Frosty 15

Tracks:

Nelories released 3 albums in Japan, this one is their second and the only one out on Sugarfrost. Recorded in London, produced by their hero Bid from The Monochrome Set - you can hear the influence on some of their tracks.

I know them from their high school days - they really are school friends who decided to make some music together. And very unique one, too. Jun the songwriter sings and plays accordion, while Kazumi twangs her guitar - but, not in a I've-just-decided-to start-a-band-and-bought-the-guitar-yesterday kind of way, they've been musical from early age.

Melody is strong, song is almost dramatic at times, never twee - which was probably the hallmark Sugarfrost quality, come to think of it. All three of their Sugarfrost releases sold out very quickly. Now Kazumi has given up music entirely. But Jun had been a solo artist with a number of releases in Japan, later a member of The Music Lovers in San Fransisco, where she still resides.
