Clanging guitars have been replaced by warm synthesizers and soft strings, while Japanese singer Kazu Makino's thin voice has become a ghostly moan on the grandiose opener and title track of the New York trio's seventh full-length release, 23. Their last one, 2004's Misery Is a Butterfly, was a lovely throwback to the dream-pop heyday of the Cocteau Twins and Lush. This one presses further down that road, only with a more experimental streak, as cascading guitars, military rhythms, and wobbly melodies shape opulent, otherworldly songs like "The Dress" and "My Impure Hair." --Aidin Vaziri Review: essential & a display of passion brilliance & magic - Opens with the passionate '23' and the spell is cast with Kazu providing another magical performance, about how in 23 seconds so much can happen to change a life, and the number 23 chosen because of its enigmatic theories "23 magic, if you change the name of love". Kazu continues the brilliance with 'Dr. Strangeluv' with so many beautiful sounds & vocals...another melodic winner with Amedeo creating the guitar fills. Then emerges the best track (so far) in 'The Dress' with Kazu's strange vocals "Horse loves you when you move with him...people hate you when you're changing"....& the Japanese sounding keyboard backing heightens the atmosphere. Now it's the turn of Amedeo via 'S.W.' and his vocal interpretation reaches Kazu's and is a powerful sound of high emotion. Amedeo follows up with the wonderful 'Spring And By Summer Fall' with its steady urgent drumming (Simone as always doing superb drums). Kazu with 'Silently' probably the most commercial here & reminds a little of Supremes 'Baby Love'. 'Publisher' a gloomy sounding effort with synth dominating "Say what you say, say it like a cat Say it to my face and say what you know everyone says". 'Heroine' a pretty piece which is seemingly about a friend Roland committing suicide. 'Top Ranking' "I take my ceder to where the mountain is high" as Kazu takes us up there via beautiful sounds, a catchy refrain & is apparently about the horrors of the Vietnam war (yes this is not party music). Final track is the weird 'My Impure Hair' which is perhaps the weakest here.. Perhaps not as strong or beautiful as previous LP 'Misery Is A Butterfly' but nevertheless essential & a display of passion brilliance & magic. Review: music you'll want to listen over and over - 23 is one of the most powerfull LPs that i have ever owned. You can listen to the entire album over and over without having the need to skip a song. The songs flow, following each other offering a great music experience. To my opinion, apart from the excelent production the singers voice is unique-amazing. Preview any song and if you like it you will surely love the entire album. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000NJLYSK | | Best Sellers Rank | 93,005 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 10,844 in Pop Rock 14,322 in Alternative & Indie 34,255 in Rock | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (167) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 23 | | Label | 4AD | | Manufacturer | 4AD | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 14.1 x 12.5 x 1.19 cm; 92.13 g | ## Images ![23 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LcHQf3oQL.jpg) ![23 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51voxL5qmOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ essential & a display of passion brilliance & magic *by R***R on 21 July 2012* Opens with the passionate '23' and the spell is cast with Kazu providing another magical performance, about how in 23 seconds so much can happen to change a life, and the number 23 chosen because of its enigmatic theories "23 magic, if you change the name of love".

Neatly balances the noise of their earlier career ... *by D***L on 6 September 2017* One of their best. Neatly balances the noise of their earlier career with the melodic sensibility of their later, with plenty of shoegaze to gel it all together. Well worth picking up, and sticking with. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/142879585-23](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/142879585-23) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
