Their new album “The Buffet”, released in June, has been met with high praise from all quarters, and the album’s release tour has been sold out in succession. The final track on the album, “Angle”, which highlights the genius lyrics of frontman Tamaki Shuhei, has now been released on 10-inch.
On the B-side, there is a remix of the song “Kamukamo Shikamoni Domokamo!” by imai (group_inou)! The artwork is by photographer Shun Omiyama.

Tamaki Shuhei and Kato Seiju, both from Hachijojima, Tokyo, met Takeda Ayako and Yanagisawa Yutaka at university.
As a result, even though they are in the pop realm, they produce a free sound that is not bound by genre or domestic or international boundaries, with a sound that hints at a diverse background, melody lines that defy expectations, and lyrics that are full of wordplay.
They were voted to perform on the main stage at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL ’16 “ROOKIE A GO-GO” the following year, and have since appeared at numerous festivals around Japan, garnering attention as a next-generation band.
