Read This Way

by Shonen Sampler

/
  • Cassette + Digital Album

    In all it's static glow, Read this way roars onto VHS. Presented with English Dubs in 3:4 aspect ratio, Shonen Sampler's "Read This Way" is a glitched out ode to the golden age of Anime OVAs. Released straight to video this 27 Minute long film combines shonen faves like Dragonball Z with 90's VHS cult classics like Cutie Honey and Urutsukidoji to form a late night block that's sure to hit that nostalgic sweet spot.

    You WON'T find this excitement anywhere else, but Halcyon!

about

From the Label:
In the depths of a balmy summer evening a CRT flickers to life, timed with a VCR to record a transformative block of footage. With the stirring of electrons and the glow of cathode rays, you rub your eyes and bathe in unadulterated static.

Read This Way is a vapor funk explosion from Shonen Sampler which dives headfirst into the anime and manga culture of the late nineties and early 2000's. You know. The Good Shit.

With saturated kicks blasting through hazy soulful samples, the full bodied funk of Read This Way is one which demands to be blasted at full volume in the deep of night.
