Description:

Get Hip is thrilled to present the exciting sophomore album by one of the best Beat groups ever: Japan’s own Neatbeats!

The Neatbeats are four young men who’ve helped bring back the “Liverpool Sound” as one of the most talked about things in the independent music world. Though they live in Japan, they get their authentic sound by playing vintage British and German instruments with the energy of today.

They are particularly keen on these 12 tracks, five of which were composed by former Death Dealers Takashi “Mr. Pan” Manabe. “Looks So Nice” delivers a driving beat; you can really groove to “Do the Global Twist,” and “Before It’s Too Late” is a melodic tune with rock ‘n’ roll flavor. The last two are original instrumentals of which “Turning Up,” featuring a Vox Continental organ, is especially groovy. You’ll recognize the rest as a hot handful of beat standards.

A must for Kaisers fans!
