Long Play I

The debut full-length album from Japanese group Butter Sugar Toast, 'Long Play I' is a nine-track, self-recorded work built on a committed DIY ethos. Main songwriter Takujiro Sadae establishes a sound distinctly removed from the mainstream, drawing clear influence from the lineage of 90s post-hardcore and alternative rock including bands like Hoover and Shotmaker. Following their sold-out 2022 EP, the album serves as an uncompromising and sincere effort to interpret these foundational sounds within a contemporary context rather than as simple nostalgic revivalism.
