the pillows - Ladybird girl

Ladybird girl offers up more of what the pillows are known for. This single is a superb example of what good music is. Addictive rhythms and lyrics make the songs interesting without the use of the complex effects and synthesized sounds that many bands incorporate into their music. This is pure and simple rock music, no strings attached.

The upbeat rhythms of Ladybird girl should be enough to get any head bobbing and any foot tapping. It’s a refreshing song with a simplistic rock sound. Sawao’s smoothly sung lyrics float along on whimsically plucked guitar chords, giving off a sort of nostalgic air. The chorus, in particular, will have listeners singing along to this track, one that will likely stay in mind long after its short duration.

And Hello! has a more laid back feel about it. Tapping drum beats and distinct guitar work gently draw the listener through this feel good number, with effortless vocals lending it a cool, breezy vibe. A break for a fantastic guitar solo adds depth to this catchy track.
