LOSALIOS: The World Map is Stained with Blood (2XLP)
To coincide with the release of LOSALIOS’ first new album in 21 years, Taiyokei no Toritachi, the group's landmark 1999 debut album Sekaichizuwa Chino Ato is being issued on analog vinyl for the very first time as a deluxe 2LP set. Tracing its roots back 30 years, the album emerged from LOVE SHOP LOSALIOS, the solo project launched in 1996 by Tatsuya Nakamura during his time with BLANKEY JET CITY, through which he created every sound himself. Expanding beyond its original concept, the project evolved into LOSALIOS, resulting in this album that also features improvised sessions with special guests including longtime collaborators Kenichi Asai and Toshiyuki Terui, former SOFT BALLET member Ken Morioka, and members of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. The result is a dynamic and genre-defying work that blends jazz-infused grooves, punk energy, thrilling improvisation, and avant-garde experimentation, showcasing the distinctive sound world that would become a hallmark of LOSALIOS.
