Description

[Machine Translation] This is the first new album in 2 years and 3 months from Takuma Watanabe aka Combo Piano, who has collaborated with various artists in Japan and abroad, and started the band sighboat with Yanako Uchida and Masato Suzuki (little creatures) in 2004. Takuma Watanabe aka Combo Piano, who has collaborated with various artists in Japan and abroad and started a band called "sighboat" with Yayako Uchida and Masato Suzuki (little creatures) in 2004, has arrived at a new frontier. The result is high-quality pop music with a sound that could be called "rock" after post-rock. Six of the eight songs on this album feature vocals. The album features Emmett Kelly, a young guitarist/vocalist from Chicago known for supporting Beth Orton on tour, as a vocalist, and Mark Borthwick, a charismatic figure in the art photography world, also participates in reading/voice with his daughter, Bibi. Also, sighboat member and fellow sighboat member, Yanako Uchida, makes an overwhelming presence on vocals for the fifth track, "Chain Reaction". Guitarists who play a key role in the sound are Takuma Watanabe himself, Brandon Ross, Takuji Aoyagi (little creatures), and Yuta Segawa, a member of the Sendai-based electronic post-rock unit Subtle, who is also Takuma Watanabe's hometown. Each guitarist's individuality is brought to life in the music of this album, which makes extensive use of feedback.

Description in Japanese

Growing Up Absurd / combo piano

トータスのジョン・マッケンタイアをドラマーに迎えた、コンボピアノ2年3ヶ月ぶりのニュー・アルバム。国内外の様々なアーティストとコラボレイトを続け、04年からは内田也哉子、鈴木正人(little creatures)とのバンドsighboatも始動させた渡邊琢磨 akaコンボピアノが辿り着いた新たな境地。それは、ポストロック以降のロックと呼ぶに相応しい響きをもった、良質なポップ・ミュージック。全8曲中6曲がボーカル曲。ベス・オートンのツアーサポートでも知られるシカゴの若手ギタリスト/ボーカリスト、エメット・ケリーをボーカリストとしてフィーチャーしているほか、アートフォト界のカリスマ、マーク・ボスウィックも愛娘のbibiとともにリーディング/ボイスで参加。またsighboatでも活動を共にする内田也哉子も、5曲目「Chain Reaction」のボーカルで圧倒的な存在感を示している。そしてサウンドの要となっているギターを奏でているのは、渡邊琢磨本人のほか、ブランドン・ロス、青柳拓次(little creatures)、渡邊琢磨と同郷で、仙台の電子ポストロックユニットSubtle(サトル)のメンバーでもある瀬川雄太。それぞれのギタリストの個性が、フィードバックを多用した本作の音楽に生かされている。
