Go to the LSD March website  LSD March - Constellation of Tragedy [Important Records - 2007]

Japans LSD March sixth album starts off fairly bare, stripped down & emotional with electric guitar folkly wanderings and tinkling musical box along with sad Japanese male singing, but over the five tracks the instrumental layers build up & the songs become stranger, more quirky.

I guess it’s best to call this a mini album as it only last just over 27 minutes, but it’s just sweet & odd enough at that length I feel if they’d added any more it would have somehow undermined the albums impact and vibe. The best way to describe the project is a mix of strutting Velvet Underground guitar riffs, folk, sentimental guitar pop and weird edges- like bizarre spacey thermin drifts, bells & harmonica. With only track four Moeru Pyramid really been the odd man out here with it’s more doomy 70’s rock riff fest feel.

A touching yet strange album, feeling like a seemly ordinary sweet or candy that’s made by a Japanese version of Willy Wonka & the more you suck it the more unusual flavours are released.
