Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the breakup of Flipper's Guitar, Keigo Oyamada launched his massively influential solo moniker Cornelius with this relentlessly upbeat debut. 'The First Question Award' is a masterclass in Shibuya-kei, playfully splicing lounge, acid jazz, and bright indie pop into an eclectic, summer-ready mosaic.
