Lightbulbs is Fujiya & Miyagi’s sophomore release following on the heels of their successful debut Transparent Things. After two US tours with Canadian dates, they have built a strong fanbase nationwide, receiving critical acclaim from NME, Pitchfork and Spin amongst many. Now adding Lee Adams to the line up to provide live drums, Fujiya & Miyagi deliver a perfectly complete album - imagine 11 classic ideas clicking on above your head!Using vintage synths to punctuate their beautifully observed anecdotes on romantic triumphs and disasters, heroes and villains and the world at large, their rhythms palpitate to produce modern symphonies like no-one else. Light Bulbs is a journey littered with fragmented images, anecdotes from the sublime to the ridiculous and blurry stories that you feel you shouldn’t have overheard. Each track is an aural contamination set to itch your inner ear in every waking moment. «I’ll never be Big Maybelle», says David Best of his unique singing style. True, but as a stylist fronting a band inspired by their evolution, plundering the past but set in the future, Fujiya & Miyagi’s Lightbulbs is truly contagious music and carves a niche all of its own.
