J-pop parody supremo from the far more attractive 50% of Machine Gun TV. What a single yellow female can do in a flat the size of your average kitchen is astounding. Gorgeous nonsensical pop interwoven with nothing but the best quality white noise that only poverty can buy. Doing for casio driven noise pop what Milli Vanilli did for karaoke.

SOUND PROJECTOR |
"eccentric Japanese indie pop music adding more weight to the Dual Plover grand project of world domination through pop music or to be precise, high-quality, subversive, and eccentric popular music. The unbridled enthusiasm effervescing from the bubbly, young and probably very sexy players is infectious; not since Jad Fair and his brother David unleashed the triple LP set Half Gentlemen Not Beasts, have we heard such unfettered energy, the pent-up release of happy youngsters just fizzing with sheer gratitude to be finally let loose in a recording studio like tiny tots in the world's biggest sweetshop. Mascara-Sue deploy a winning formula sweet sing-song voices, cheesy organ, biscuit tin drums and whatever else they can seize with their tongs, setting it against walls of feedback and grindy noise which assume the shape of the walls of a big bouncy castle. Not an original formula to be sure, but The Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine never managed anything as natural-sounding as these larksters. Then again, you know what a sap I am for all things Japanese this yummy release comes in a bright process-red package and looks good enough to eat. But then, wait'll you see the inner-sleeve collage of a pussy cat with a wrestling mask face even an old grouch like me is lapping this up, so just think what you seventeen year-old hipsters will make of it." - Ed Pnsent.
