Album Notes & Community Reviews
Steeped in dark cabaret aesthetics, 'Juusankai wa gekkou 十三階は月光' showcases one of Japan's premier rock acts fully embracing theatrical gothic rock. The concept-driven recording relies heavily on atmospheric, nocturnal tension punctuated by eclectic instrumental flourishes. It stands as a pivotal stylistic pivot that reinforced their status as chameleonic veterans of the Japanese alternative landscape.
