Album Notes & Community Reviews

Known primarily for his highly abrasive work in the Japanese industrial/noise outfit Grim, Jun Konagaya pivots entirely into incredibly delicate, haunting acoustic music for this solo release. The album employs primitive toy instruments, sparse acoustic guitar, and fragile pump organs to frame his hushed, deeply melancholic vocal delivery. It functions as a strangely beautiful, lo-fi intersection of outsider folk and anachronistic toy-pop.
