The Pillows: My Foot
There’s some magical quality to the music of the Pillows that, regardless of time or mood, it can somehow make everything seem that little bit brighter and happier. Even when they’re dealing with issues such as lost love and regret for good times gone, their own brand of upbeat guitar pop lifts me without ever coming across as trite or insincere. How in heaven’s name do they do it?
For a series as quirky, offbeat and original as FLCL, it is fitting that the soundtrack should be every bit as, well, quirky, offbeat and original. This, the first OST in a series of three, is a compilation of incidental music for the series by Shinkichi Mitsumune and various songs by Jrock band The Pillows that were selected specially for the show.
