Fujiya & Miyagi - "Dishwasher"
Brighton smooth talkers Fujiya & Miyagi's new album Lightbulbs is forthcoming 9/16 on Deaf Dumb & Blind in the States. (It follows 2006's "Ankle Injuries"-birthing Transparent Things.) In advance of the release, Lightbulbs standout "Dishwasher" premieres in this week's 'Gum Drop. F&M's David Best, aka Miyagi, answered our questions about the track.
"Dishwasher" feels like part come-on/part yuppie/bourgeois critique. Can you explain the inspiration for the storyline? The intention?
It's not really an attack on a consumer society, more an observation. Maybe it's also a comment on the death of ambition or just getting older, when people stop thinking about sex and think more about how much storage facilities they have. Because everybody buys their furniture from IKEA and gets their food from Tesco's, people and places are beginning to look the same. We think we've got choices but we haven't really.
What will she find when she looks inside the encyclopedia?
Maybe a nice pair of curtains or a rug to tie the room together...

More On Why You Should Probably See Fleet Foxes Live Like Now »
Fleet Foxes' set at Pitchfork Music Festival genuinely moved us, but not all our commenters feel the same way about the Seattle crooners. In fact, after reading through the discussion, Fleet Fox main man Robin Pecknold felt compelled to jump in and discuss the "psychological quandry ... of this whole 'being in a band' thing."
Premature Evaluation: Conor Oberst - Conor Oberst »
Conor Oberst dropped the "Bright Eyes" moniker on his new collection and was reborn, an older, wiser version of the kid we first fell in love with, not the dude who snored through last year's Cassadaga.
