ANALOG 2ND CAMERA - A PERFECT DAY FOR BANANAFISH E.P. TAPE (NO LABEL [A2CM-1004], 1996) [JP]

Analog 2nd Camera - A Perfect Day For Bananafish E.P. TAPE

(No Label, [A2CM-1004], 1996) [JP]

This band, Analog 2nd Camera, came out of nowhere for me. I saw that they had a song on a Japanese compilation I had heard and I was searching anything more of them to hear and came across this cassette tape someone had shared. Lucky for me, and lucky for you too! This is fantastic Japanese indie pop that is just so endearing the more and more I listen to these four songs. A perfect EP. I love the Lupin intro, as well. I only hope to find more from the band.
