His 2021 debut 7-inch "1 2 3 Stella," also on PPU, made an impression with a singer-songwriter style rooted in his psych-rock band background. You can feel the line running from "Tornerai," the synth-pop cut on that record's B-side, straight into this album. Here the approach is '80s disco/boogie and Italo, but the production is remarkably clear, poppy, and thoroughly contemporary. It also has a catchiness distinct from fellow Italian modern-boogie specialists Periodica — another part of its appeal. (Original Japanese text by AYAM)
