Shunkan - Kamikaze Girl LP (Pre-order)
Born on the Gemini-Taurus cusp and raised in a bicultural household, Marina Sakimoto has always felt the pull of duality — a sense of being both split and whole. This theme is the heartbeat of Shunkan, the Los Angeles-based rock project she leads with raw emotion and unflinching honesty. In 2024, Shunkan signed to Rite Field Records and collaborated with Grammy-nominated producer Alex Newport (Death Cab for Cutie, At the Drive-In, Bloc Party) to craft a record that captures a pivotal moment in Sakimoto’s life. Written during one of her most challenging years, the album reflects on fleeting friendships that echoed her adolescence, coming to terms with an unwinding love, and wandering through the streets of LA in search of herself.
This limited edition of “Kamikaze Girl” will be offered in a special gatefold jacket and pressed at 610 Record Manufacturing in Houston, Texas.
Kamikaze Girl is out May 6, 2025. Orders are expected to ship starting mid-May.
