High-octane, hard-to-define Japanese rock outfit Ginger May returns with a brand new, punchy banger that underlines the band’s most standout features.
Based in the Japanese capital Tokyo, Ginger May is a musical duo composed of singer Tanya and guitarist Satoshi. The band’s sound is catchy, anime-inspired rock that we find entertaining and endearing. The band’s music can also be described as carrying a slight industrial flair, courtesy of the distorted rhythm guitars, Tanya’s in-you-face vocal delivery and the heavy-hitting mix.
‘Mockster’, the duo’s latest release, comes leaning more heavily onto the rock side of the band’s music. With a litany of melodic, hard rock riffs and killer grooves, the band’s sound is dark and entices you to headbang. The tight mix effortlessly binds all the elements together in a neat package that makes consuming the song easy on the ears, but not for one second soft or easygoing. ‘Mockster’ is a very confident and loud song that is here to make a bold statement.
Ginger May’s latest drop is a solid piece of banging hard rock that boasts a particular arcadey feel that makes the song fun and charming, and with an intricate composition and a capable production job, ‘Mockster’ is a valuable addition to the canon of Ginger May’s varied releases, and the soon to be released music video will hopefully be up to the challenge of accompanying such a standout track.
