Album Notes & Community Reviews

Jun Togawa's debut solo album is a surreal, deeply eccentric masterwork of Japanese art-pop and new wave. Blending heavily synthesized zolo rhythms with operatic, unpredictable vocal performances, the record explores disturbing themes of menstruation and insect life with dark, playful brilliance.
