Mayumi Kojima - Me And My Monkey On The Moon

Again, language barriers prevent me finding out more about an artist! This time it's Mayumi Kojima (or あの娘の彼), a Shibuya-kei musician from Japan. This track, an eccentric jazz scat, is one of just a few on the album (a collection of singles and rarities) with an English title. Despite the clear jazz, psychedelia and bossa nova influences, this is a song that exists completely in a world of its own.

Label: Pony Canyon
Year: 2000
