Description

[Machine Translation] Breathing Melodies, Crossing Magic. The Notesist's miraculous return after 5 years! The Nozist's first new album in 5 years! Recorded in their home base of Munich, this is the first studio production with a band since "12" in 1995. The core members, the Archer brothers and Chico Beck, collaborated on this album, arranging their own songs in the studio, rehearsing them, and recording them live. The energetic compositions make the most of "this moment" and clearly capture the magic that was created with band members Theresa Loibl, Max Punctezar, Karl-Eval Lefset, and Andy Harvell. The quiet, introspective start of "Teeth" is followed by the single "X-Ray," in which the entire band creates a future anthem with peak energy, while the shimmering keys of "Propeller" skim over the surface of the water like bouncing stones. The Turning" is the album's most heartwarming melody. Recorded over the course of a week at Import Export, a non-profit art and music space, there is a hint of confidence that, while striving for perfection, allows the songs to breathe and mutate freely between the ears. And the guest appearances of local and international friends reflect the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Munich. Enid Vallue contributes vocals, Haruka Yoshizawa plays Taisho harp and harmonium, Tianping Christoph Chao plays clarinet, and Matthias Goetz plays trombone. The album includes a beautiful cover of Neil Young's "Red Sun" and "How the Story Ends" by the folk-pop group Lovers, as well as two cover songs.

ニュース・フロム・プラネット・ゾンビ / ザ・ノーツイスト

呼吸するメロディ、交差する魔法。ザ・ノーツイスト5年ぶり奇跡の帰還! ザ・ノーツイストの約5年振りとなる新作が登場!拠点となるミュンヘンでレコーディングされた今作は1995年の『12』以来となるバンド編成によるスタジオ制作。コアメンバーであるアーチャー兄弟とチコ・ベックによる共同制作の形がとられ、各自が持ち寄った楽曲をスタジオに集まってアレンジし、リハーサルの後にライブ・レコーディングされた。エネルギーに満ちた楽曲は"この瞬間"を最大限に発揮し、テレーザ・ロイブル、マックス・プンクテツァール、カール・イーヴァル・レフセット、アンディ・ハーベルらバンドメンバーとの間にマジックが生まれた瞬間をはっきりと捉えている。静かで内省的に始まる「Teeth」から一転、先行シングル「X-Ray」ではバンド全員が最高潮のエネルギーで未来のアンセムを創り出し、「Propeller」のきらめく鍵盤が石が跳ねるように湧き立つ水面をかすめている。そして、「The Turning」ではアルバムで最も心を温めるメロディを力強く創り出している。今作はアートと音楽のための非営利スペース Import Exportで1週間かけてレコーディングされたことで、完璧さを求めつつも、楽曲が耳のあいだで自由に呼吸して変異することを許すような、そんな自信が微かに感じられる。そして、地元および海外の友人たちがゲスト参加した事で、コスモポリタンなミュンヘンの空気を映し出している。エニッド・ヴァリューがヴォーカルで参加し、ハルカ・ヨシザワが大正琴とハルモニウム、ティエンピン・クリストフ・シャオがクラリネット、マティアス・ゲッツがトロンボーンで参加。ニール・ヤング「Red Sun」の美しいカバーとフォーク・ポップ・グループ Loversの「How the Story Ends」、2曲のカバー曲を収録。
