Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Indie-pop duo Tarte Tatin have a 2nd album out now! The unit has actually changed both singers since the previous album, as the previous two quit to focus on their studies, and two new girls were selected by audition.

This new album has songs written by tofubeats (audio sample at Jet Set) and members of Shonen Knife, Un Amin and bloodthirsty butchers, as well as a cover of Jitterin' Jinn's "Present". Most lyrics are written by Nishiura Kensuke (ex-sōtaiseiriron), and guest musicians include Nosa Reina, Tanaka Takashi (Sunny Day Service) and Ōmura Tasshin (ex-Quruli).

A limited edition comes with a bonus instrumental CD of all tracks. HMV also gives away a bonus transparent jacket with this edition (while supplies last).
