rock band and project of yuichi abe, April in 85<\/a>, released a new single with a double A side: BREAKING DAWN\/CALL ME. The songs has been spread in March, but gotten a new flavour.<\/p>\n

April in 85 consists of singer and guitarist yuichi abe (ex-the butterfly nine cord) and get supported by the following guest musicians: bass player ayumi shiraishi (CUICUI\/BAKAYARO NO HI), guitarist daisuke shimizu and drummer hiroyuki adati (HISTGRAM). The band made its debut on October 12th, 2016 with a liveshow and one month later the first single got released. Eventually April in 85 released a number of singles, including the newest single. Is it time for an album? That is what the musician thought, because on April 20, 2018 the first album will be released: April in 85.<\/p>\n

\"April
April in 85 – BREAKING DAWN\/CALL ME<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The two tracks fit together based on the calm atmosphere that comes forward in both of them, but aren’t copies of each other in the slightest. BREAKING DAWN is a ballad and CALL ME is a sweet and cheerful electropop song.<\/p>\n

Maybe the songs are a bit too sweet and juicy, but that depends on the tastes of the listener. The songs dance along on the waves, like there isn’t a spike waiting in the tracks. It gives a bit of an unfinished feeling, like something is missing. Both tracks are still pleasant on the hearing. It shows there is potential.<\/p>\n

yuichi doesn’t let go of the autotune, which is a shame. He hides his real singing voice with this. It does fit in the ’80’s vibe he’s trying to accomplish with his band and isn’t misplaced in the slightest. Still I don’t think it’s needed for him to use an autotune, his real voice is just fine as it is.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, April in 85 does not sit still. After releasing the single<\/a> and announcing an album, it was also announced that a DVD is on the schedule. The DVD is a live DVD of a live show recorded by FILMZERO (sentaro) and will be released on December 24th.<\/p>\n
