Jack or Jive Lights - A Solo Exhibition

Jack or Jive are the husband-and-wife duo of Makoto Hattori and Chako, who began making ethereal (more Projekt than 4AD, but in that general soundworld) music in the late 1980s and are still very active. In 1994, they decided to make a more overtly pop album, for which they appended the word "lights" to their band name. The sound, though, isn't very far off from the darker Jack or Jive. Some of these songs are pleasingly rough around the edges, but some sound naive in a not-good way. You be the judge. Released as a CD on Elves Recordings (a division of Dragnet Records/Drag & Drop) in 1994.
