Rivers Cuomo has long held a fascination with Japanese culture, and has teamed up with indie musician Scott Murphy to release a Japanese language album.
This will actually be the second such record the pair have released, following a 2013 album.
According to Pitchfork, ニマイメ will only be available in Japan, from April 12 through Sony Music Japan International. I’m sure we’ll be able to access it, though.
Listen to the first single from the album, the chirpy ‘Fun In The Sun’, and check the cover art, below.
