Shinbangumi

Shinbangumi cover art

Cameron Lew frames his vibrant, meticulously produced synth-funk around a conceptual narrative involving a fired music supervisor navigating the 1980s Japanese television industry. The impeccably tight, analog-sounding arrangements offer a loving, highly stylized homage to classic City Pop and retro-futuristic media aesthetics.
