Back Yard

[Machine Translation] ZEEKO, who has been highly acclaimed both in Japan and abroad as KEY OF KNOWLEDGE with KINKA, has released his long-awaited 1st Album " BACK YARD " from his own label [unchain]. Release !!!!!!! ZEEKO has attracted attention from a wide range of people, including KZA ( FORSE OF NATURE ) and Keiichi Sogabe, whose 12inch "BACK YARD EP" charted in a certain magazine as the BEST DISC of 2006. The album starts with "FREAK", a shocking track that creates a unique world with an abstract-like beat that develops after the ethnic space created by the gently walking percussion, followed by "BACK YARD", a masterpiece and the title track that locks you into a development where various worlds slowly overlap and take over from the space gently enveloping you as only ZEEKO can do. The piano and percussion play nimbly, crossover, and develop over and over, gradually increasing the tension and dominating the space with "STORM", and the cool downbeat track "OUTRO", the last track of the show. !!!!! Of course, ZEEKO unleashes his best with a total of 8 tracks, including the 12inch recordings that sold out instantly: !!!!!
