar and sparkling sequences tug the heartstrings with nostalgic beauty, and Dai's smooth vocals are made to make you swoon. Emotional pop at its finest folks.
On the B-side, 'Heartbeat Summer' drops the tempo and soaks up the sun, losing its cares in a haze of loved up dub. As soulful keys sink into spring reverb and steam kettle synths ride a rolling bassline, this downbeat delight lays back in the long grass, making shapes from the clouds and sipping a cool koshu."
In Japan, the 7" is available at Too Young Records, Newtone Records, Lighthouse Records and Disk Union.
