A sweet omen of the Shibuya-kei sound
The Merrymakers and Andy Sturmer combine pop sensibilities with psychedelia.
Known as the keyboardist for Sugar Ray, Sturmer's talent is on full display here. Catchy melodies and complex arrangements maintain a perfect balance, resulting in a new discovery every time you listen to this album. It's acclaimed as a masterpiece of Western-oriented pop music in the 1990s Japanese music scene.
