Experience the captivating sounds of the 1980s Japanese music scene with Somewhere Between: Japanese Mutant Pop & Electronic Minimalism. This purple vinyl release features an eclectic compilation that bridges two iconic genres: Japanese ambient music and the vibrant beats of city pop.
Curated from the celebrated Japan Archival Series by Light In The Attic, this album encapsulates the era’s unique aesthetic, where consumerism and artistic vision flourished. The collection highlights the experimental nature of Japan’s 1980s underground, showcasing ambient pop and liminal minimalism that resonates with a sense of dreamy nostalgia.
Discover tracks that range from the avant-garde sounds of the Mkwaju Ensemble to the innovative techno-pop of Mishio Ogawa. Each piece reflects a moment of transition in the music landscape, where indie labels began to rise amidst the dominance of major labels. Enjoy the ethereal rhythms and shadowy melodies that invite listeners to float through a hazy sonic nebula.
