Lost in translation, this Japanese three-piece take their name from the plough that almost broke the digital plain, the Y2K bug. And now that Norwegian imprint Smalltown Supersound has consolidated their two earlier EPs (2004’s Neji and the following year’s Tori) into one kick ass LP, we now have reason again to fear the year 2000. Poised on the interstices of surf-, kraut-, and noise-rock, if not for drummer Masako Takada’s incessantly clanging pulse, you could loose your head. Listen all the way to the end though as there’s a surprise/reward for those who make it to the finish line.
