Their initial album, FAKEVOX contains a level of frenetic multi-composition rarely seen in any pop release, but maintains a pleasant arrangement of instrumental clips, sound-bytes and uniquely J-pop sounds which seem to miraculously avoid dissonance and remain quite interesting to listen to.
Their second album, Cartooom! remains somewhat similar to FAKEVOX along the lines of the patchwork-quilt style composition, but albeit a much more frantic -- almost manic arrangement which may be somewhat less-accessible for your brain to sychronise with than their initial album.
Regardless, there seem to now be several notable artists which borrow from this genre of pop, most notably The Go! Team.
Dough-Nuts Town's map
Plus-Tech Squeeze Box Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm very glad (it's a few in fact) hearing sound.
I show this small town.
I show my very dear mam.
Then, shall I begin great tour soon?
A prairie can be seen if hill is reached. good grief.
Since it's time, the theme of a town is made to hear it.
You're welcomed.
hey! brother. you're lookin' great!
welcome Dough-nut. hello! main street is in a mess.
Please pass the time of good one if you please in town.
psb game can be played in this place
amusement park!
A coaster is too short.
haunted house changes to the house of candy.
that is a future park, the car is flying.
welcome Dough-nut. hello! hello!
You're welcomed.
hey! brother. you're lookin' great!
welcome Dough-nut. hello! main street is in a mess.
Please pass the time of good one if you please in town. welcome Dough-nut. hello! hello!
You're welcomed.
hey! brother. you're lookin' great!
welcome Dough-nut. hello! main street is in a mess.
Please pass the time of good one if you please in town.
Please pass the time of good one if you please in town.
