One of our favorite artists, and part of our family almost since the beginning, came out with a new killer record. This time a new 100% instrumental album.
You can call it surf music, instrumental rock, psychedelic, you name it. It’s so original and carved with a tone of influences since the 50s to the present music, that it's almost unclassifiable.
Finally, this one comes with an Easter egg: it’s a true homage to one of the most important Japanese guitar players and composers of all time - Takeshi Terauchi. The sleeve is inspired in one of our favorite albums that he released in the 70s with The Blue Jeans - 羅生門 (Rashomon).
For us, this is one of the best albums that we have ever released in the latest years.
The LP come with a paper OBI, Japanese style, and there is an extra limited version of 100 copies in Deep Purple wax.
