Bray Me(ブレイミー) - DUH Album Thoughts(J-rock)

 





   Bray Me is a Japanese band that is from the underground indie scene. They have been releasing songs as singles for over a year. I originally found them online when they weren't very well known. Now, they have grown a steady fanbase as their first full length album called Duh has been released. 





01. 30’s
02. イエスタデイ
03. Seeker
04. サイダー
05. Awaking
06. 人間らしく
07. エビデンスロード
08. 青い炎
09. シンシア
10. 曖昧な日々だ
11. あの街の行方
12. 魔法のように
13. 明日になれば
14. Sing to Myself




    Duh is the kind of album that I enjoy. The tracks keep the same musical formula all throughout the album. These girls music reminds me of youth confined in the walls of society. I also think of the scenery inside a school as the afternoon sun hits the desks in an empty classroom. Bray Me's music has a truthful emotion that connects using the rhythm of the music with lyrics longing for something more in life. I didn't think that I would enjoy the tracks all the way to the end of the album but, I did. Bray Me reminds me of the older all girl bands from the early 2000s in Japan. I'm glad that these girl bands are slowly coming back in style again. 







    Their lead front woman has a rock vocal type of voice. Raspy when it needs to be but soft when you want it to be. She could work on being a little more in control of her voice. There's a wiggly vibrato behind some of her notes that she sings.






    Duh is a good album overall. I'm proud of them for sticking to one sound without trying to conform to what is popular right now in Japan. I can these girls being around for awhile. CHECK THEM OUT:
