Ling tosite sigure – SENSE UFO 2015

It’s one of Shigure’s early fan favorites, opening with emotionally charged noise guitar and a distorted bass riff.

The song’s structure—repeatedly building up and dropping down—is stunning, and together with the heavily effected accompaniment, it creates a profoundly uncanny sensation.

This track shines with a chorus-like, shimmering guitar sound, and just when you think it’s starting with an uncharacteristically poetic melody for Ling tosite sigure, it flows into an equally uncharacteristic J-pop-style melody.

Interestingly, though, the lyrics are very much in their signature style.
