BLUEVALLEY is a bassless lo-fi pop group based in Nagoya, led by singer-songwriter Kikumi Minatani. Here finally comes their first full-length original album! This follows the release of three independently-made 7" singles (some available at Jet Set), and more recently a split 7" (with Childish Tones feat. Beni Usakura) and participation to LP compilation "Nu Psychic Teen Sounds!". The album comes on the same label as these last two, BOOTREC/KiliKiliVilla).
The album is out now on CD and digitally. A cassette edition will also be released for Cassette Store Day 2022 on October 15 (details below).
BLUEVALLEY will tour several cities for the release, starting in Nagoya on October 1st at Bar Ripple, then going to Kyoto and Osaka on October 22 and 23 respectively, followed by a show in Tokyo at Shimokitazawa Basement Bar on November 6. There's also a show planned in Fukuoka on December 3.
