Album Notes & Community Reviews

The former Yura Yura Teikoku frontman delivers an incredibly surreal, wonderfully bizarre concept album focusing on the last remnants of humanity dancing at an apocalyptic resort. 'Let's Dance Raw ナマで踊ろう' pairs highly infectious, Hawaiian-inspired lap steel guitars and lounge music rhythms with deeply cynical, strangely poetic vocal deliveries. The album is a remarkably warm, intensely psychedelic, and brilliantly mellow tropical pop record.
