Debut album by The Japanese Girl, a hypnotic record that will surely put this band from Oporto at the forefront of Europe's psych-rock scene. The Japanese Girl is a Portuguese band formed in late December. Starting with two guitars, an organ and vintage drum machines, they immediately forged a raw and powerful sound somewhere between garage rock and psych lo-fi, while recently they have been joined by a drummer hammering through their opiated layers of reverb. Their intense, noise-filled live performances are accompanied by mysterious visual elements, and besides their own headlining shows the band has also played with Jacco Gardner, The Wand, Girls Names and as part of the Reverence Festival Party.
