Strawberry Sound is an album by the female Japanese rock group Shonen Knife, released in 2000.[4][5] It was their first album without founding member Michie Nakatani.[3] It was released only in Japan.[6]
Rodney Greenblat (who is known for Parappa the Rapper) created the cover artwork.
Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that the album "starts out in a familiarly lo-fi punk vein, with the buzzsaw guitars and cute, nonsensical lyrics of 'Buggy Bug' defiantly signaling business as usual for the Osaka pop-punk group."[2]
