nipponrock.net review: Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Andymori are a young band, signed to youth records, who perform urgent music that expresses a youthful sense of abandon. A stripped down three piece, Andymori consists of Sohey Oyamada on vocals and guitar, Daiki Gotou on bass and Hiroshi Fujiwara on drums.

Half of the album is frantic and urgent as if every moment must be filled with action. Singer Sohey Oyamada fits so many syllables into each phrase that he sounds like he’s afraid of being cut off. During ‘Everything Is My Guitar” Oyamada sings with a breakneck urgency – the one-long-shot, recklessly performed music video for this song is a good visual indicator of the sound. The video is very much influenced by Weezer’s video for ‘Undone’.

The other half of the album is much more melancholy. “Life is Party” evokes a sense of weariness and the band seems aware that their youth can’t go on forever. When Oyamada sings the phrase “Life is party” in this song, it sounds like a mantra to get through slow days, rather than a call to action as in “Everything is my guitar”. This sense of melancholy is reminiscent of Nada Surf, expressing a sort of resignation – but maybe rather than resignation, it’s better to call it a sense of acceptance. Like, “This is how it is and I’m going to have to deal with it anyway, so I guess I’ll make the most of it”. Even in these slower moments, there’s a sense of youthful urgency – this is not a band that naval gazes and dwells on their defeats.

Andymori is a great pop band in the same way that Phoenix is a great pop band. Their songs are succinct and melodic, and the band uses their considerable musical sense to write simple, memorable songs. Like Phoenix, however, the songs have a considerable amount of depth under the surface – ensuring that the album stays interesting after repeat listens. A perfect summer album – Highly recommended for fans of guitar based indie rock.
