Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released via the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal imprint, the Japanese trio's second international LP is an incredibly inventive collage of styles. The project gleefully splices the driving motorik beats of 70s krautrock with quirky Shibuya-kei pop sensibilities, heavily utilizing Moog synthesizers and sampler technology.
