Two great current Japanese power pop bands each perform one song on this essential new split from Secret Mission. It’s the second release for Sensitive Lips and the first for Weekend Fan! The attractive risograph packaging pays homage to the classic Good Vibrations sleeves from Belfast, with the inside contents living up to the look. There aren’t many copies of these records available, particularly for stateside fans. It’s certainly not a title to sleep on, as it’ll be a pricey collectible in the very near future. –Art Ettinger (Secret Mission, secretmissionrecords.com)
