Album Notes & Community Reviews

A brilliantly eclectic cornerstone of the Japanese Shibuya-kei movement, masterfully produced by Yasuharu Konishi and Cornelius. The album is an endlessly upbeat, retro-futuristic collage that flawlessly blends 1960s bossa nova, pop-soul, and dense electronic sampling.
