I've been listening to this record for weeks and I can't get enough. Fishmans' music is hard to come by outside of Japan, but it's worth the search!
Uchuu Nippon Setagaya, consisting of just 8 lengthy songs, carries strong Dub/Jazz overtones laced with mellow guitars, occasional swirling strings, and light electronics. Singer Shinji Sato's vocals have a soft, high-pitched, quirky quality which some may find off-putting, though one can't argue their distinctiveness. Admittedly I haven't really paid much attention to the lyrics as my Japanese isn't too great, but the music itself stands as some of the best 90s alt rock/dream pop to come out of the far east in my humble opinion. If you're looking for for music to just relax and chill out, this album is highly recommended!

One of the hardest 5s of my life and I mean that. This is what I always wanted from indie pop. The ability to be quirky but stay entirely refined and gorgeous is a balancing act that most artists completely fail at.... Fishmans succeeded with flying colors.

This album reminds of Good Gods Urge best mellow moments. The big difference is that i can understand what Perry Farrell is singing. Anyway, this is a very beautiful record to listen while walking the dogs through the woods in a summer sunset. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, airy sound. The 8+ minute tracks are especially great, with Daydream in particular being a fantastic closer. As a whole, I don't find this as convincing as Long Season due to some weaker tracks in the first half, but a great effort nonetheless. - 7.5
