Suis La Lune - Heir(LP)

Chronologically, the original release was in 2008, two years after the first "Quiet, Pull The Strings!", and I think Suis La Lune was already fully supported by Japanese listeners at this time. Originally released in 10inch format, the EP has been re-pressed many times since then, and it was probably a good thing that it was an easy listening size of 4 tracks, as it concentrates the band's appeal more tightly than their rough and tumble first album (the first album is of course great in its roughness). I think it might be because the band resonated more with Japanese and Southeast Asian senses of passion than with the physicality of American muscles.

At the time, there were still very few extreme music bands that put the "yang" in their music, as is now the case with "Epic of Tomorrow" and "envy," and their sound was more like a delicate, fleeting glimmer of light and hope than yang. I also like the title of the song, which is full of a kitchen sink feeling. I like the later songs now, but at that time I thought the first one and this EP were the supreme ones.
