Salon Music - Kelly's Duck CD

(Trattoria – [MENU.143], Polystar – [PSCR-5656], 1997) [JP]

An odd place to start posting this prolific Japanese band, Salon Music, with their NINTH studio album, Kelly's Duck from 1997. The Duo dates back to the early 80s Japanese indie pop scene, with their sound evolving much over the years -- but always remaining excellent! I go between loving the 90s output more than the 80s... then right back to loving their 80s music more! I love it all, in realità.
