Tsuki No Wa Moon Beams Mesh-Key Japan/USA, 2003/2025 2LP
My most anticipated reissue of the season. This is Tuski No Wa’s most polished and fully realized effort, their 3rd & last. Still, they have such a loose & limber sound—both rustic & urbane, with woody bass & smoky sax propelling the more standard folk rock instrumentation. Vocalist Fuminosuke is a FORCE, shifting between restraint & an abandon that annihilates all language barriers. Impassioned music, truly special. BIG TIP!
