  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    "A Distant Shore" 40 years later, or "North Marine Drive"
    The underground water vein that has been flowing since the post-punk era, pure sound filtered by unchanging feelings, secretly gushes out in Tokyo in 2022.
    A quiet and long journey of guitar-pop via post-punk from The Velvet Underground

    Released 20 years after their first album "subtle song" in 2001, their second album contains 12 songs in total, including 3 rearranged songs from the first album, 7 songs selected from songs created and saved since 2001, and covers of Bob Dylan and Peter Ivers. The album is a spore that flew out of the post-punk big bang, with clean-tone guitars and innocent vocals over a minimal rhythm section with only toms or snares. The darkness and warmth of "The Velvet Underground III," the loneliness and healing of "Young Marble Giants," the radicalism and serenity of "The Beat Happening," the sorrow and tenderness of "Florist. Inspired by these wandering souls, this folk-rock album combines experimentation and tenderness.
     Self-produced with DIY recording. Recorded and mixed by Sayuki Takahashi, formerly of 800cherries, the sound is intimate and reminiscent of a flickering blue flame, as if recorded live with a tube amp in a living room. We present this work in the hope that it will become a new standard for you.

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    An inventory of original CDs released in 2001 has been found.

    The band was formed in 1998 by Kato, Kawada and Kiyonari, who were all members of Peatmos, which was formerly centred around Masato Saito, the main man behind CLOVER RECORDS. The first album is the first album that finally took shape after all kinds of changes. Music born from the love for the songs of each member with strong personalities. The presence of a bizarre airiness is connected to The Velvet Underground and The Field Mice, and the simple but unique melodies born from life have a simple sense of good taste, like The Marine Girls or, in more recent bands, Ida. The recording ano neko features Bart Cummings of Australian heavyweights The Cat's Miaow on lead guitar.

    It is also worth remembering that their second album, QUITE SMALL HAPPINESS, released in 2022, was highly acclaimed overseas.
    The remastered soundtrack was newly mastered by Saito from two mixes from that time.
