Yukasita - Underfloor World is the last full album released by Frank Chickens in 1997 (though the record shows the date 1994). The album just bears the English title but it also known by the Japanese translation Yukasita. The title refers to lead singer and songwriter Kazuko Hohki's obsession with the book The Borrowers by Mary Norton.
Most of the songs were written by Kazuko Hohki in collaboration with others. It also contains cover versions of songs by Jonathan King ("Johnny Reggae") and Marc Bolan ("Thunderwing"). The song "Mad Man in Manchester" is about Mark E. Smith of The Fall.
The songs on the album most performed in live shows at the time were "Different", "Mad Man in Manchester", "Miniature Whale" and "Annabella".
