Description

[Machine Translation] Following spiral chord, 54-71, and dry river string, contrarede original artists are Kate Sikora and her partner Lindsay Luedres, who performed at "Fuji Rock Festival 2009 - Rookie A GoGo". The original artists are Kate Sikora and her partner Lindsay Luedres, a girl duo. They travel back and forth between Tokyo and the U.S., releasing heartwarming, warm, tender, and heartfelt melodies. Pure. Straightforward. The encounter was really by chance. It was at a party in a club in the middle of the night. It must have been around 2 am. Two gaijin women in matching outfits appeared on stage. One had dark hair, bright eyes, and a shiny smile, and the other was a tall, slender, blonde woman who looked like she could be in a TV drama. They started the show with acoustic guitars, keyboards, a tiny glockenspiel, and an accordion in front of them. At first I laughed at her slowness, or to put it more bluntly, her unfamiliarity with the stage, but then I thought, "What? What is it? But then I found myself listening to the treasured melodies one after another . . . . It was gentle, warm, heartwarming, and sad at the same time. Lovely. Emotional. The pure melody pierced my heart. KATESIKORA from New Jersey and LINDSAY LUEDERS from Minnesota ...... formed the duo THE LOYAL WE in Tokyo. Originally, KATE was a solo artist in her home country and released an album "Grace In Rotation" in 2005. After that, they came to Japan and formed THE LOYAL WE. Kate's sound is more of a folk-pop style that combines positivity and delicacy, while LINDASY has built a fuzzy, dreamy world that is blue and sad. It's a miracle when their hearts, harmonies, and emotions are matched. In September 2008, they were warmly welcomed on a tour of Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka with Wan Wan (Satomi of DEERHOOF + Saya of TENNISCOATS). Although their stage presence was as usual, the whole venue was filled with smiles and hearts pounding.

HOMES / The Loyal We

spiral chord、54-71、dry river stringに続くcontraredeオリジナル・アーティストは「フジロック・フェスティヴァル 2009~Rookie A GoGo」にも出演したKate Sikoraと、相方Lindsay Luedresによるガールズ・デュオ。東京とアメリカを行き交いながら、ほのぼのと温かく、せつなくて優しい、心いっぱいのメロディーを放ち続けます。純粋そのもの。まっすぐそのもの。その出会いは本当に偶然でした。ある夜中のあるクラブのあるパーティーにて。午前二時位だったでしょうか。お揃いの衣装をまとった二人の女性の外人さんが登場。ひとりは黒髪のクリッとした瞳と笑顔がピカピカの、もうひとりはスラッと長身でドラマに出て来そうな金髪女性でした。アコースティック・ギター、キーボード、そしてちっちゃなグロッケンスピールとアコーディオンをチョコンと前に置いてショーはスタート。そのたどたどしさ、更に言ってしまうならば場慣れしていないそのステージに最初は苦笑いしていたのですが、あれ?あれ?と気が付くと、そこには宝のメロディーが次々と。。。。優しくて温かくてほのぼのとしていて、かつ切ない。愛おしい。エモい。どピュアな旋律がズバズバと突き刺さってしまったのです。ニュージャージー出身のKATESIKORAとミネソタ出身のLINDSAY LUEDERS……二人が東京で結成したデュオがTHE LOYAL WEです。元々KATE は本国でソロ・アーティストとして活動していて、05年にはアルバム『Grace In Rotation』を発表。その後に来日を果たし、THE LOYAL WEの結成に至りました。どちらかと言うとKATEが作りだすサウンドはポジティヴさと繊細さが同居したフォーク・ポップ・スタイル、それに対し LINDASYは蒼くせつないファジーでドリーミーな世界を築いているのですが、そんな二人の唄心、ハーモニー、エモーションがマッチした時の奇跡と言ったら!ものすごく等身大で、ものすごく純粋なメロディーが滑らかに溢れ出て来るのです。2008年9月にわんわん(サトミ of DEERHOOF+さや of TENNISCOATS)と一緒に行なった東名阪ツアーでも二人は温かく迎えられました。相変わらずステージはたどたどしかったけれど、会場中が一気に笑顔と胸キ
