The Line That Shapes the Coast of Us [Limited Edition]

[Machine Translation] Chalk Hands returns to the scene with a new album on the Dog Knights Productions label. Further expanding on the emo masterpiece established with their acclaimed debut "Don't Think About Death," Chalk Hands continue to explore the intersection of chaos and silence, introspection and passion. The album consistently reveals the unwavering sincerity that lies at the heart of their expression, and proves once again that this is the essence of emo. Since the release of their debut album, Don't Think About Death, Chalk Hands have toured extensively throughout the UK and Europe, playing with the likes of Touche Amore and Frail Body and continuing to present the forefront of contemporary heavy alternative music. Chalk Hands has performed at the ArcTanGent Festival (UK), one of the UK's most prestigious festivals, and at the Sonic Rites Festival (Finland), which represents the experimental heavy music of Scandinavia. The tour has also taken the band to Turkey, marking a quiet but solid milestone for the band as they continue to break new ground. As the title of the new album evokes the "coastline" as the edge and boundary of the human spirit, the band's expression is also in search of the next landing point. With the will to push their sound to new extremes, Chalk Hands now stands with unprecedented conviction and breadth. This album is brighter and more hopeful than its predecessor, but also darker and more profound - an album built on a vivid contrast of maximum intensity, and is a fitting piece of contemporary hardcore at the turn of the 2020s. Includes bilingual lyrics.

輪郭としての海岸線。Chalk Handsが、新作アルバムをDog Knights Productionsよりリリースし、シーンへ帰還する。高い評価を受けたデビュー作『Don't Think About Death』で築いたエモの名盤的地平をさらに拡張し、混沌と静寂、内省と激情が交差する地点を探り続ける本作。そこには一貫して、彼らの表現の核心に宿る揺るぎない誠実さが刻まれており、それこそがエモの本質であることを改めて証明している。デビュー作『Don't Think About Death』のリリース以降、Chalk Handsはイギリスおよびヨーロッパ各地で精力的にツアーを重ねてきた。Touche AmoreやFrail Bodyとの共演を果たし、現代ヘヴィ・オルタナティブ音楽の最前線を提示し続ける英国屈指のフェスティバルArcTanGent Festival (UK)、さらには北欧の実験的ヘヴィ・ミュージックを象徴するSonic Rites Festival (フィンランド)にも出演。ツアーはトルコにまで及び、新たな地平を切り拓くバンドにとって静かながらも確かなマイルストーンとなった。人間精神のエッジ、境界線としての「海岸線」を想起させる新作タイトルの通り、彼らの表現もまた次なる着地点を求めている。サウンドを新たな極限へと押し進める意志を携え、Chalk Handsは今、かつてない確信と広がりをもって立っている。本作は、前作と比べてより明るく希望に満ちる一方で、より暗く、より重厚でもある──その鮮やかな対比を最大の強度として構築されたアルバム。2020年代の折り返し地点に現れた、現代的激情ハードコア作品としてふさわしい一枚と言えるだろう。歌詞対訳付き。
