Fitting into the sound of the moment while still standing apart from it can be a tricky thing to do. Paellas guitarist Satoshi Anan says he wanted the feeling of ¡°now¡± to come out on his band¡¯s newest album, ¡°Pressure.¡±
¡°But I didn¡¯t want to make it like fast-fashion clothes ... or fast food,¡± Anan says, adding that he rectified this by adding some 1980s and ¡®90s nostalgia.
Released via 2.5D Productions, the 10 tracks on ¡°Pressure¡± tap into what¡¯s currently in vogue music-wise: sparse touches of R&B by way of tight bass and chilly synthesizers ¡ª not unlike the style favored by artists like Blood Orange ¡ª and a bit of Disclosure-esque British house (on the aptly named ¡°P House¡°).
