after two years of making waves with their erratic and very danceable live shows, must have been tokyo realized that it was time to hold down new material. but instead of wasting big money for studio time and perfect acoustics, they decided to go literally underground: a project studio was set up in the basement of a large and uninviting industry building. the ambience of their project-studio must have contributed to the result. the five songs recorded sound darker than anything the band has done before. looking back at a fair amount of shows played all over switzerland (including support gigs for bands like peaches, ladytron or the gossip), but still largely ignored by the national media, the guys then tried their luck in the neighborhood: four very successful shows in milan and paris later, alpinechic signed the guys. this came in handy since it was about time to put out the new record - all remaining copies of their first ep sold out after the gig in paris. releases:
