At first listen, you might guess that Love Psychedelico is a European or American pop rock group and not a duo formed in Tokyo. Kumi's laidback vocals effortlessly glide from English to Japanese and back, while guitarist Naoki's performances are reminiscent of classic American rock. The resulting sound is a distinctive fusion that is easy to enjoy.
