Yawn

[Machine Translation] A three-piece group active since 2003. Their sound is a combination of high-dimensional musicality and friendliness, and they have digested the best essence of diverse elements such as post-rock, alternative, US indie, J-pop, and folk music. Their most distinctive feature is their voices that touch the heartstrings of the Japanese people. After overcoming the ordeal of drummer Higashi's departure, this is the band's third album in two years, produced by Koji Saito, who worked with OGRE YOU ASSHOLE and moools. The engineering work was done by Seiki Tada, who also worked on Sparta Local and uri gagarn, another band formed by group_inou's cp. The album includes four songs such as "Baby" and "Poolside," two songs made by the three after Azuma left the band, and a special remix by I AM ROBOT AND PROUD, a very popular Canadian electronica artist who is also a labelmate of Azuma's. The album contains seven songs in total.

2003年より活動する3人組。ポスト・ロック、オルタナ、USインディー、Jポップ、フォークら多様な要素の最良のエッセンスを消化した高次元の音楽性と人懐っこさが同居したサウンド、電飾を施したステージで繰り広げる激しさと繊細さが交錯するパフォーマンス、文学性や叙情性を感じさせるメロディー、日本人の心の琴線に触れる声が最大の特徴。ドラマー東の脱退という試練を乗り越えて、2年ぶりに届けられた3作目となる本作は、前作に引き続きOGRE YOU ASSHOLEやmooolsを手がけた斉藤耕治によるプロデュース。エンジニアには前作に続き、スパルタローカルやgroup_inouのcpによる別バンドuri gagarnなども手掛ける多田聖樹が担当。「Baby」や「プールサイド」などの4曲に、東脱退後の3人で作られた2曲、そしてレーベルメイトであるカナダの大人気エレクトロニカ・アーティストであるI AM ROBOT AND PROUDによる特別リミックスを収録した、充実の全7曲。
