8.3 / 10

The Japanese quartet devote their second album to enthusiastic, maximalist pop with a bluntly feminist message.

9 / 10

A frenzied, technicolour second album from the Japanese four-piece

An inclusive call-to-arms championing individuality, uniqueness and self-confidence.

The Japanese quartet CHAI made a big splash with their giddy, genre-splicing debut album Pink, and while their follow-up Punk lacks the element of surprise that made Pink so exciting, it's still joyous and thrilling pop music.

Confidently taking on everything from rave rock to rose-tinted tropic-pop, CHAI tackle our stereos – and societal stereotypes – head on.

9 / 10

It seems almost inconceivable to dislike CHAI. Coming up in their native Japan via a SXSW Asia audition; signing to the savvy Burger Records...

7 / 10

Subversive and gleefully progressive, revolutionary Japanese garage-pop four-piece CHAI return with new album 'Punk' on Heavenly Recordings.

7.0 / 10

'Punk' by Chai, album review by Adam Williams. The Japanese quartet's forthcoming release, comes out on March 15th, via Burger/Heavenly Recoedings

The Japanese quartet’s second album amplifies the synth-pop and reframes empowerment: it’s a delight
