Approved: Shugo Tokumaru (SNAP Of The Day)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 19 March 2009
Shugo Tokumaru had critics flustering over his last album, ‘Exit’, which Metacritic has tagged under ‘Universal Acclaim’, a nice enough plaudit.
Not one to diversify sound-wise, ‘Exit’ continued his foray into twinkling 60s influenced folk music, plush with wooden flutes, brushed acoustic guitars and a variety of percussive instruments.
Tracks like ‘Parachute’ have a homely warmth, being familiar yet fresh enough to still excite, and with all the chirpiness of Swedish serotonin abusers Peter, Bjorn and John, who Shugo has helpfully covered in a rather brilliant way at the ‘Little Radio’ link below.
