New How-Low-Hello and ZHIEND Songs Revealed

As we're slowly getting into the groove of the currently-airing Charlotte anime, we've been hearing more and more music from the series. From the Opening and Ending to the BGM tracks, Charlotte has proven to be a trove of great music. But it doesn't end there! We still have a

The ZHIEND song sounds a bit boring, not bad, but boring. Just my opinion. The How-Low-Hello song is amazing though, been listening to it all day

My exact feelings but with band names swapped ahahahaha, however there are still key pieces to HLH that are just as good. Both are pretty excellent.

Both songs are good right now I perfer How Low Hello’s song ZHEIND seems lacking in something but I am sure they will be really good once there is a full version or a new song . Hopefully they will go all out like how they did it with Girls Dead Monster.

Dunno what you guys are talking about, both of them are equally amazing~

I agree with @Bizkitdoh you are crazy just blast it in your ears or room and feel the music!!! Its so amazing!

Agree 100%, ZHIEND has a cool feel to it, but lacks… well, something^^

And I like how GEMA already blocked the how-low-hello track in germany, activate the plugins!

It’s actually quite Sad Machine-esque. That’s a good impression. Maeda loves post-music and is very good at expressing what he finds so alluring about it- That representation there is fairly accurate. Iwasawa’s description of it is equal to his own.

YOU’RE ALL INSANE. Listen harder -w- Turn it up, close your eyes and take it in.
My favorite parts are the overall progression, the harmonies (That RIFF + the added track at 1:50 is amaaaaazinnnnnnnnnnng!!!) and Marina is so perfect. Draws out her syllables really well and in stride with the tune. All wrapped up in a brilliant shoegazey drum track. It’s like a drug, man.

There both good but I think i’m going to be more of an How Low Hello fan.

It was Instantly blocked like nearly everything with music here -_-

I just did my rare check-up of the front page, so I finally got to listen to these songs.
How-Low-Hello’s song is nice. It’s a bit of a mess, which I like. It has a nice constant beat, and the singer is good. I’m not sure if I’d like all of their songs, but this one is good. I think I’d get bored of it quickly though, like most songs of this style. It’s good for an occasional listen, and I imagine it’d be great live.
I think I’d listen to the ZHIEND song more. These types of songs always make me nostalgic, and they are really relaxing. It’s the type of song I’d listen to while staring out of a window. Everything kinda blurs, and you fade away into the nothingness. It’s still not something I’d listen to regularly… but I’d group it with the music I listen to just to blank out. Things like the Walking With Strangers album, or some of the peaceful Linkin Park songs.
I think the best way to describe the ZHIEND song is… Escapism in audio form.

I wasn’t too fond of singer days, the intro was pretty but other than that it didn’t do much for me.
Scar on Face was very pretty, the guitar was incredible and the singer had a very unique voice. That’s nice to see in a song from an anime because they typically go for the more perfect pop styled vocals and tune it heavily, her voice was very raw and real. I may buy the full song when it comes out

Really digging ZHIEND. Not quite the “post-rock” I was expecting, but musically it reminds me of early 90s shoegaze with more prominent vocals. Definitely looking forward to more. And as a serious question, is the ZHIEND song in English? I can’t really tell.

Yup it’s in Engrlish

Higher quality version of scar on face posted. I have to say it sounds alot better with a higher quality audio.

It sounds absolutely amazing

I’m officially digging ZHIEND more than How-Low-Hello now

sounds better, but still not really digging it. Still meh to be precise.

To me, HLH’s song sounds more like a somehow revamped version of Little Busters! (Not that it was bad)

ZHIEND’s, on the other hand, sounds more… Western-ish. DO LIKE! 8D
