Long Season, the 1996 magnum opus of Japanese rock band Fishmans, was a radical proposition: take an existing track-the group's six-minute single 'Season'-and turn it into a dreamlike suite that elevates their gentle psych-pop to symphonic proportions.
He sounds friendly, like an affectionate drunk filling a room with positive energy, playfully stretching syllables and delivering them with easygoing charm.
Crucially, Long Season does not sound like a jam session; each passage is a self-contained world of sound that serves the drifting, daydream logic of the overall piece.
Sato, Fishmans' vocalist, guitarist, and charismatic leader, showed signs of the sort of ambition and tenacity needed to pull off a grand-scale project like Long Season from a young age.
