Originally starting out as a reggae/dub band, they gradually developed a sound blending influences from a wide range of genres including jazz, soul, psych-pop, new age and exotica. Their psychedelic, dreamy sound, built on groove and a blissed-out feel, is striking and downright addictive. Alongside appearances at domestic festivals such as Fuji Rock, they've been rapidly widening their reach in recent years with four shows across three Canadian cities, and this year's new EP marks their first overseas release, via 〈PPU〉. Highly recommended. (Original Japanese text by AYAM)
