February 19 street date. Back in print for the first time in years, "Dawn Metropolis" is Anamanaguchi's debut album, and the first with the complete band lineup. The core is an NES sound chip programmed to the brim with hyperactive 8-bit melody, as the band shreds along with a real punk sensibility. "Blackout City" appeared in the game Bit Trip Runner, and "Jetpack Blues, Sunset Hues" was featured as the theme song to the Nerdist podcast. Orange/maroon/purple vinyl with download.
February 19 street date. Anamanaguchi's driving & dynamic debut EP, recorded while the band was still in high school.

White with red and gold splatter vinyl and download.
August 27 street date. "Summer Singles 2010/2020" unites two fan-favorite collections of singles in a first-ever physical edition and confirms Anamanaguchi's reputation among those in-the-know as one of the most casually trailblazing and unexpectedly refined bands around. Each eight-song set was originally recorded and released in the wake of a beloved Anamanaguchi album. In 2010, they created the cult-classic soundtrack for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game, which was just reissued this January, and cemented their role as pioneers in the homemade, video game world of chiptune music. The 2020 singles followed the critically acclaimed [USA] LP, an album at once more introspective and expansive, which hit No. 3 on Billboard Heatseekers chart and won praise from NPR.

July 22 street date. Aside from being one of Anamanaguchi's most streamed songs, "Miku", featuring the vocaloid pop star Hatsune Miku, is an anthem for a new type of musical icon, one that doesn't need to be attached to a physical human body.
