Following my post of their debut "In A Model Room" a short while back, here's the second missive from these Japanese new wave nutters. Pretty much everything I stated for their debut applies here, though the frantic pace of the blippy and hiccupy new wave zaniness of their debut has perhaps slackened a smidge and a slightly more rock-ist posture is occasionally adopted. Essential shit if giddy new wave floats your boat and textbook "zolo" for the handful of you who know what that term implies.

And what does "zolo" imply, pray?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous-It was an attempt to define a canon of giddy herky-jerky art pop distinct from other tendencies, though the terminology never really caught on. A zolo primer can be found here:
