The debut solo album of SAWARI ON, a Tokyo-based musician inspired by the Velvet Underground and CAN. She has performed in numerous bands while contributing to film soundtracks including the Sundance-premiering "Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter."
This album's unpredictable erratic rhythms and lo-fi guitars evoke delightful teenage angst while hinting at a paradise where mythical beasts live freely.
The album has been described by DJ MEMAI from Fallopian Disco Force as "experimental dream pop" that is full of childlike innocence.
Redolent of The Shaggs, Hope Sandoval, and Nico, the instrumentation on this album offers an uncanny aesthetic. It captures the horrors of girlhood with harps, mellotron, and satsuma biwa as well as other instruments and numerous field recordings of environmental sounds from Japan's urban spaces and nature - converging at times into ambient techno.

SAWARI ON
SAWARI ON 1st Album 『Unreliable Narrator』（信頼できない語り手） 経歴不詳／時代不詳のソロミュージシャン SAWARI ON（さわり音芸）による、14曲入りデビューアルバム。 ヘロヘロなエレキギターから、ハープ（竪琴）、メロトロン（磁気テープ再生キーボード）、FX・SE類まで、現在と古代の音楽機材がおもしろおかしく調和。 異世界とこちら側を自由奔放に行き来しながら、幻想的で切なくて、でもちょっとふざけたタイムトラベルへと、あなたを誘います。 気づいた時にはボルヘスの迷宮で、さぁ、帰宅困難に！
