Shizuka (2)

Shizuka were the great lost-in-action group of the Tokyo underground psych scene during the early to mid-'90s. Led by doll-maker [a=Shizuka (3)], and with ex-[a=Fushitsusha] alumni [a=Maki Miura] and [a=Jun Kosugi] on hand, they created some of the most fragile and intense acid-rock of their time, but remained largely undocumented and under appreciated. Shizuka's uncanny vocals and tremulous sense of timing washed like brown sugar over a fluid nebulae of guitar and drum nirvana, peaking and churning in perfect, weightless filigrees of light, cosmic cold and invisible motion.
