Comments: Shugo Tokumaru hits again after his fascinating 2008 U.S. debut Exit. I couldn't put my finger on it before, but Mojo magazine made me realize what his music reminded me of: Michel Gondry's movie soundtracks. A combination of mystery (I mean, unless you speak Japanese, you don't really know what's going on in his lyrics), magic and a wonderful mix of instruments, topped with the listener's own child-like wonder in front of what he hears--a summary that doesn't really do justice to the Shugo Tokumaru experience. So give him a listen. Start with "Lahaha", "Linne" and "Laminate".
