When a band regularly starts its shows with Television's "Marquee Moon," you know what kind of standards it holds itself up to. In light of the progress Number Girl has made in its brief history, this doesn't seem too ambitious. Since forming in 1995, the band has gone from the indies to the Japanese majors, moved from Fukuoka to Tokyo for its work, and recorded an album with a star producer (David Fridmann on "Seppukei").
