Gentlemen Take Polaroids

by Japan

Gentlemen Take Polaroids cover art

Japan reached full creative maturity on this incredibly lush, remarkably sophisticated triumph of atmospheric art-pop. Driven by Mick Karn's pioneering fretless bass work and Richard Barbieri's intricate synthesizers, 'Gentlemen Take Polaroids' is a deeply nocturnal, beautifully sombre, and highly rhythmic cinematic masterpiece of the New Romantic era.
