Album Notes & Community Reviews
A seminal release in the Japanese underground, 'The Naked King 裸の王様' captures the band's transition from chaotic punk towards highly rhythmic, sprawling grooves. The ensemble seamlessly incorporates afrobeat horn sections and mutant disco rhythms into their dense, politically charged funk-rock framework.
