Japan Indie - Fishmans Corduroy's Mood 2022 180g VG/VG+

FISHMANS - CORDUROY'S MOOD (30th Anniversary Edition)

Wrap yourself in the smoky, nocturnal warmth of vintage Japanese indie-pop with this spectacular 180g remastered vinyl pressing of Corduroy's Mood by Fishmans. Serving as the legendary Tokyo band's brilliant, self-produced 1991 mini-album, this rare gem is a breathtaking detour into jazz-tinged rocksteady, slinky bossa nova, and lush Shibuya-kei sophistication. The rich, quiet analog grooves perfectly cradle Shinji Sato's signature, androgynous vocals and Hakase-Sun's elegant keyboard arrangements. From the upbeat, horn-accented groove of "Gokigen wa Ikaga Desuka" to the sweeping, melancholic guitar lines of the generational classic "Anoko ga Nemutteru," every track radiates a deeply comforting "winter feeling". Complete with its iconic, retro-hued artwork and full lyric sheets, this pristine reissue is a mandatory, top-tier cornerstone for any serious Shibuya-kei archivist, dream-dub completionist, or Japanese pop collector.
