Led by Chie Mukai's endearingly dreary off key kokyu sawing and droning and offset by current Maher Shalal Hash Baz frontman Tori Kudo's lurching guitar stumble, Che-Shizu's strafed ramshackle avant orientalia was one of the first beacons from planet Weird Japan that I would encounter as a precocious teen. Genuinely singular and unprecedented work, this debut LP of theirs might just be their finest hour.
