"SWEET SPOT" (domestic press)
FINALLY AVAILABLE OUTSIDE JAPAN! The exclusive Mesh-Key version of YYT's seventh album and first for Sony Japan. Beautiful digipak, different colors from the Japanese CD. Also contains different mix of "Hate Ningen Wa?"
James McNew, YO LA TENGO:
My album of the year when it was released in Japan. Now it can be my record of the year again on a technicality! But i don't need a technicality - it's an amazing, deep album by a band that has everything to offer. This was the first Yura Yura Teikoku record I ever heard, and it proved to be a potent gateway drug. Okay America, time to step up and reissue the other 30+ YYT releases...
Saheer Umar, TOKION:
In a just world, these guys would be as big as U2, or at the very least Velvet Revolver. Yet, due to language barriers, they remain mainly a Japanese phenomenon. Big tune after big tune gets churned through the psyched out-pop sensilbilities of one of the greatest bands on earth. Clear some space in your record collection for these guys. We promise you nothing but pleasant rewards.
