Tomoyuki Ohki's pseudonym, Tomovsky, may have been inspired by the Russian masters of classical music, but his musical lineage is pure -- albeit twisted -- pop: equal parts John Lennon and Syd Barrett.
Like psychedelic punkster Robyn Hitchcock, Tomovsky shapes well-written songs that flutter with off-kilter hooks and the red-eyed humor and skewed perspective of someone who has stayed up way too late. He also borrows a few licks from Money Mark, with meandering organ fill and the same lackadaisical vocal delivery.
Tomovsky (like, oddly enough, Lyndon Baines Johnson) has fashioned a strange sleep schedule of two distinct four-hour periods. This leaves plenty of time for nighttime musical meandering.
