Marking 50 years since its original release, Stones Throw Records’ reissue of Haruomi Hosono’s 1975 album ‘Tropical Dandy’ is the first edition of this record to be released outside of Japan.
‘Tropical Dandy’ is the cult classic album that marked Hosono’s shift toward genre-blending, fusing exotica, jazz and pop to lay the groundwork for Japanese City Pop.
Hosono is the founding member of folk-rock act Happy End and the pioneering electronic trio Yellow Magic
Orchestra.
He has also released several solo albums in his five-decade career, spanning many styles and effortlessly fusing exotica, funk, country, electronic, ambient and everything in between.
“I’ve orbited around [Hosono] for light years during his pan-Pacific musical adventures. Cinematic romance with sonic texture.” - Van Dyke Parks
This marks the second collaboration between Stones Throw and Hosono, following the release of ‘Hosono
House Revisited’, a compilation of songs from Hosono’s solo debut, reworked by artists including Mac DeMarco, Sam Gendel and John Carroll Kirby.
Pressed in the US on 180gram vinyl, with OBI and a new translation of Haruomi Hosono’s original 1975
liner notes.
