(Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Love Psychedelico, the retro-rock infused brainchild of singer Kumi and guitarist Naoki, offers "an Asian update on '90s Britpop that often eclipses the catchiness of their original sources" (SPIN). "Standing Bird," the first single from Love Psychedelico's 'This is Love Psychedelico,' quickly proves that this Japanese duo is off to a winning start. "'Standing Bird' opens the record on a biting, bluesy guitar spike that immediately reminds the listener of Dire Straits' 'Money for Nothing,'" declares NPR, who featured the song on their "Second Stage Podcast." "But the song quickly makes it its own, thriving on Kumi's gritty female vocals. Combining sweet melodies with feisty groans, the song proves infectious whether or not you understand the Japanese or the English." To hear why PRI's "The World" describes Love Psychedelico as "straddling the past and the present," listen to their recent interview at: https://www.theworld.org/?q=node/19236 Listen to songs from 'This is Love Psychedelico' at: https://www.thisislovepsychedelico.com/music/ Watch "Standing Bird:" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGLiRGq4kZg US tour dates to be announced shortly.
