Luby Sparks「Songs for The Daydreamers」

Songs for The Daydreamers is the EP, including four songs reinterpreting the roots of the shoegaze/indie sound.
This is one of their culminations after expanding their activities overseas.
The lead track "Stayaway" is their own authentic Shoegazer/Indie Rock. A bittersweet indie pop with the mood of the early 2000s, "Somebody Else", and "NOT Okay" is an innovation combining Shoegazer and Break Beats. The last song, "Maps" is the cover of Yeah Yeah Yeahs arranged in the style of Luby Sparks.

Luby Sparks「Songs of The Hazy Memories」

Songs of The Hazy Memories is the new EP, following the last EP Songs for The Daydreamers, released in May 2024.
The four songs on this EP deepen the elements of the previous EP Songs for The Daydreamers, returning to their origin of the shoegaze/indie sound.
In addition to the three previously released tracks, the heavy shoegaze "Broken Headphones", the alternative synth-pop "Overrated!", and the indie-pop/jangly guitar-pop sound of "Summer Days", the new EP also includes a new track "Faith". This new song is an innovation from Luby Sparks, which fuses shoegaze with a Drum'n'Bass sound featuring a danceable beat and synth bassline.
