Luby Sparks「Broken Headphones」2024.12.20 Release
‘Broken Headphones’ is Luby Sparks’ new single following ‘Overrated!’ and ‘Summer Days’.
The combination of drop C tuned bass, layers of fuzzy guitars, and heavy drums, that resemble nu-metal and heavy shoegaze bands like Deftones and Nothing. It has the mood of the late 2000s when people still using wired headphones.
Luby Sparks、10月「Overrated!」、11月「Summer Days」に続くニューリリース。
ドロップCにチューニングしたベース、ヘヴィなドラム、歪んだギターが特徴のニューメタル的ヘヴィネスの要素を取り入れたヘヴィ・シューゲイズ。
ヘッドフォンを使っていた2000年代後半をイメージした楽曲。

Luby Sparks is a Japanese alternative rock band formed in 2016. The band’s current lineup is Natsuki (bass, vocals), Erika (vocals), Tamio (guitar), Sunao (guitar), and Shin (drums). The band’s self-titled debut album, Luby Sparks (2018), was recorded in London with Max Bloom (Yuck/Cajun Dance Party) as a co-producer. In 2019, they released a single titled “Somewhere,” which was remixed by Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins). In May 2022, Luby Sparks released their second album, Search + Destroy, which is produced by Andy Savours, a Mercury Prize-shortlisted producer and engineer in London, who is known for working with My Bloody Valentine, Black Country, New Road, and Rina Sawayama. The album launch show at WWW X in Shibuya held in June was successfully sold out. In October, they performed in Bangkok, Thailand. In March 2023, Luby Sparks were actively expanding overseas with their first headline US tour around seven cities (New York, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, and Los Angeles). In September of the same year, they were touring in seven cities in China, including a show at Strawberry Music Festival 2023, followed by a performance in Korea, and the worldwide festival Joyland Festival 2023 in Indonesia. The latest EP Song for The Daydreamers included four songs was released in May, 2024.
