Berlin-based, Japanese industrial synth duo Group A's debut on Mannequin Records. Tommi Tokyo and Sayaka Botanic released two studio albums and one live album in Tokyo before moving to Berlin in 2016. With their mixture of dark minimal synth, avant-noise, striking visuals, and performance art, the duo carries the very breath of early industrial pioneers. "T.O.P." and "Ketabali" represents their personal reaction against the current economy -- an up-yours to capitalism, news, and politics. "Alibi" was inspired by an autobiography of Hi-Red Centre (Japanese avant-grade group in the '60-70s) written by one of the members, Genpei Akasegawa.
