Description

[Machine Translation] A three-piece rock band consisting of Yusuke Yasujima (Vo,G,Syn), Shotaro Horiuchi (B), and Hiroki Motoyoshi Nico (Dr). Their danceable sound incorporating elements of garage rock, new wave, and electro-pop, and their emotional performances have attracted attention mainly in the live house scene, and despite being newcomers, they have performed at large-scale outdoor festivals such as ROCKS TOKYO2012 and RUSH BALL2012. The band's first national distribution was released in May of this year, and it was a hit with audiences. This EP, released about 7 months after their first nationally distributed mini-album "WAVEMENT" in May of this year, contains 4 new songs, each with a different musical approach. The EP features four new songs, each with a different musical approach. While the influence of the rock and roll revival and early new wave from the previous EP can be felt, the new melodies pursue a new and unique popularity, the lyrics more strongly express Yasushima's worldview that wavers between hope and despair, and the songs feature electronica sounds, presenting a new electro-rock that transcends genres. The album is a new electro-rock album that transcends genres. The album also features the producer Kaoru Miura, who has worked with BOOM BOOM SATELLITES and other artists, and succeeds in fusing rock and dance music even more than the previous album.

Description in Japanese

FL!ck EP / The Flickers

安島裕輔(Vo,G,Syn)、堀内祥太郎(B)、本吉Nico弘樹(Dr)の3人からなるスリーピースロックバンド。ガレージロック、ニューウェイブ、エレクトロポップなどの要素を盛り込んだダンサブルなサウンドと、エモーショナルなパフォーマンスでライブハウスシーンを中心に注目を集め、新人ながらROCKS TOKYO2012、RUSH BALL2012などの大規模な野外フェスにも出演し、多くのオーディエンスを集めて話題となった。今年の5月にリリースした初の全国流通盤となるミニアルバム「WAVEMENT」から約7ヶ月の期間を経てリリースされる本作EPはそれぞれ異なった楽曲アプローチの新曲4曲を収録。前作からのロックンロールリヴァイバルや初期ニュー・ウェーヴの影響を感じさせつつも、新たに独特のポピュラリティーを追求したメロディと、希望と絶望の狭間を揺れ動く安島の世界感をより強く表している詞、そしてエレクトロニカサウンドをフィーチャーした楽曲など、ジャンルを越えたニューエレクトロ・ロックを提示した作品となっている。また前作に続き、プロデューサーにBOOM BOOM SATELLITESなどを手がける三浦カオル氏を迎え、前作以上にロックとダンスミュージック融合に成功している。
