Description
[Machine Translation] Innocent Days" is the new album by Swedish AOR band CROSSFADE, featuring Joran Erdman, an experienced singer who has sung in many bands and projects. The band was formed by Lars Halbach on guitar, Richard Stenstrom on keyboards, and Joran Erdmann on drums. The band's aim was to "transition from the 60's to the present day (Crossfade)". It was a relaxed AOR sound, neither hard rock nor metal. Their debut album "White On Blue" ( 2003 ) was released in Japan and created a stir with its high quality music. After that, they released their second album "Secret Love" in 2011 and their third album "Carousel" in 2018, and have been slowly developing their own music at their own pace. Now, after 5 years, they have released their 4th new album "Innocent Days". The music is unmistakably CROSSFADE, a West Coast sound brought into the modern age. The recordings are all based on real instruments such as horns and strings, and their music is brewing with spicy elements of Toto, Steely Dan, and The Doobie Brothers, and recognizable vocal arrangements reminiscent of Eagles and Queen. The way they brew their music. The warm sound that shows a relaxed expression is very pleasant. Mastering was done by Tony Cousins, who has worked on albums by Peter Gabriel and Elton John. The artwork is by Stephen Nee, known for his work with David Gilmour. The music is superb, full of a sense of color, and the playing is superb, with a sense of maturity. A must for fans of Steely Dan, Toto, Airplay, Pages, and Chicago. This album is another great collection of great songs and AOR sounds.

Description in Japanese
イノセント・デイズ / クロスフェイド
数々のバンド/プロジェクトで歌ってきた経験豊富なシンガー、ヨラン・エドマンをフィーチュアしたスウェーデンのAORバンド、CROSSFADEのニュー・アルバムがこの『Innocent Days』だ。ABBAやa-ha等トップ・バンドに関わった経歴を持つセッション・ミュージシャンであるギターのラーズ・ハルバックとキーボードのリチャード・ステンストロムが合流後、ヨラン・エドマンが加わってこのCROSSFADEは結成された。目指した音楽性は「60年代から現代への推移、移行(クロスフェイド)」。それはハード・ロックでもメタルでもないリラックスしたAOR系サウンドだった。デビュー作『White On Blue』(2003)は日本盤も発売され、質の高い音楽でシーンがざわつく。その後は2011年に2nd『Secret Love』を、2018年には3rdとなる『Carousel』を発売し、マイペースでじっくりと自らの音楽を育んできた。そして5年振りとなる4thニュー・アルバム『Innocent Days』が届けられた。その音楽は紛れもなくCROSSFADEであり、現代にもたらされたウェストコースト・サウンド。レコーディングはホーンやストリングス等すべてリアルな楽器がベースとなって構成されている。TotoやSteely Dan, The Doobie Brothersが持つスパイシーな要素と、EaglesやQueenを連想させるヴォーカル・アレンジが認識できる彼らの音楽醸造方法。リラックスした表情を見せる温かいサウンドがなんとも心地良い。マスタリングはピーター・ガブリエルやエルトン・ジョンのアルバムを手掛けたトニー・カズンズが担当。アートワークはデヴィッド・ギルモアで知られるスティーヴン・ニー。色彩感覚にあふれた極上の楽曲と円熟味を感じさせる見事なプレイ。表情豊かで透明感に包まれた穏やかな洗練されたサウンドが絶品だ。Steely DanやToto, Airplay, Pages, Chicagoファンは必聴!今作もグレイトな楽曲とAORサウンドが凝縮された仕上がりとなっています。
