Otoboke Beaver (おとぼけビ～バ～) – Itekoma Hits (いてこまヒッツ) (2019, Japan)

Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 759 on The List, submitted by joostverweij. This is the first studio LP from the punk rock/garage band named after a love hotel in Osaka and inspired by manzai, a traditional style of Japanese comedy. The blog post essentially talks about their 2024 Tiny Desk performance because this is one of those have-to-see bands, so that link is included below here too.

@1001OtherAlbums Otoboke Beaver is such an awesome blend of fun and fury! My first exposure was Don't Light My Fire, and completely agree, you have to see them.
