Metoronori "Veil"
Time will tell whether "Veil" sounds good come warmer months, but right now it's the perfect album for winter. Tokyo artist Metoronori's third full-length album appeared online in the middle of last week, when the wind blew especially cold. With the heat cranked up and the windows shut, "Veil" was a cozy soundtrack for staying in.

Various artists "Tanukineiri Drink Sampler"
It's getting harder to listen to netlabel-released albums in one sitting recently. Electronic-music compilation series "Fogpak" recently put out a collection featuring 48 different artists (should we call the Guinness people?). Now Tanukineiri Records has popped out "Tanukineiri Drink Sampler" — 90 minutes and 30 tracks strong. The album also highlights the negatives and positives of a super-size album in that there are a fair amount of duds to wade through before catching onto some fantastic work from a handful of fledgling artists.

Slow Beach "Lover Lover"
Slow Beach is somewhat of a supergroup in Tokyo's indie-rock scene. The group finds Dai Ogasawara, founder of twee-leaning netlabel Ano(t)raks, hooking up with producer Kai Takahashi, who is responsible for some of the most interesting electronic compositions of the year, including a chilled-out remix of Phoenix's "Entertainment." They have teamed up with Yuriko Ohno (keyboard) and Keito Taguchi (bass) to create "Lover Lover," a collection of tropically tinged songs arriving just in time for summer. Slow Beach isn't just floating on beach imagery and surf-rock guitars, though, as "Lover Lover" conceals some good sonic experimentation and a melancholic heart.
