Various Artists - Swinging Japan (2015)

The compilation "Swinging Japan" serves as a unique anthology of the Japanese Neo-Mod scene, predominantly formed in Tokyo. The release explores how Japanese musicians interpreted and adapted 1960s British culture, creating their own style at the intersection of Garage Rock, Rhythm & Blues, and Freakbeat. The album features tracks from local cult bands known for their perfectionism in recreating the vintage sound and aesthetics of that era. It is not merely imitation, but an energetic reimagining of Mod Jazz and Beat music with a distinctive Japanese flair.
