New Shugo Tokumaru Record!

stlstjpg.jpgThe new Shugo Tokumaru album L.S.T. will be released in Japan on August 25th! I've heard a sneak peak of the album, and just between you and me, it's amazing. Much more complicated and lysergic than Night Piece, but still not pretentious, L.S.T. further proves Tokumaru's savior-level genius.

Truly looking forward to this one...

At first I read:

Oh good, I thought. I have nothing against pretentious artists, you see. Either way, Shugo is fantastic.

Looking forward to that.

Can't say it's not something of a surprise though, I saw him live a coupla weeks ago and it was all the old Night Piece stuff... still great of course

Go Shugo Go!

My CD will be shortly available with Shugo's at the mlshop

mlshop.pliink.com

If you are in a rush, there are lots of online stores with my CD in stock. Just search "marxy" and "kyoshu nostalgia"

Not for my record, unfortunately. It's hard to explain why that is... but Japanese distribution is its own crazy beast.

Shugo's old record is in HMV or Tower, in theory, but I'm not sure how much it still is sitting on shelves. The new one should be easy to get when it comes out in August.

Finally found Shugo's CD at Warzawa yesterday, listening to that and the new one from Anthony Rochester. Perfect for a Saturday afternoon after watching Archer Prewitt and the Cocktails last night.

Anyone know of anywhere I can hear any of this music without pirating or buying it? (ie samples or anything?)

what label is this album on?

Posted by: josh at September 19, 2005 12:53 PM

It's on "compare notes" (map) in Japan. US label still undecided.
