Japanese "mutant pop" and "shadow sounds" collected in new Light in the Attic compilation
Somewhere Between: Mutant Pop, Electronic Minimalism & Shadow Sounds of Japan 1980–1988, on 2xLP this January. The tracks were created “during Japan’s soaring bubble economy of the 1980s, an era in which aesthetic visions and consumerism merged,” shares LITA. “Music echoed the nation’s prosperity and with financial abundance, came the luxury to dream.” “Thanks to the idyllic economic climate and innovations in domestically manufactured music gear, creators on the edges were empowered to focus on satisfying their artistic visions in the open headspace of home studios.”
