Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the dissolution of his seminal psych-rock band Yura Yura Teikoku, the Japanese songwriter transitioned towards incredibly smooth, retro-leaning funk and yacht rock. 'How to Live With a Phantom' utilizes warm analog production to deliver playful basslines and surreal, gently idiosyncratic lyricism.
