Description

[Machine Translation] The "Magical Sound Mystery Tour with Helsinki Lambda Club" is the first album released since their last full-length album "ME to ME". This new album "Eleven plus two / Twelve plus one", their first release in four years since their last full-length album "ME to ME", is an ambitious album full of experimentation and adventure, which gives the impression of the band's future and the size and radicalness of their musical horizons, as if they were trying to make a catch copy like that. It is an ambitious work that overflows with a spirit of experimentation and adventure. The band's first attempt was to hire Felix Davis ( Metropolis Mastering, London ), who has worked for Lana Del Rey, Public Access TV, and Porridge Radio in the past, as the mastering engineer for this album. The album is based on their origins in the garage rock revival of the early 00's and US alternative/indie rock of the early 90's, but also includes 80's new wave/electro pop, funk, hip-hop, punk, psych rock, baroque pop, electro disco, Britpop, dream pop, and even 00's pop. Dream Pop, and even the Thamesbeat and Brooklyn scenes of the late 00's and early 10's. The band boldly introduces epoch-making sounds from the past, present, and various eras, resulting in the most experimental, chaotic, omnivorous, and varied sound creation in their history. This may give the impression that the album is very chaotic and cluttered, but no, this is where the band's sense of style really shines! The band's strong points are their catchy pop melodies, which are not easy to follow, and their catchy melodies, which are friendly and easy to listen to, and their melodies, which leave a "? The band's strong points are their catchy pop melodies that are not easy to follow, and their lyrics that are so hooky and addictive that you can't help but hum along to them, bringing unity to the diverse group of songs and transforming them into the "Helsinki Lambda Club sound". I have said it so casually, but this is actually something that is not so easy to do, and is the result of the exquisite balance of sampling, editing, and pop sensibilities that Japanese artists who have gone abroad and gained worldwide acclaim have possessed. The result is the perfect balance of sampling, editing, and pop sensibilities that only Japanese artists can achieve. Yes, Helsinki Lambda Club

Eleven plus two / Twelve plus one / Helsinki Lambda Club

「Helsinki Lambda Clubと行く、マジカル・サウンド・ミステリー・ツアー」。前回のフルアルバム「ME to ME」から約4年ぶりのリリースとなった今回のニューアルバム「Eleven plus two / Twelve plus one」は、そんなキャッチコピーでも付けたくなる様な、彼らの音楽的な懐の大きさや先鋭性、そして「バンドの未来」を感じさせる、これまでに無く実験精神と冒険精神溢れる意欲作だ。 過去にLana Del Rey、Public Access TV、Porridge Radioなどを手掛けたFelix Davis(Metropolis Mastering, London)をマスタリング・エンジニアに起用するというバンド初の試みが行われた今作、00年代初頭のガレージロック・リバイバルや90年代前半のUSオルタナティヴ / インディーロックという彼らの原点を基礎としつつ、80年代のニューウェイヴ / エレクトロポップ、ファンクやヒップホップ、パンク、サイケロック、バロックポップ、エレクトロ・ディスコ、ブリットポップ、ドリームポップ、更には00年代終盤~10年代初頭のテムズビートやブルックリン・シーンまで、過去現在、様々な時代を彩ったエポックメイキングなサウンドを大胆に導入しており、バンド史上最も実験的で、カオスなまでに雑食でバラエティーに富んだ音作りに仕上がっている。 なんて言い方をすると、凄く雑多で取り散らかったアルバムという印象を与えてしまうかもしれないが、いやいや、そこは彼等のセンスの見せどころ!バンドのストロング・ポイントとも言える、一筋縄ではいかないが人懐っこいまでにポップでキャッチーなメロディーと、「?」を残しつつも自然に口ずさんでしまうくらいにフックと中毒性のあるリリックが、多様性に満ちた楽曲群に統一性をもたらし、バッチリ「Helsinki Lambda Clubなサウンド」にトランスフォームさせてしまっているのだ。 サラッと言ってしまったけど、これって実はそう簡単には出来ない事で、言うなればこれまでに海外に飛び出し、ワールドワイドな評価を得てきた日本人アーティスト達が持っていた、日本人ならではの絶妙なバランス感覚のサンプリング&エディット・センスとポップ・センスが成せる技なのだ。そう、Helsinki Lambda Club
