Man, is it coming down out there! We've got waves of thunderstorms pummeling into the GTA today which hopefully will end by this afternoon. But the good thing is that all of the precipitation has been washing out the humidity for now.
About a month ago, I posted an article on a duo called Emi & Gel（エミとゲル）who specialize in the rock n' roll of yesteryear. Their 2023 "Setsunai Anata"（せつないあなた）, a cover of Roberto "The King" Carlos' "Se Você Pensa" (If You Think) , has been given a late 1960s psychedelic rock rearrangement. Well, as I mentioned in that article, both members, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Gel Matsuishi（松石ゲル）and vocalist and drummer Emmylee（エミーリー）, had been involved with other projects in the past.
Emmylee, for example, had another group called Emmylee & The Psyzans（エミーリー&ザ・サイザンス）as recently as 2017. Although it's just been the one song that I've heard so far, "Koi no Teppodama" (Love Bullet) was the title song for their first album released in May of that year, and although the lass and her bandmates there were also focusing on music from those same 1960s, I think from "Koi no Teppodama", the music was more Beatles with fortified oomph in their instruments. Also, for the same reason, I also got some New Wave feeling a la groups such as Plastics from the late 1970s and early 1980s.
