GOLDEN WEEK FOR THE POCO POCO BEAT – THE SUZAN
The Japanese have always loved American and British mod-pop, and it’s this passion that this Japanese all-girl four-piece infuse into their summery global debut album.
They’ve cleverly hooked up with Swedish producer Bjorn Yttling, who got Scandi
navian indie sweetheart Lykke Li to lend her vocals to frenetic album highlight Devils.
Throughout, it’s short, sharp, girly power pop in the vein of The Bangles or The Go-Gos, but lead vocalist Saori’s charming Japanese accent lends these slight songs an extra layer of warmth.

LGBTQIA+ media is under threat. Queer content is censored by tech conglomerates who amplify bigotry and push out AI slop — so we receive less financial support than ever.
When our community is muzzled and intolerance intensifies, we need queer media more than ever. Your donation means we can continue paying queer journalists to write queer news.
