Pitchfork

October 19, p-vine records will release Tokyo popster Shugo Tokumaru's Exit in his native Japan. No word on a worldwide release of Exit, but it's hoped that the album will come to the States sometime soon. I mean, look at that cover!

Hey, speaking of covers, feel free to reacquaint yourself with Tokumaru's reverent, recently Forkcasted take on "Young Folks" while you sit on your hands and wait for "sometime soon" to magically transform into "now."

In the meantime, you can pore over the tracklist and play pretend, or make it out to one of Tokumaru's forthcoming gigs. Thanks to reader Park Baker for the tip, and congrats for having a really awesome name. You too, Shugo!
