"but overall they’ve felt more like adept cosplayers doing city pop and SIRUP among other styles1.I especially think they are trying to fill the Suchmos-sized gap in the market."
Thank you for putting into words what I could not - it also took me forever to find out WHAT they were - not really a band, but a production/writing duo and someone who can sing with a Korean accent instead of just pretending like half of the male Japanese R&B singers. All of "their" live performances have fairly seasoned session musicians and rarely (if ever?) the actual production team.
For what it's worth, I'll say the Vacation EP is pretty good Suchmos cosplay.
