Like I said, it will be a review blog, therefore it is now a review blog.
Been reviewing D.Gray for some time already, but I’ve taken off some posts because I’d not like my private life to be a part of this any longer (Then again, when was it ever private? XD)

So… AS I WAS SAYING!
😀  Today, I’m going to review the album 渦奏 from heidi..

heidi. is an indie J-Rock outifit who started out in mid 2006.
They are comprised of 4 people, with:

VO : 義彦 (Yoshihiko) 
GU: ナオ (Nao)
BA: コースケ (Kohsuke)
DR: 桐 (Kiri)

Apparently, the 4 of them were ex-members of different bands.  義彦 was previously from Sics, 桐 from kannivalism and ポロリ, and both ナオ and コースケ from カリメロ.  So, they’re actually quite seasoned performers, if you know what I mean 😛

This band has released over 3 singles, 2 mini albums and 3 omnibuses. 渦奏 (Kasou) would be their first full album released since they’ve joined together.
So nyea! I’m going to do a small review on the album :3

I love the bass in all their songs. 義彦’s voice is very refreshing, and has very good control on his voice, IMO. Practically, every song in this album is very awesome.
I really like how 義彦 sang slow in  死んだ世界, and then, suddenly goes to a more upbeat song 少年. The guitar and bass on 鐘の鳴る丘 was really funky in the start that it reminds me of Pierrot for some reason. The drums are really cool in ある日の宣告, and 義彦 sounds very frustrated in this song, for some reason XD (That’s just my opinion) チャールズ is a really long song, and it’s slow too, but I love the guitar solo here and how the singing follows later in a very dark, haunting mood. There’s nothing that can be said more about 泡沫  except that it’s really catchy and it gets in your head after a while (In other words, it’s awesome).
Of all the songs, my favorite picks in this whole album would be 泡沫 ,  ラストピース  and ….
Okay, I lied. I liked the whole album. Every one of them are my favorites.
But I’m personally attached to 泡沫 because it’s the first song I’ve heard from them (This was their first song for a PV released so prolly everyone also heard this one).
Overall, for those who like J-Rock Indie, go for heidi.
They’re a fresh sound to look out for 😀
For those unsure about heidi., you can check out their video for 泡沫
