With no concentrated PR campaign or the like, \u003cem\u003eCrystallize\u003c\/em\u003e has developed a considerable following, often considered to have jumpstarted the shoegaze revival of the early 2010s. There is little information about the artist known as \u003cstrong\u003eTokyo Shoegazer\u003c\/strong\u003e, but they are known to have performed as part of many popular Japanese groups such as \u003cstrong\u003ePresence of Soul\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eacid android\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e101A\u003c\/strong\u003e, and\u003cstrong\u003e Plastic Tree\u003c\/strong\u003e. “299 Addiction” starts us off at max volume, full-band thrash cut through with guitars that alternately sound like a cool \u003cstrong\u003eDick Dale\u003c\/strong\u003e tune or a spooky haunted house theremin. “Just Alright” begins with relatively unadored alt-rock chords, buried vocals and propulsive drumrolls giving this track a bit of extra adrenaline. “Bright” is appropriately titled, a bit of overdriven drama that reaches for the hypnogogic heights of \u003cem\u003eLoveless\u003c\/em\u003e. The jacket features new artwork by \u003cstrong\u003eChloe Manson\u003c\/strong\u003e, also includes an obi strip with the original artwork. This record was remastered especially for vinyl, and this is the first time it is available on this format. Limited to an edition of 400 copies on clear blue colored vinyl, so you’d better move quick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eindie exclusive clear blue colored vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes obi strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition of 400 copies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Graveface Records 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by NEW YORK SKYGAZER 09\/2019\u003c\/h6\u003e.","brand":"Tokyo Shoegazer","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":30250327343194,"sku":"lp-10857","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/tokyoshoegazer-crystallize-blu.jpg?v=1759277733","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/tokyo-shoegazer-crystallize-indie-exclusive-colored-vinyl-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
