Description

[Machine Translation] MAGUMI & THE BREATHLESS, led by vocalist and trumpet player MAGUMI of LA-PPISCH, which boasts a career spanning over 30 years as a pioneer in the Japanese ska-punk scene, released their first single and album simultaneously in three years. This is the first single and album in three years released simultaneously, and is a great album with cool and stylish sound that LA-PPISCH fans should listen to. The BREATHLESS was formed as a solo acoustic unit of LA-PPISCH's vocalist MAGUMI, who has roots in the Japanese ska-punk scene, with the addition of a rhythm section. In search of new music, the group repeatedly tried out new songs, held many sessions, and added more original songs while performing live at the same time. Since "delight" was a solo project until the middle of the album, some compositions were outsourced, but finally the second album with all original songs was completed! Will they be able to hit the scene with "Demonstration" as the title of the album suggests? MAGUMI ( Vocal,Trumpet ) / Hideki Nagai ( Guitar,Chorus ) / Norikatsu Hakamatsuka ( Bass,Chorus ) / Masayoshi Kasamatsu ( Drums ) / Ryo Shimamoto ( Keyboard,Sax,Chorus ) / Seiji Naoe ( Percussion ) Three years have passed since the last 1st "delight". I started this project with the intention of making a solo album, so I invited Kyoichi Sugimoto, Seiji Kimura, and TAKUYA to compose the music, and the rest was composed by myself and other band members. I think it was a good timing to start the band. After three years of careful work as a band, we have finally completed "Demonstration," an all-original work that has been developed through live performances. We have put all of our experience and knowledge into this work. It's a bit embarrassing, as if someone is peeking inside my brain. All the songs are full of variety and probably there is no similar band out there. The puzzle in my head was finally put together with this album. I am confident that each and every piece of the band has been put together perfectly. This is just the beginning of the Demonstration of THE BREATHLESS. Don't be surprised when you hear it ( lol ) ( from MAGUMI )

Demonstration / MAGUMI AND THE BREATHLESS

日本スカ・パンクシーンの草分け的存在として30年以上のキャリアを誇るLA-PPISCHのボーカル&トランペットのMAGUMI率いるMAGUMI & THE BREATHLESS、3年ぶりにシングル&アルバム同時リリース。未だ根強く支持されているLA-PPISCHファンにも聴いて欲しい、クールさとスタイリッシュさが存分に発揮された好盤!日本スカ・パンク界のルーツ、LA-PPISCHのボーカルMAGUMIのソロアコースティックユニットにリズム隊を加えTHE BREATHLESSが結成された。2011年1stアルバム「delight」をリリース。新しい音楽を求め、試行錯誤を繰り返し、セッションを重ねて、オリジナル曲をライブと同時進行で増やしていく。「delight」は途中までソロプロジェクトだった為、作曲を何曲か外注したが、遂に全曲オリジナルの2ndアルバムが完成!アルバムタイトルのごとく「Demonstration」をシーンに叩きつけられるか。期待の一枚。MAGUMI(ボーカル,トランペット)/永井秀樹(ギター,コーラス)/袴塚徳勝(ベース,コーラス)カサマツマサヨシ(ドラム)/島本亮(キーボード,サックス,コーラス)/直江誠治(パーカッション)前回の1st「delight」から3年がたった。ソロアルバムを作るつもりで始めたプロジェクだったので、作曲を 杉本恭一・木村世治・TAKUYAを迎えて残りを自分やバンドのメンバーの曲でうめました。バンドのスタートとしてはいいタイミングだったと思います。そして今回!3年間でバンドとしてじっくり仕上げてライブで鍛えあげた全曲オリジナル作品「Demonstration」がついに完成しました。今までの経験と知識を全て注ぎ込んだ作品です。脳みその中を覗かれているような恥ずかしさがありますね。全曲バラエティに富んだ内容で多分、似たようなバンドはいないでしょう。私の頭の中のパズルが今回のアルバムでやっと組み立てる事ができました。メンバー、一人一人のピースががっちり組み合った自信作です。まさしくTHE BREATHLESSのDemonstrationの始まりです。聴いて驚くなよ(笑)【from MAGUMI】
