This retrospective compilation—one of two planned volumes, and the first time on vinyl for most of these tunes—stretches back just as far and extends to the present, proving the new-to-me Japanese dreampop outfit to be both worthy peers and able torchbearers of the melodic soft-touch shoegaze of the aforementioned. Nailing the misty roadhouse feel is one thing; what lingers is the strength of the songwriting. Be prepared to give the rest of your collection a little time off. This will be hard to keep off the turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3780532179\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kilikilivilla.bandcamp.com\/album\/signature-collection-volume-1\"\u003eSignature Collection Volume.1 by sugar plant\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFROM THE LABEL:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003eSpanning the full arc of sugar plant’s career—from their 1995 debut hiding place to their latest release one dream, one star—a carefully curated collection album is now set for release across two analog LP titles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the global acclaim of their new album released this March, this long-awaited best-of arrives on vinyl for fans worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilt around shimmering, wave-like textures that rise from stillness, the sound drifts and swells like eddies in motion, illuminated by vocals that carry a quiet, almost divine radiance.
