http://virb.com/prettypop mews, the Tokyo based duo formed in June 2005, is Christina (Germany/Hong Kong) and Ken (Japan). Their sound is a variant of 80's synth-pop with a nostalgic vision of a past era that still lives on in an imaginary space. "Mews", the sound itself, reflects the meaning of "muse", the source of inspiration of artists, as influences are drawn from 80's electro synth-pop, striking words, images of 60's and late 70's films. Combined with lyrics shaped by urban life, we hope our music is transcendental of musical, temporal and cultural orientations. Betwixt is Sayaka (Aotearoa/NZ/Japan) and Ken Kinoshita (Japan) formed in July 2003, the sound is evocative of 80's electro synth pop but utilises contemporary technology. Betwixt is an old fashioned word meaning "between"; this embodies the conceptual base of the music, perhaps. The spaces in between are the most fertile ground creatively, whether it be space between disciplines, genres or countries. We hope you feel this upon listening to our pretty pop.]]> Virb 2.0 (@prettypop) en http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161260 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:16:52 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161260 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161259 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:15:38 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161259 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161258 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:14:24 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161258 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161257 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:13:06 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161257 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161256 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:11:52 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161256 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161255 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:10:37 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161255 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161254 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:09:22 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161254 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161253 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:08:08 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161253 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161252 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:07:01 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161252 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161251 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:05:34 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161251 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161250 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:04:05 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161250 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161249 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:02:55 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161249 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161248 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:01:35 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161248 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161247 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:00:27 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161247 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161246 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 23:59:06 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161246 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161245 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 23:57:52 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161245 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161244 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 23:56:48 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/audio/161244 http://virb.com/prettypop/photos/1409549 ]]> Thu, 30 Aug 2007 23:33:10 -0700 http://virb.com/prettypop/photos/1409549
