Morr Music and Alien Transistor have again joined forces to release The Fruit Of Errata, a compilation introducing the world to the intimate DIY pop of yumbo.
Led by songwriter, pianist, and occasional vocalist Koji Shibuya, the Japanese band has released four albums since forming in 1998. This compilation draws from those albums, and some ancillary releases. Shibuya's songwriting, and the group's limber, sensitive playing, places them squarely within a tradition of home-spun but ambitious Japanese pop, with Maher Shalal Hash Baz and Tenniscoats, Double LP version comes in gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves; includes three bonus tracks; 28-page booklet; includes download code; edition of 500.
