BRAINSTORY have kept dropping exquisite ballads since their album, whether via LIZETTE & QUEVIN (the male/female duo featuring frontman KEVIN) or their split single with THE SHACKS — and now a new EP has arrived! "Seasons" (sample2) is neo-soul with a refreshing feel, built on a keys-driven backing band and harmonies that sing in unison with the lead vocal. In contrast, the mellow ballad "Bye Bye" (sample1), with its simple band arrangement, comes especially recommended! A masterpiece that brings together the mellowness inherent in their jazz, psych, and soul roots — the sound they've been chasing all along! (Original Japanese text by Akie)
