Kobe-based SSW / light-music researcher UG Noodle drops a new album, "Beautiful Dreamers," on RCSLUM!

Handling everything himself from songwriting to performance, recording and mixing, he has released "The Indian Waltz" and "Polyphemos" since 2013. More recently he wrote, sang and arranged tofubeats' "Koi to Missile feat. UG Noodle" — an artist well worth watching. His knack for giving Japanese '70s/'80s folk rock and pop a contemporary finish through a psych-garage sonic lens — something you can also glimpse in sumahama?, the SSW/multi-instrumentalist collective he belongs to — is fully intact here. It's packed with touches that will make listeners of Japanese rock like Happy End, Eiichi Ohtaki and GREAT3, as well as fans of the Beach Boys, the Beatles, sweet soul oldies and Chicano soul, sit up and take notice. His solo guitar-and-vocal performances, informed by bossa nova, filin and bolero, are lovely too, so catch him live if you get the chance. A light-music researcher indeed.
