Given my current location, it's no surprise that this absolute banger from Japan (the band, not the country) has been playing over in my head quite a bit. The extraordinary video is inspired by a ballet by #Bauhaus era choreographer #OskarSchlemmer. #RaySinger created it in honour of Japan's brilliant and sorely missed bassist (also a talented sculptor), #MickKarn.

Another old song I love to bits: Dali’s Car and The Judgement Is The Mirror.
A 1984 collaboration between Mick Karn of Japan and Pete Murphy from Bauhaus. A perfect goth storm of a band making utterly lovely, strange, wiggly music.

And yet another Japan-related track. They were fucking great, weren’t they?
