Aimless Bop: Shunsuke Kojima’s Lost Spectacle

Shunsuke Kojima doesn’t seem like he’s in any rush to get anywhere on Lost Spectacle. Despite starting the album with a clear-cut destination (“Airplane To Tokyo”), he spends the whole time creating instrumental tracks that bounce along, sure, but come off as more interested in exploring bright textures and beats. He really starts hitting his stride on the second number, the glistening “Floating Like Waterfall.” That one hops along, adding new details as it goes until it turns into a whirring wonder for its final run through. The title implies messiness, but “Phychdelic Flow” is actually really tight, the best dance number here and the best overall cut on Lost Spectacle. Though the party-ready “Higher” comes close.
