Flue flings us new mini-album!

Three-member high energy rock band and Indie Corner alum flue announced via Twitter that they will be dropping a brand new mini-album titled 不覚にもフルー (Fukaku ni mo flue) June 9. This will be the latest release by the group since their album  リテラシー良い暮らし (Literacy Yoi Kurashi) back last October. Fukaku ni mo flue will drop with seven tracks and, in usual hyperactive flue fashion, will have a runtime of ten minutes. 

Fukaku ni mo flue isn’t the only major news announced by the band; flue will also release their first two albums No. 13 and Literacy Yoi Kurashi to music streaming platforms. Also, to commemorate the release of the mini-album, flue will hold a release party in the famed Shimokitazawa mona records in Tokyo June 9. 

Unfortunately there are no pre-order links as of now, but if this is anything like the releases of flue’s previous albums it should also be available on all music streaming platforms. In the meantime check out the track listing for Fukaku ni mo flue below!

Indie Corner Week 13: flue

flue is a three-member pop rock band that formed in 2014. What makes them stand out from other bands is the specific genre they classify their music as, which is “short pop-rock-tune”. All of their songs are about a min or two long, but their goal is to emotionally impact their listeners in some way through such short tracks. Their song “Secret ne Sararetto” is a great example of this method, as it gives off that “short but sweet” first impression that can hook listeners to the band, which in turn keeps the listener wanting more.

flue originally had a male bassist up until last year when he was replaced with a female bassist nicknamed Martin Kameyama. flue has one single ep, ”仕組まれたシクマンって言いたくなるよね” (“Shikumareta Sick man tte Iitakunaruyone”), and one album, No. 13, both featuring the male bassist. The new bassist can be heard on their recent mini-album flue, released this past April.
