Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their reign as international ambassadors of the Shibuya-kei movement, Pizzicato Five delivered another remarkably lush, highly eclectic pop record[cite: 1]. The album enthusiastically integrates rapid drum and bass rhythms and prominent electronic sequencing into their signature, retro-futuristic blend of 1960s pop soul, lounge, and baroque pop arrangements[cite: 1].
