Back in November, we mentioned Japanese pop wizard Shugo Tokumaro would release a new album this month. In Focus? is out already in Japan through P-Vine Records, and January 22nd will see the album’s worldwide release via Polyvinyl Records.

‘Decorate’ was the first taste to emerge from the album, and Shugo Tokumaro has offered a second cut from In Focus?, the wondrous ‘Katachi’. Here it is.

2013 is getting closer and there are a lot of exciting releases to look forward to. Japanese pop wizard Shugo Tokumaro is presenting In Focus?, the follow up to his 2010’s Port Entropy. The new album has been released in his native Japan earlier this month via P-Vine Records, and it drops worldwide on January 22nd via Polyvinyl Records.

According to the press release, whilst creating In Focus? in the first half of 2012, the multi-instrumentalist “locked himself inside his home studio, often forgetting to eat and sleep for long stretches of time”.Tokumaro crafted each song in the album using “an average of 20 instruments and hundreds of recorded parts”.

Lead single ‘Decorate’ is the first joyful taste Shugo Tokumaro is offering, and it comes with video. Here it is.
