Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning triumphantly from an unexpected fifteen-year recording hiatus, the iconic Japanese-American duo delivers a brilliant, surreal conceptual record about a haunted hotel. The production effortlessly bridges the gap between classic 1990s trip-hop sampling and sleek modern art-pop, proving their famously quirky, food-obsessed aesthetic remained as vibrant and inventive as ever.
