Number Girl – School Girl Distortional Addict
Album
Number Girl's 1999 major-label debut is the cornerstone of Japanese alternative rock. Shutoku Mukai's yelped vocals and Hisako Tabuchi's sharp, trebly guitar make a sound that is noisy, nervous and very catchy. Toumei Shoujo is the track to start with. Choose it if you like Pixies or Sonic Youth and want their Japanese counterpart.
