Ryo Hamamoto & the Wetland

[Machine Translation] Ryo Hamamoto is a prodigious singer/songwriter who also works as a guitarist for moools, a band that has been highly respected in the Japanese indie scene for more than 10 years. It has been six years since his debut album under his own name, and this is his first album as a band member. This album, which took nearly a year to complete after the earthquake disaster, is a superb album that explodes with his outstanding guitar technique, which he has demonstrated to the fullest extent in moools, as well as his uniquely Japanese talent, including a voice full of rich flavor, mellow melodies, and rich grooves.

10年以上にわたって日本のインディー・シーンにおいて絶大なるリスペクトを集めるmooolsのギタリストとしても活動する天才シンガー・ソングライター、Ryo Hamamoto。個人名義でのデビュー・アルバム以来6年ぶり、バンド名義としては初となるアルバム。震災を挟み、1年近くかけてようやく完成された本作は、mooolsで存分に披露している卓越したギター・テクニックはもちろん、滋味あふれる唄声、芳醇なメロディー、豊かなグルーヴなど、すべてが日本人離れした彼の才能が爆発した極上の一枚となった。
