Information
LITE is one of Japan's leading instrumental rock bands. "Installation" was released in 2013. The following year, the LP was also released on Top Shelf Records, an American indie label that continues to lead the indie scene with a focus on post-rock/math rock and other genres. One theme of the album was “physical temperature,” and it contains 10 songs, including “Bond” and “Echolocation,” both of which are very popular with audiences at current live shows. Recorded in Japan and the U.S., the album is a further evolution of the fusion of the technical and emotional sound of early LITE and the electronic sound that has evolved since the introduction of synths. This classic album, which enjoys great popularity among music fans around the world, is being reissued as a “Record Day 2024” limited edition!
