Japanese singer-songwriter Shugo Tokumaru dishes out an incredibly dense and quirky variety of art pop with this lead single from his new album, Toss. The album is his most collaborative effort yet and, although it was released in Japan toward the end of last year, it's getting a proper release here in the States on April 28 via Polyvinyl.

Shugo Tokumaru - "Katachi"
New TracksCommentHome recording artist Shugo Tokumaru is about to drop a new LP on Polyvinyl records on the 22nd of this month. In Focus? is the title, and "Katachi" is a cute little tune from it. It's a smile-inducing piece of pop with zany instrumental accompaniment from what sounds like a multi-tracked orchestra or toy instruments.
Though Shugo may not have a top-notch studio at his disposal, and it does show, he makes up for it with inspiring melodies and sweet sentiments. Enjoy!
