Pop Tune is the 18th studio album from Osaka, Japan’s Shonen Knife, released on 2nd July 2012 via Damnably. The new record features ten original songs produced by Naoko and manager Atsushi, recorded by Ippei Suda (Afrirampo/Balzac) and mastered by Koichi Hara (Afrirampo/ OOIOO/Boredoms).

Having explored a 70’s heavy metal rock sound in their previous two LP’s Super Group and Free Time – Pop Tune is a return to the bands signature combinations of pin sharp punk-pop, 60’s girl group inspired harmonies, upbeat melodies and irreverence.
