The debut album from this band from Japan.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, glockenspiel, bass, guitars, melodica, synths, sampler, tape and voice.
This band's 2022 album, their latest album, came as a surprise to me and it has got worldwide praise. Hence I got it and then I discovered their debut album too. I could not find their second and third album though....
But two albums is not bad and a review of their 2022 album comes up later this early spring.
The band plays Canterbury scene prog in the vein of Caravan. That is their musical platform.
They also combines that genre with some atonal Japanese avant-garde pop in the beginning of this forty minutes long album and some improvised jazz at the end of the album.
There is not much vocals here at all. The vocals are thin and the typical Japanese vocals.
The music is pastoral in the beginning and pretty hard at the end.
This band is very talented and masters of their instruments. Their music was not fully developed. But this album got tonnes of charm and the final ten minutes is really powerful and jazzy.
This is a good debut album and one to check out.
