Description

[Machine Translation] A masterpiece at the age of 30! The cool drive makers debuted in 1997 with a cutting-edge sense of style and a taste for the grooves of the times, and gained a huge following among music fanatics and fashion-conscious young people. Perhaps because of their talent, the band's style changed from album to album in a variety of ways, leaving the undeniable impression that it was difficult to see the band's true nature. Seven years have passed since the cool drive makers went on hiatus. Nemo, the songwriter and frontman of the band, has finally awakened. With the help of guitarist and co-songwriter Nicholas Kay, an original member of Nemo Travolta, and Haru Potta, who joined the band officially from a support position, the band has narrowed its focus to black grooves based on blues, its strongest area of expertise, and has come to the conclusion that "We can only do this! We can only do this! The openness of the film, as if to say, "We can only do this!" reminds us that rock and roll is the cry of an individual that is transmitted to the world. The song begins with Nicholas Kay's dynamic guitar riff, followed by Haru Potta's swirling bass in unison in the royal-feeling "Reverse Rock". It is not about walking with the wind on your shoulders or riding a motorcycle down the beach, but it is a badass rock 'n' roll song about personal mischievous schemes. Comparing life to school, "School" is an appeal to cherish one's own individuality. ENTAI" is a song that sings about the inner life of an erotic guy while pushing forward with American and open-minded riffs. The title track, "EASY LIFE," is the title track of the album, and it is a song with a lot of twists and turns, as if the history of rock music from Chuck Berry onward is packed into one song. Also, all songs on this album feature drummer Wataru (from PE'Z), who also produced PE'Z's previous album OH! was produced by NEMO, so this album is a way of returning the favor. It is more powerful, more aggressive, and more groovy. The modern pop music world is cluttered with supercilious cheerleading songs. In the midst of such a world, the singer sings with a natural and flexible groove, without hiding his true feelings and the inadequacies of a man in his thirties. Many people can relate to his way of life and be saved by his songs. Live. Be straightforward! Be sensitive! Open a hole in today's society that is blocked on all sides!

ネモトラボルタ2 ~EASY LIFE~ / Nemotroubolter

30歳中頃に来て名盤完成!!4年振りとなるフルアルバムとしては、どこをとっても骨太で痛快な21世紀型ロックンロール!1997年にデビューし、先鋭的なセンスと時代のグルーブを食いつくし、音楽マニアと流行に敏感な若者から絶大な支持を得たバンド、cool drive makers。その才能が故かアルバムごとに多様にスタイルを変化させ、バンドの本質が見え辛かった印象も否めない。そのcool drive makers の活動休止から7 年。ソングライターかつフロントマンだったネモがようやく覚醒した。ネモトラボルタのオリジナルメンバーであり、参謀役のギタリスト兼共同ソングライターのニコラス・ケイ、当初はサポートの立場からメンバーに正式加入したハルー・ポッタの力も加わり、一番の得意分野であるブルースを基盤とした黒いグルーブに焦点を絞り、「オレたちはこれしかできません!」と言わんばかりの開き直り具合は、ロックンロールとは一個人の叫びが世界に伝染していくものだと再認識させる。まずいきなりニコラス・ケイの豪快なギターリフから始まり、ハルー・ポッタのうねるベースがユニゾンしてくる王道感満載の「逆走ロック」。肩で風を切って歩くわけでもなく、バイクで海岸を飛ばすわけでもないが、個人的なふしだらな企みをイナセに歌う、これぞワルなロックンロール。人生を学校生活に例えて、自分らしさを大切にしようと訴える「SCHOOL」。アメリカンで開放的なリフでグイグイ突き進みながらも、エロ野郎の小市民的内面を高らかに歌い上げる「ENTAI」。チャックベリーからのロックの歴史を一曲に詰め込んでみたようなコロコロ変わる展開が痛快なアルバムタイトル曲「EASY LIFE」など、あっと言う間の全12 曲。また今作は、全曲ドラマーとして航(from PE'Z) が参加。PE' Z の前作 OH! YEAH! PARTY!!はNEMO がプロデュースしている事から、恩返しした形になっている。よりパワフルに、よりアグレッシブに、よりグル-ヴィーさが増している。上から目線の応援ソングにまみれた現代のポップミュージック界。そんな中、30 代の男のダメさも本音も包み隠さず、天性のしなやかなグルーブに乗せて歌い上げる。そんな生き様に共感し、救われる人も少なくないはずだ。生きろ。テキトーに!!繊細に!!八方ふさがりの現代社会に風穴開け
