Lyric

Psychedelic rock band THE TENGOKUBATAKE JAPON has released their 5th ALBUM "RABBIT HOLE" to commemorate their 15th anniversary in the music scene.

As with their previous work, this album features Soichiro Nakamura (PEACE MUSIC) as the recording engineer, and with its 10 kaleidoscopic songs it would be no exaggeration to call it their masterpiece.

The album also features Tomoki Sanders, son of the legendary Pharaoh Sanders, who is currently based in New York and is attracting attention worldwide for his saxophone work.

Also participating is Daoud Akira, guitarist from Kikagaku Moyo, one of the most important bands in the Japanese psychedelic rock scene.

Singer-songwriter Marina Tsujimura, who performed a chorus full of clarity on THE TENGOKUBATAKE JAPON's previous album "Nuke Mairi", is participating again.

The artwork was created by Tatsuya Hirayama, who is also known for the MV illustration and jacket for THE TENGOKUBATAKE JAPON's classic song "TokYO Native".

It is a timeless labyrinth of an album that everyone living in modern times should listen to.
