Review

Entertainment Weekly (9/12/97, p.138) - "Japan's favorite avant-lounge duo returns with a more club-oriented set, but their blend of '60s kitsch and savvy pop-culture references remains intact, giving the Cardigans a run for the retro-hip money..." - Rating: A-
Melody Maker (11/1/97, p.44) - "Swingy retro orchestrations, style poems and ultra contemporary sonics pepper this delightfully upbeat 13-cut long-player."

Title Note

Pizzicato Five: Maki (vocals); DJ Konishi.

HAPPY END OF THE WORLD is Pizzicato Five's first "real" U.S. album. The group's two previous U.S. releases, MADE IN USA and THE SOUND OF MUSIC, sampled nearly ten years' worth of albums that had been released in the band's native Japan. Luckily, HAPPY END OF THE WORLD is as filler-free as the two compilations. "The World Is Spinning at 45 RPM" and the cheerleader-driven "It's a Beautiful Day" are classic P5: frothy girl-group bubblegum with Maki Nomiya's irresistible vocals skipping over Yasuharu Konishi's sample-mad layers of keyboards; strings; Japanese and English sound bites; and alternating trip-hop, samba, and hyperactive pop beats. Other tracks, like the self-explanatory "Porno 3003," mine Konishi's long-standing fascination with '50s and '60s movie soundtracks. HAPPY END OF THE WORLD is a dizzying, intoxicating ride for those who believe great pop doesn't need guitars.
