To call Shugo's compositions congested or erratic wouldn't be inaccurate, but it would be doin' them a disservice. Though a trusty acoustic takes precedence overall, he's a restless multi-instrumentalist and ain't afraid to show it: and even at their busiest, the coloration of his aggregations eclipse the confusion. Probably helps that his whimsy-n-warmth are infectious as heck -- dynamic fantasy pop-rock briefly plunging into a backwoods hoedown, a circuitous and condensed could-be movie score called "Cheese Eye", a stockpile of instruments tumbling out of a closet, bricolage music called "Bricolage Music", sensitive tape-hissed bedroom ruminating -- a striking-tho-tangled compound of impish and intimate. "Bricolage Music"s bricolage: bells+whistles, raspberries+farts, rapid-fire extra etceteras.
