Lullatone :: “A Mobile Over Your Bed”
Posted by PJ in New, Previews, Random, The Yellow Stereo
After having problems with getting a decent amount of sleep for the past week and a half, it would almost seem like a bad idea to post this song from Lullatone and their self-described brand of self-described “pajama pop”. It’s been a while since I last heard from them, so it’s nice to hear this new single from their forthcoming album Songs That Spin in Circles.
Lullatone is a duo that comprises of Shawn James Seymour & Yoshimi Tomida, who make their home in Nagoya, Japan. The project originally began with Shawn creating lullabies for Yoshimi. Here’s a description from an older post below from Shawn himself that provides a unique perspective on their music.
Just another reason to get back into bed, which I take back what I said earlier about it being such a bad thing!
Imagine if Sigur Ros and Architecture in Helsinki were planning on recording an album together, but the studio was already double booked! Therefore they decided to record it in one of the member’s bedroom on his cassette player.
Just then Kahimi Karie called, so they said “Oh great, why don’t you come over too? We’ll have a slumber party tonight,” and she said, “Ok.” They started recording but it was getting late and they were afraid that their neighbors might complain if they were too loud,so they replaced all guitar parts with music boxes.
About that time Kahimi showed up and said “Let’s order a pizza, I’m starving.” Next they were eating the pizza and they got thirsty, but the only thing they had in the refrigerator was milk. Milk has that thing in it that makes you sleepy, so they all got a little sleepy, and then singer guy from Sigur Ros decided his voice was too high for this project, so he asked Kahimi to sing. She did and it sounded great! And than they all fell asleep. The End.
