As they celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut, Japanese rock band I Don’t Like Mondays. have released their latest EP FOCUS. This set of songs fully captures the band’s identity, which has always incorporated global trends, channeling them into their own unique style.
FOCUS shows the unique musicality that IDLMs. have developed over the past decade, culminating in an album that is not merely a retrospective of the past decade, but a statement of their intention to “focus” on the future.
A musicvideo for ‘Shadow’, taken off their EP, was also released on YouTube.
This danceable track that combines darkness and pop features lyrics written by YU, which express the "negativity" inherent in humans - portraying how we can carry loneliness and conflict, yet resist by dancing in the shadows.
