Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Do you remember POiSON GiRL FRiEND (Facebook page)? Solo unit of nOrikO, its name took inspiration from Momus who later produced two of her albums ("Shyness" and "Mr. Polyglot Remix"). 20 years have passed since "Love Me" (1994) and now she's back with a brand new album featuring many collaborations with various producers. She still embraces dance and electro sounds with roots from the 90's, which feel nostalgic but also very fresh. Half of the tracks are original, while the rest are covers of Erasure, The Doors, Serge Gainsbourg and New Order.

You can hear original song "rien à faire" in full on this SoundCloud clip of a radio show by DJ Osshy. This song is produced by Wono Satoru. Also check out the sampler clip below.

Upcoming events include "club hyper-réarythme" on July 17, and "Gainsbourg Night" on July 21.
