DEFY

[Machine Translation] One year has passed since their first album "NEW MOON". LAID BACK OCEAN has evolved far beyond the imagination, and a new chapter has finally begun. The cinematic sound, which is clearly different from the past, shows the sorrow and confusion about the society where daily life is labeled in an easy-to-understand manner and consumed in a blink of an eye, where the margins and reverberations are filled with noise without a pause. However, the spirit of the five members who resist this trend from their own unique perspective and go on to win freedom. The songs, which are filled with YAFUMI's impulsive and introspective words that radiate a unique brilliance on a meticulously constructed sound design that can be described as psychedelic or progressive, remind us that they are the next level of rock.

1stアルバム『NEW MOON』から1年。想像を遥かに超える進化を遂げたLAID BACK OCEANの新章が遂にスタート。これまでとは明らかに異なるシネマティックなサウンドが示すのは、絶え間なく余白や余韻がノイズで埋め尽くされる日常をわかりやすくラベリングされ、瞬く間に消費される社会に対する憂いや戸惑い。しかしその風潮に独自の目線で抗い自由を獲得しにいく5人のスピリット。サイケデリックともプログレッシヴとも形容し得る緻密に構築されたサウンドデザインに、独特の輝きを放つ衝動的で内省的なYAFUMIの言葉を載せた楽曲群は、ロックのネクストレベルを感じさせる。
