While searching around for music that might be categorized as "8-bit jazz" I consistently came across references to the group YMCK, a Japanese Chiptune band. Their work is wonderfully original, retains the general bright feeling of vintage 8-bit music, and is surprisingly refreshing amid the wide variety of music being released in the Chiptune world. Plus, who references The Swingle Singers anymore -- does anyone even know who they were? Enjoy a couple of videos below from 8-bit jazz powerhouse YMCK.Saturday, April 25, 2009
