Kurosuke is the solo side project of Anomalyst singer-guitarist Christianto Ario Wibowo, which came about through the desire to write and record an album in a quick and spontaneous manner; the resulting album was written and recorded in the space of two weeks, with Ario handling all vocals and instruments almost entirely by himself.
Regarding the difference between the music on this project and with Anomalyst Ario has noted that the songs he writes for Anomalyst sound like Kurosuke before the other members of the band get involved. Ario also deliberately scaled back the guitars and emphasized the Eighties pop influence on this project.
