There are great rock songs with meaningful lyrics that touch you and change your life. Fujiya & Miyagi don't write those kind of songs.

The Brighton-based trio write fluffy electro-disco concoctions that make you unconsciously start bobbing your head. And those kind of meaningless songs are great, too. Their new album is Transparent Things.

Songs performed: "Ankle Injuries," "Photocopy," and "Collarbone."
