I was willing to go see this band just because of the description: Japanese Krautrock. It's like the punchline to a joke at Pitchfork Media's expense.
But they were good. Really good. Tight, clever and with perfectly synchronised speed changes that keep you on your toes.
I think Minami Deutsch is to Krautrock what tempura is to fish and chips. In many ways perfecting the original but not just a clone. It's own thing.
