Degurutieni

Japanese one‑man musician (often described as a toy‑instrument/lo‑fi experimental artist) active since the early 1980s. Known for the album Dark Mondo and for self‑produced, DIY releases; associated in reviews with Tom Waits‑like vocals and an exotica/burlesque aesthetic.

According to the review: reportedly born in 1967 in Osaka (Nishinari), began making tapes around 1983, Iguana Twiggy Pop was published in 2006 by LD&K Records, Dark Mondo was released on Swiss Voodoo Rhythm Records; tours Europe (noted performances in Belgium).

A warm, amused appraisal of Degurutieni's Dark Mondo that highlights its lo‑fi toy‑instrument exotica, Tom Waits–like vocals and cohesive anthology feel. The review praises inventiveness and recommends the record to fans of outsider, burlesque, and broken‑gear music. Album rated 4/5.

For:Listeners of experimental, lo‑fi, exotica and Tom Waits–influenced music; fans of outsider one‑man bands.
