JAPANCAKES DOWN THE ELEMENTS Kindercore Four tracks from Japancakes, the humorously-titled yet deadly serious instrumental band from Athens. Transforming a gloriously majestic pedal steel sound into a curiously introspective electronic counterpart is a difficult task, but Japancakes is up to the task ...

December 1999 :: Music J-K :: Japancakes (Ian Koss)
Japancakes If I Could See Dallas Kindercore Whimsical as the name may be, Japancakes manages to pack a mighty wallop. Not since Scenic (and Giant Sand's grittier moments) have I heard such sprawling compositions, beautifully broad layers of drums, bass, and guitar, guitar, and more guitar. While Scenic ...

Belmondo: Bliss Out Vol. 19 (Darla). Review by Matt Cibula.
JAPANCAKES BELMONDO: BLISS OUT VOL. 19 Darla This ain't gonna be everyone's cup of tea, now. Japancakes build their instrumentals in the studio by repeating basic melodies over and over; any variations are due to the haiku-like improvisational skill and attention span of their six musicians. Their ...

... of a gorilla to break the ice even more. For those who let down their indie guard, it was all smiles and dancing. Andrew Chadwick Tullycraft Japancakes closed out the night. They're lulling in a nice, minimalistic way, with lap steel guitar finding a nice groove and exploring it, but I just couldn ...

Shoot in the Dark (Arms Reach). Review by Aaron Shaul.
DAKOTA/DAKOTA SHOOT IN THE DARK Arms Reach There are moments in the never-ending math equation of Dakota/Dakota's Shoot in the Dark where all three instruments (guitar, bass and drums) slip completely out of sync, out of step with one another. It's almost like the sheer scope of what they are trying ...

Azure Ray (Warm). Review by Daniel Gill.
AZURE RAY AZURE RAY Warm Azure Ray is a female duo from Athens, GA whose members also spend time in Japancakes and Little Red Rocket. For the record, Azure Ray bears little to no resemblance to either of those bands. The closest reference points would have to be K Records' Mirah -- who can be both overly ...

... entries in jazz, lush girly pop, the traditional twang associated with Athens, degenerate country, full-on rockers, and unclassifiables (like Japancakes' space instrumentals). Just as important as the variety is the high level of quality and originality present in each and every one of these tracks ...

Treat Me to Some Life (File 13). Review by Randall Stephens.
... are a joy to listen to, and then there are all those other groups that are fun to talk about, but a drag to listen to. Well, Lenola, somewhat like Japancakes, is trying to bridge the gap. On Treat Me to Some Life, there are actually melodies that are recognizable as pop. No doubt, some of the numbers ...

May 1998 :: Music Sm-T :: Sounds to Soothe a Nervous Robot (-S.D. Fitzpatrick)
... the Album (?), The Noisettes (who have the ambience that sounds right!), The Black Swan Network (ultra weird), and a very powerful final word from Japancakes (with a MIGHTY piece called "Alla Rakha"). My writing doesn't begin to describe the bizarre lands-within-the-mind that are found on this disc ...
