It is such an amazing feeling when your waiting for a record to finally be released, it literally feels like Christmas Morning (Minus the tree, decorations, and snow ) We are beyond excited to finally sink our ears into the new Eddie Japan record “Pop Fiction “

You can listen to “Pop Fiction “ on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here

Boston based Eddie Japan has crafted an album that you can’t help but fall in love with . “Pop Fiction” is the cinematic Boston septet at it’s absolute best.

Just one look at the packaging alone and it becomes crystal clear that this is a special body of work. With tone-setting artwork by acclaimed graphic artist Todd Alcott, Pop Fiction takes the 2019 EP The Amorous Adventures of Edward Japan and applies six new tracks to complete the kinda-sorta concept album, including a pair of recent singles: last fall’s infectious “Walk Away” and March’s pop-rock swirler “Time Machine,” featuring electronic-music pioneer Hawkes on synthesizer. ( We are still wearing out the magical “Time Machine “ on repeat) It was mostly recorded, mixed, and produced by guitarist Eric Brosius at his home studio, which also doubles as the official Eddie Japan rehearsal space. The band is set to showcase the record June 3 at Faces Brewing Co. in Malden, for the official release party alongside Magen Tracy and the Missed Connections and Carissa Johnson.

One track that we found ourselves going back to over and over is “The Dandy Of Suburbia “ We couldn’t help but close our eyes and picture this track part one of our favorite movies. “The Dandy Of Suburbia “ is a total masterpiece.

We couldn’t help but be pulled under by the absolutely melodic “Undertow” We were mesmerized by the opening vocal exchange on this track . Nobody can craft a song like Eddie Japan it is absolutely Jaw dropping the amount of talent that exists in one group.

As if the electric energy of Eddie Japan isn’t enough they also have the unmistakable sound of Greg Hawkes on synthesizer.

“I can’t Wait” features Greg Hawkes and we are head over heals about the vibe on this track . ( We may or may not blasted this track out our moon roof on the highway)

When asked about the record, Eddie Japan’s David Santos commented

“This record is really about this lost character who has sort of checked out of the system, so to speak, and is attempting to create what he imagines as an idyllic life of pleasure in the margins of suburbia, but always with the pull of what he left behind.”

Every song on “Pop Fiction “ is full of the kind of magic you find on the silver screen . Like we said earlier and it bears repeating. Eddie Japan is the kind of band that makes you fall in love with music over and over again .
