Review by Ray Lane

Syrup16g’s darc: A Wild Ride Through Alternative Rock Vibes Alright, let’s talk about darc by Syrup16g. This Japanese alt-rock gem dropped in 2016 under Daizawa Records, and honestly? It’s one of those albums that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Like, you think you’re just vibin’ to some rock tunes, but then—bam!—it hits different. The album's got this raw, gritty energy that feels super authentic. No overproduced nonsense here; it’s all heart and edge. Tracks like “Find the Answer” and “Murder You Know” really stuck with me for different reasons. “Find the Answer,” man—it’s haunting. The guitar riff is simple but so damn effective, looping in your brain long after the song ends. And the vocals? They’ve got this angsty desperation to them, like they’re searching for something they can’t quite name. I dunno, maybe it’s answers (go figure). But there’s a vulnerability there that makes you stop scrolling through your phone and actually listen. Then there’s “Murder You Know.” Whoa, okay, this one punches hard. It’s got this dark, brooding vibe, like walking alone at night in an empty city. The lyrics feel cryptic, almost poetic, and the way the drums build up gives me chills every time. There’s a moment mid-song where everything drops out except for this eerie whisper, and dude—I wasn’t ready for it. Not even close. That track alone could sell the whole album. Oh, and props to whoever decided to double down on songs like “Cassis Soda & Honeymoon” and “I’ll Be There.” Repeating tracks might sound weird, but somehow it works. It’s like hearing the same story from two different perspectives. Adds depth, ya know? What’s wild is how darc balances heaviness with moments of quiet introspection. It’s not trying too hard to impress anyone, which ironically makes it more impressive. Plus, coming out of Japan’s music scene, it brings this unique flavor that doesn’t get enough attention globally. So yeah, if you’re into alternative rock with a twist, give darc a spin. Just don’t blame me if “Murder You Know” starts creeping into your dreams. Honestly, though, isn’t that what great music does? Messes with your head a little? Anyway, fun fact: I listened to this while cleaning my room once, and now I associate it with dust bunnies and existential dread. Thanks, Syrup16g.

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know? The album *darc* by Syrup16g is a hidden gem in the Japanese rock scene. Released in 2016 under Daizawa Records, it blends alternative rock with raw emotion. The track "Cassis soda & Honeymoon" feels like a bittersweet summer memory, while "Father’s Day" hits heavy with its introspective lyrics. It’s wild how they managed to pack so much depth into just one album. Some songs even repeat, but in ways that feel fresh each time. Like reliving a moment but noticing something new. Definitely worth a listen if you’re into music with soul.
