Japancakes: Soon/Touched
Whether you’re a Japancakes or a MBV fan, stick with the 2007 Loveless tribute.

Japancakes: If I Could See Dallas / Down the Elements / The Sleepy Strange
Worthy re-release of three improvised and instrumental albums that mix symphonic drone pop with a dash of pedal steel.

Japancakes: Giving Machines / Loveless
The two albums are occasionally lovely, always effortlessly competent, and while a body of work can perhaps survive by those traits alone, it isn't likely to distinguish itself.
