Good Bye Sulky Days Ep

[Machine Translation] THE TURQUOISE, a three-piece band led by Kei Naoe (G/Vo) of OCEANLANE, which regrettably went on hiatus in December 2011, has started up. This 5-track mini-album is the first release with Hironaga Ogawa (Tsubaki) on bass, and includes "Looking Back," a ballad that became a hot topic when it was provided to the movie "BECK" as OCEANLANE and was much anticipated by fans. The band's sound has changed to become more rock solid and energetic, and the songs are comparable to those of UK and US royal roadside guitar rock bands of the 90s and 2000s. The first Japanese-language song (one song) is also noteworthy. The band is dramatically evolving with catchy melodies and the newly acquired dynamism of a three-piece band.

惜しくも2011年12月活動休止となったOCEANLANEの直江慶 (G/Vo)率いる3ピースバンド・THE TURQUOISE始動。ベースに小川博永(つばき)を迎え初の音源となる5曲入りミニアルバム。OCEANLANEとして映画「BECK」に提供し話題となったファン待望の名バラード「Looking Back」収録。よりロックにソリッドにエネルギッシュに変化したバンドサウンドは、90年代から2000年代のUK、US王道ギターロックバンドにも匹敵する楽曲。初の日本語曲収録(1曲)にも注目。口ずさめるキャッチーなメロディと新たに手に入れた3ピースのダイナミズムにより劇的に進化中。
