Veg - Adrift in Time (Vinyl)

Vinyl LP With Newly Remastered Audio and Redesigned Artwork

Adrift in Time is the first full-length album by Veg, a three-piece band formed in Tokyo in 2021. It was first issued on CD and digitally on April 16, 2025. This LP from Jet Set carries all 17 tracks with newly remastered audio and redesigned artwork, according to the label.

The band is vocalist and guitarist momoko, bassist Ryosuke Nagasawa and drummer Gensuke Toshiro. Its TuneCore Japan biography says momoko moved from recording on her own to a full band with friends from university, and describes the sound as late-1960s and 1970s R&B and funk meeting Japanese indie sensibilities.

Jet Set's notes center the album on funk and soul, carried by the rhythm section and by momoko's guitar and vocals. An intro and two short interludes divide the running order. The band has described the title as a journey drifting between past and future, between nostalgia and imagined futures.

Veg played ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2025, the year the album came out. It followed the 2022 EP MOONSHOT and a run of singles that included S.U.V. and Devotion; Devotion, issued as a single in 2024, closes side A here.
