Bleep

CRYSTAL member Ryota Miyake drops an LP of lush, cerebral pop as Sparrows. There is a surreal, almost Lynchian air to much of Berries that harks back to some of pop music’s more idiosyncratic outsiders - Ariel Pink, Stereolab, The Beta Band and Yellow Magic Orchestra are just a few similar artists. Berries shoots an air of uncanniness through styles such as hypnagogic pop, library composition and bedroom indie. It all makes for a curiously hypnotic listening experience.
