L.S.T. is a studio album by Shugo Tokumaru. It was originally released via Compare Notes Records on August 25, 2005 in Japan.[6] In 2006, it was re-released via Active Suspension in Europe, as well as via Lil' Chief Records in New Zealand.[7]
Jesse Jarnow of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "[Tokumaru's] electro-acoustic micro-miniatures are joyous contraptions, layers and textures slathered on with careful abandon, melodies separated between a dizzying array of guitars, pianos, chimes, whistles, glockenspiels, and stop-time rhythms."[1] He added, "Thanks to the constant instrumentation changes, the songs stay fresh, retaining a bedroom pop vibe despite their utterly obsessive arrangements."[1]
In 2010, Cokemachineglow placed it at number 96 on the "Top 100 Albums of the 2000s" list.[8]
