    This doesn't feel like much of an article. I know it's gauche to accuse something of being AI written, but even if this is written by a human, this feels like something that a student would scribble in their notebook on the bus ride to school to turn in for their first period class.

      Seriously. Exploring the topic and jumping from 1970s to 2003 without mentioning the Cocteau Twins is criminal.

        And missing the point that Urban Trad did a complete album, not just Sanomi

    Kikagaku Moyo does this with Japanese Psychedelic Rock. “Monaka” is a fine example.

    It sounds as though this set the precedent for "I, Zimbra" by Talking Heads.

      I zimbra used an existing nonsense word poem by Hugo Ball which predates this by quite a bit.

      I’m drawing a blank on the 60s or 70s pop song which had fake non English lyrics in some part of it. Amusingly in this context, the French lyrics in Psycho Killer are legitimate.
