Sunkissed

Michael Lückner’s first release under the moniker Guitar – officially one of the harder names to search for online in the 21st century – was a prime early example of what became known as electrogaze, where the sonic overload of shoegaze could lend itself to computer-derived treatments and production. 2002’s Sunkissed aims for a mostly easygoing lope and blissing out via layered waves of feedback and beats, evident from the start with the title track, with guests Ayako Akashiba and Regina Janssen from Donna Regina trading lead vocal duties throughout.
