El Blanco

[Machine Translation] An English-language rock band from Kansai. This is their third album in total, a mini album with 6 songs. The meaningful title, "El Blanco" ("White Fat" in Spanish), indicates that the band's musicality has been constantly renewed since their first and second albums, "El Primero" and "La Primera" ("The First Fat" in Spanish), respectively. This album will also be a great opportunity for listeners who have never heard of Kidori Kidori to hear the band's unique flavor and musical range. The artwork of "Watch Out!!!", which has a weird atmosphere, is included only on the limited-edition EP. a popular song with an up-tempo and edgy riff that was only included on their venue-only EP, "Silly," a mix of Afrobeat, dub, and ska with their unique sense of style, "DISCUSSION," a new Japanese song since "5/10" from their first album "El Primero," and a new song "Kiyo" from their second album "Kiyo" (a Japanese song that has been released on the same album). The album also includes "DISCUSSION", a new Japanese song " Hospital", a rare ballad "I Laid Down", a catchy pop rock song "Slow Down", and 6 songs with a full range of styles. The mixing/mastering was done by the genius Kaoru Miura, who is also known for his work with BOOM BOOM SATELLITES and LITE.

関西発、英詞ロックバンド。通算3枚目となる本作品は、6曲入りミニアルバム。「El Blanco(=スペイン語で「白い◯◯」)」という意味深なタイトルは、1st Al「El Primero」、2nd Al「La Primera」(スペイン語で「最初の◯◯」)の2作品を経て、常に彼らの音楽性が更新されていることがうかがえる。また、Kidori Kidoriを聴いたことの無い、まっさらなリスナーも、この一枚を聴いてもらえれば彼らの持ち味と音楽的な幅広さが伝わる一枚となっている。アートワークでも頻繁に登場する"オバケ"からもうかがえる、彼ららしい怪しい雰囲気の漂う「Watch Out!!!」、会場限定EPのみに収録されていた、アップテンポでエッジィなリフが際立つ人気曲「Silly」、アフロビートや、ダブ、スカなどを独自のセンスでミックスし再構築した「DISCUSSION」、1st album 「El Primero」収録の「5/10」以来の日本語新曲「◯◯病院」、キドリキドリとしては珍しいバラード「I Laid Down」、キャッチーなPOP ROCK「Slow Down」と、振り幅全開の充実した6曲を収録。ミックス/マスタリングは、BOOM BOOM SATELLITESやLITEなどの仕事でも知られる、鬼才・三浦カオル氏。
