The band’s debut album “Bossa Nova” was self-released on September 22, 2011, to immediate critical acclaim. After the debut release tour in Taiwan and Japan –– including playing at Summer Sonic Festival –– the band went on a long hiatus to refocus and work on other projects. In 2015, Sunset Rollercoaster reunited and went back on tour. The band has just released a new EP “Jinji Kikko” on March 1, 2016. Sunset Rollercoaster’s musical style fuses multiple genres, from soul and garage to psychedelic rock and synth-pop; therefore, the band is considered as an icon of city-pop in Taiwan. Most of the songs discuss the fantasy of love and psychedelic experiences with rather absurd lyrics.
