Hadn't heard of these guys before, though I seen they have older albums out. I heard this band's new album in my local indie store and found it to be very engaging. On the outset, I thought they were going to be some Japanese techno-pop band, but they do have a more western indie pop feel to them. Their music is not unlike what passes for indie pop now, and there are traces of electronic sampling ala Notwist, some rock. Their lead singer is a very attractive Japanese girl who sings in both English and Japanese, (its said they hail from Brooklyn). Kinda like an updated version of Blondie or Berlin or Kate Bush, or a non-retarded version of Bjork. Me likey.
