One Star

Reviews

Triangulum (CD) March
One Star have the requisite strangeness that we have come to expect from Japanese pop acts, but theirs is a far gentler sound than many of their compatriots, combining samples and synths with indie guitars and echoing vocals to astonishingly beautiful effect on tracks like Metaphoric and E.U.R.O.P.A. Elsewhere they wheel out the sitars and dance rhythms for Wordy Bunch, and just get plain weird on The Jelly Is Set!
