Love and a Machine GunFlipper’s Guitar

YOUNG, ALIVE, IN LOVE – Love and a Machine Gun – / FLIPPER’S GUITAR [Official Music Video]

Flipper’s Guitar was a band that gained popularity for its inventive sound, which distilled neo-acoustic and Shibuya-kei into indie pop.

Many of you may know them as the group that produced two renowned musicians: Cornelius and Kenji Ozawa.

Their song “Love and Machine Gun” is one of their signature tracks.

While it has a jazz flavor, the vocals aren’t particularly jazzy.

Rather, the vocal line is subdued and ennui-laden with little dynamic variation, making it far easier to sing than a lot of typical J-pop.
