Flashlights – A Bit Hidden But Not For Long – The UMS Artist
Talking with the duo that makes up Flashlights – Ethan Converse and Sam Martin – we were huddled down at the Hi-Dive&#;s “green room” chatting about this freshman outfit in Denver before their opening gig for ManCub, another duo who is breaking ground in Denver’s expanding electro pop and dance playground.
Since the two met over a year and a half ago, Sam and Ethan have continued to plug away, figuratively and literally, on making a style of ear candy that evokes the unconscious desire to move the body and mind in various configurations.
After sending a number of demos into the atmosphere, Flashlights’ sound caught the attention of the Binary Entertainment label in Los Angeles via a post on Twitter. Co-founder Josh Legg liked what the dance act had to offer and an email later, things were underway to add Flashlights to Binary’s roster.
“Thing is,” Ethan explains, “I got our record deal on the table on the same day that I was fired from my job for doing too many ‘music, band things’ at work.”
The duo signed the contract after meeting both Josh and Kyle Petersen at the band’s first SXSW earlier this year,

Biography
Early years ()
Bucchino, Hughes, and Thomson formed a band, then simply called "Flashlight", in out of boredom and frustration and quickly moved from the small college town of Guelph to the much larger Toronto, Ontario. At first, they were unable to get the attention of nightclub owners, so they devised a fictitious talent agency, called the Harry Wells Booking Agency, which would "represent" them. With

年11月に新しいシングル"New Roman"をリリースしたばかりの東京ネオ・シティ・ロッカーズ、FLASHLIGHTS。今回はそのボーカリストでありメインマンでもあるレオ・ヨコミゾ氏にインタビューを行った。
通販のレビューにも書いたが、今回も徹底的に"夜"で"ロマンチック"なFLASHLIGHTSの世界を堪能できる作品となっている。
このインタビューではそんな彼らの世界を形作るレオ氏の音楽や詞のバックグラウンド、他のメンバーについて、また、彼らの活動を追う上で必ず登場する"NEO CITY"について話していただいた。
これを読んでくれた人達の一人でもFLASHLIGHTSやNEO CITY、またはインタビュー後半に登場するレオ・ヨコミゾ氏お薦め居酒屋に興味を持っていただければと思う。
そして願わくば、彼らの暮らす"NEO CITY"に一歩足を踏み入れていただければと思いますm(_ _)m
シュウ：ニューシングル"New Roman"の発売おめでとうございます。さっそく聴かせてもらっていますが、今回もレオさん節炸裂な２曲が最高でした。
今回のリリースに至る経緯とかあれば教えてもらえますか？ひろしくん(FLASHLIGHTSのギタリスト)からは「突然レコーディングが始まった」とか聞いてますけど。
レオ：ありがとうございます！コロナ禍で土日のライブがなくなったので曲作ろうと思ってすぐ出来たのが”New Roman”でその少し前に出来てた”Starlight”とシングルになるなと思って。あとちょうどインスタで貴子さん（杉山貴子さん：FLASHLIGHTSの今回のシングルのカヴァーイラストを手がけた東京在住のイラストレーター）のイラストを見て頭の中でジャケットまで出来てスタジオ入って固める、そしてレコーディングという感じです。なので自分的には突然ではなかったです。動きを止めてはいけないという想いはあったかもですね。
シュウ：それは共感ですね。コロナ禍も音楽を作る機会としては悪くなかったのかも。
これは個人的な感想なのですが、前回の２ndアルバムの"Highway"を聴いたとき「何かいつもと違うぞ」と思いました。今回の"Starlight"もよく似た印象です。曲を書くときは変化を持たせるとか意識されたりしてます？
レオ：自分は今の状況でもその前でも時間的な事はちがっても日常的に曲をたくさん作っていて"Highway"も"Starlight"も元々自分の中には要素としてあって、その中からFLASHLIGHTSにただ合うと思うものを選んでるだけですね。
今これが必要とかバランスは選ぶ時に自然と考えてるかもですが。

Flashlights Shadows and Lights LP
Secret Mission continues to make vinyl wrongs right by issuing the debut by Tokyo’s FLASHLIGHTS on LP. Originally released on CD only by Fifi (TEENGENERATE and FIRESTARTER) on his Stay Free imprint, this album has been a dark horse favorite of mine for a couple years now. Though boasting members of ROCK-A-CHERRY and the impossibly fantastic KNOCKS, FLASHLIGHTS’ approach is quite obviously centered on ’80s guitar pop, most akin to bands RAZORCUTS, the FLATMATES or even the FEELIES. I’ve opened up a lot more to this stuff in recent years, so I’m very much on board here. As is customary with so many Japanese acts, there’s a tastefulness to their entire operation that captuers part of the spark and spirit of their influences in a genuine way. Great.
