Since emerging in 2018, CHAI, a Japanese synth - pop quartet of identical twins MANA (lead vocals and keys) and KANA (guitar), drummer YUNA, and bassist - lyricist YUUKI, have been all about explosive joy. At their live shows, they're known for their lively, eclectic songwriting, great musicianship, matching outfits, cute choreography. Their mission is to break down Japan's oppressive beauty and cuteness standards. Their third full - length album, WINK (their first for Sub Pop), offers their mellowest and most impactful music yet. It features contributions from outside producers (Mndsgn, YMCK) and a feature from Chicago rapper - singer Ric Wilson. CHAI blend R&B, hip - hop into their dance - punk and pop - rock mix while still being distinctively CHAI. The theme of WINK is self - challenge. This limited - edition album comes on red, white & blue splatter colored vinyl with a printed foldout insert. Music label: Sub Pop 2021.
To enjoy this CHAI's Wink vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable and let the music play. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oils on it. Keep the vinyl away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures as this can warp the record. After each use, put the vinyl back in its sleeve to protect it from scratches. If you notice any dust on the vinyl, use a soft, anti - static brush to gently clean it. The printed foldout insert is a nice keepsake, so handle it carefully to prevent tearing.
