Saya and Ueno are Tenniscoats. The pair also travel with Tori Kudo's legendary Maher Shalal Hash Baz, which is how they came to meet John Chantler. Koji Shibuya otherwise records as Yumbo and kindly dropped the gorgeous hohner electric piano lines on this disc before getting on a train to Sendai at 5am.

These tracks were recorded by John Chantler in the Kitchen at Majikick House, Hanakoganei, Tokyo, October, 2003 with additional recording at Polarity, Tokyo (thanks to Samm & Haruna!) and various bedrooms and basements in London. 'Kyokunotsukurikata' features bonus processing by Mr Lawrence English.

Thanks to the kindness of Dave Howell, these tracks are also available as a free download courtesy of FatCat records.

Tenniscoats will release a new album on ROOM40 in 2006.
