This Tokyo-based ‘Contemporary Exotic Orchestra’ is hard to pin down stylistically - somewhere between a warm daydream, their lovely understated guitar lines, catchy vocal harmonies and a backbeat that shapeshifts into quirky time signatures, they pull from a variety of good things, which makes them real fun. Upbeat with a sprinkling of reggae, catch this city pop band on their two-stop tour through China.
