Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Are they the world’s first/only/best space-surf band? Sounding something like the Ventures jamming with Hawkwind (now there’s an afterparty…..) or the Cramps vs Joe Meek; Japanese Television will ride into your hearts on waves of reverb-drenched organ, cosmic guitar twangs and sci-fi visions. FFO: Man or Astro-man, Neu!, Night Beats, Death Valley Girls, Al Lover."
