Album Notes & Community Reviews

An astonishingly unique endeavor within the Japanese underground, Guernica blended meticulously sequenced synth-pop driven by Koji Ueno with the soaring, operatic vocal stylings of Jun Togawa. The aesthetic rigidly referenced 1920s Weimar cabaret and early Showa-era industrialism, resulting in a retro-futuristic masterpiece.
