Formed in late 2004, school food punishment is still a rather young band. In fact they only released their first album early in 2007, and their second later that year. At first blush School Food Is Good Food, their first album, promises some interesting sound-scapes and neat electronic tricks, but it quickly abandons the more complex production to focus on Yumi Uchimura's soft, mature vocals and Masayuki Hasuo's piano work. They do manage to inject their overall jazzy, smokey lounge style with a welcome dose of electronic atmosphere and raw drum sounds. Their second album Air Feel, Color Swimfollows the same pattern, with the opener "You May Crawl" being a fast paced dance tune ala Base Ball Bear and suitable for a colorful anime opening. From there it again drops to a low-register piano based croon, a bit like Tori Amos, only young and cute.
