PerfumesCOSMIC EXPLORER Named 16th Best Pop Album Of 2016 By Rolling Stone!

Perfume’s “COSMIC EXPLORER” named 16th Best Pop Album of 2016 by Rolling Stone!

That was a surprise - Rolling Stone named Perfume’s “COSMIC EXPLORER” their 16th favourite Pop Album of the year! Out of the full list, “COSMIC EXPLORER” is the only non-English language album, and the only album on the list from Asia.

From the article itself, Keith Harris writes: 

“Not many groups release their best work a decade and a half into their career, but Cosmic Explorer – the year’s most expansive and infectious J-Pop album – is Perfume’s high point to date. As on their past four LPs, this trio of female singers – who go by Kashiyuka, A~chan and Nocchi – were abetted here by electronic whiz Yasutaka Nakata, who handles all writing and production duties, wiring indelible pop hooks into dramatic EDM structures. Churning gears of rhythm send melodies pinging about the mix until they’re borne upward on explosively cresting electronic waves. Cosmic Explorer may be sugary and exhilarating, but don’t overlook its ambitions – the nearly six-minute “Story” is a dance-pop mini-symphony.”
