CHENTS takes the wake up call twice a week on The NTS Breakfast Show.
Translating literally as “Shibuya-style”, named after the shopping district of Tokyo, which during the ‘90s was the epicentre of the kitsch and Western retro throwback aesthetic, Shibuya-kei bands drew heavily from easy listening pop movements of the 1960s – bossa nova, psychedelia, yé-yé and more.

Improvement Movement is a band from Atlanta, Georgia, United States, comprised of Anthony Aparo (guitar, vocals), Zach Pyles (keys, synth) and Tim Friesen (bass).
They are all former members of Culture Culture, who once banded together to create euphoric synth-pop before dissolving after two EPs. Their new band maintains some semblance of that group's punchy grooves and infectious hooks. They are a psychedelic pop band, although the reality is a bit more malleable and elastic. They have also been compared to bands such as Tame Impala and Temples.
