Excused Absence

Last night, TMC skipped out on our weekly radio show for good reason. TMC+1 ventured to the seedy GW Lisner Auditorium to see The Magnetic Fields perform. I will review the concert in the next few days but in the mean time, please check out opener Shugo Tokumaru.

Shugo Tokumaru is a Tokyo-based singer/songwriter with the voice of Jónsi Birgisson (Sigur Rós) and the guitar skills of a less percussive Kaki King. Check out Tokumaru's whimsical folk pop for yourself with the first track from his latest album Exits.



EDIT: When Shugo Tokumaru performed this song, I thought it was called "Brown Shoe." That said, it would be great if either Wes Andersen or Sofia Coppola could make a new movie just so we could enjoy charming quirky moments set to this music. - Kate
