Been a big fan of Zelienople for some time now, yet it never quite registered how much of that adoration was due to the incredible percussive talents of Mike Weis. Now, I'm even more hooked on his solo work. In Low Light comes off as his most subtle and fleshed out effort yet. Either way, genius is found in all that Weis touches! Lost Tribe Sound

A new Japanese psych trio featuring ’90s vets led by the (relatively) new Toshimitsu Akiko. The music moves with a stumbling grace, as if unfolding a folktale through flower pedals and knives. Toshimitsu sings softly with an unkempt twee-pop wonder in songs that undulate from regal singer-songwriter fare to little explosions of fuzz guitar, crashing cymbals and droning accordion. https://www.vikingschoice.org/archive/peruvian-punk-swedish-heavy-metal-japanese-psych/ Lars Gotrich
