i've loved listening to yuji oniki's music as of lately. he plays truly wonderful indie pop. if you can, try listening to "transport (http://lyricstran.pitas.com)" from his new album "tvi (http://www.futurefarmer.com/shop/shop.php?id=22)" and various other tracks from the same album, and "orange (http://www.futurefarmer.com/shop/shop.php?id=33)".

Yuji Oniki is a rarity in today's musical landscape: A truly unique songwriter, arranger, and performer, his extensive musical background begins well over a decade ago, with a sound culled from influences as diverse as Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, and 80's new wave. Despite, or perhaps because of his varied past, Yuji's new CD, 'Tvi' (his second since his debut 'Orange' on Future Farmer) showcases his talents in a most accomplished and original way. Along with his Oakland, California based band, he recruited an impressive cast of friends and peers from such luminaries as Guided by Voices, and Beulah (both of which contributed to 'Orange'), as well as the much respected Japanese experimental bands Rovo, and Sakana. The logistics of recording this project would seem arduous at best. Yuji, however, unencumbered by things such as time zones and oceans, did what he had to make the record he envisioned.

Wholesome sound. Can't quite get into it, though.

Well, the combination of musical styles is interesting: Pop, Rock, Indie Rock. But I don't hear the rock as much as the pop.

I've never heard of the category of Indie Rock.
