Non-Japanese, non-duo Fujiya & Miyagi have been making heads bob and hips sway on a mainstream scale since their 2006 breakthrough LP Transparent Things. An album full of perfect Kraut-influenced nuggets, they spawned massive commercial endorsements and more mashups and remixes than you can shake a glowstick at. The new track below "Sixteen Shades Of Black And Blue" is the most recent output since their 2008 followup Lightbulbs. The new album entitled Ventriloquizzing is slated to be released in early 2011 on Full Time Hobby. This first offering is skewed a bit darker than their earlier efforts, sporting Bowie-and-Iggy nightclub slither under requisite handclaps and poker-faced vocals. It is an intriguing turn for a band who could be easily written off as ankle-deep and all too commonplace. Further evidence of their darker turn can be found on their website where creepy ventriloquist dummies are...graphically enhanced. I will spare the details as a surprise. Enjoy the new track.
