REVIEW

The debut album from Japanese shoegaze band BLOOD PICK ME.

Built around heavy guitars and infused with industrial elements, the record paints a vision of decadent dystopia. Within the Japanese shoegaze scene, a band this consistently committed to such a dark aesthetic remains a rare presence.

The transition from the uplifting dance-driven “IN SECRET” to the earth-piercing heaviness of “All I Need” stands out as a key highlight, fully showcasing the band’s distinctive character. At present, BLOOD PICK ME appear to focus primarily on studio work, with little information available about the members themselves—leaving listeners hoping for the day when their music can finally be experienced live.
