Matthew Sweet - Kimi Ga Suki * Raifu

Limited edition 180-gram green vinyl

Limited time album download included

"An excellent modern guitar pop album, filled with great hooks and harmonies and irresistible ringing six-strings” — Allmusic

Originally released on CD in Japan in 2003, as a love letter and thank you to his Japanese fans, Matthew Sweet is now for the first time making the album available in August 2019, on a Limited Edition 180-gram green vinyl.

Recorded at home, produced, engineered & mixed by Matthew Sweet (bass, guirars & vocals) with the classic ‘Girlfriend' era lineup of Ric Menck (drums), Greg Leisz (guitars) and the genius electric lead guitar of Television's Richard Lloyd. The sleeve art is by renowned artist Yoshimoto Nara. In the liner notes, Sweet describes the album's title as an attempt at reverse English: "If I did it correctly, the title should seem a little strange or wrong, but still meaningful! The true definition is supposed to be a 'love you' life, one devoted to loving someone or something, even life itself!"
