Description

[Machine Translation] Urban Synth Pop by NZCA/LINES, UK Indie's most promising handsome male vocalist! This is the indie R&B that's been talked about! The debut album from the talented producer of Metoronomy and Simian Mobile Disco! The silky voice blending into the electro-pop sound is a brilliant and elegant piece of work! Indie R&B has been suddenly booming as post-chillwave since last year. The new generation of urban soul music spun out by James Blake has been spreading alternatively, not only in the club scene where post-dubstep is thriving, but also in the indie scene. Synth-pop, such as chillwave and synthwave, which is the mainstream of the current scene, is entering a new phase. Toro y Moi's second album "Underneath the Pine", How To Dress Well's debut album "Love Remains", Inc.'s EP "3" signed with [4AD], and the UK's media outlet FACT has announced the release of their new album, "The Pine". While some R&B-tinged hits and hot releases are starting to appear, such as Weeknd's new album "Love Remains", which debuted at number one in the UK's most influential media outlet FACT's annual chart and is about to be released on CD, the music industry has been producing alternative electronic music since the 1990s, and has recently seen the release of Grimes' (now 4AD) and Black NZCA/LINE, a sweet masked dude with a dapper appearance, makes his debut from LOAF, a sister label of Lo Recordings, a long-established UK label that has been producing alternative electronic music since the 1990s and has recently been in the news for releases by Grimes (now 4AD) and Black Devil Disco Club. Produced by Ash Workman of Metronomy and Simian Mobile Disco, this album is based on the retro-futuristic sounds of the 80's (electro, disco, funk), and is a carefully crafted piece of music with a variety of electronic tones and developments. The album is a synth-pop album with a fresh and alternative content that has not been seen in recent years, breaking away from the lo-fi, shoegaze, and ambient feel of current chillwave. It is a synth-pop album with a fresher, more alternative content than in recent years.

UKインディ期待のイケメン男性ボーカルNZCA/LINESによるアーバン・シンセ・ポップ!これぞ噂のインディR&B !!MetoronomyやSimian Mobile Discoも手がける敏腕プロデューサーを迎えた満を持してのデビュー作!エレクトロ・ポップ・サウンドに溶け込むシルキー・ボイスが何とも憎いどこまでも伊達な鮮やかな一枚!!?昨年よりポスト・チルウェイヴとして俄に沸き立つインディR&B。 James Blakeが紡ぎ出した新世代のアーバン・ソウル・ミュージックはオルタナティブな波及を見せ、ポスト・ダブステップで盛り上がるクラブ・シーンのみならず、インディ・シーンにもその空気感は伝染、 現行シーンのメインストリームであるチルウェイヴやシンセ・ウェイヴなどのシンセ・ポップは新たなる局面を迎えています。チルウェイヴの一部でもありますが、Toro y Moiのセカンド・アルバム『Underneath the Pine』、来日も記憶に新しいHow To Dress Wellのデビュー・アルバム『 Love Remains 』、[4AD]とサインを交わしたInc. のEP『3』、 そしてUK最有力メディアFACTでは年間チャート一位となりCDのリリースも控えるWeekndなど、R&Bを匂わすヒット作や話題作も出始める中、90年代よりオルタナティブなエレクトロニック・ミュージックを発信し続け、最近ではGrimes (現4AD)や Black Devil Disco Clubのリリースで話題となったUKの老舗レーベル[Lo Recordings]の姉妹レーベル[LOAF]より甘いマスクの伊達男NZCA/LINEがデビューです。 プロデューサーにMetronomyやSimian Mobile Discoを手がけるAsh Workmanを迎えた本作は、80年代のレトロ・フューチャリスティックなサウンド(エレクトロ 、ディスコ、ファンク)を下地にしながらエレクトロニックの多彩な音色と展開で綿密に作り込んだ楽曲を構築、そこへR&Bテイストの艶やかなボーカルのレイヤーを織り交ぜ見事に現代のアーバン・ポップスへと仕上げた、現行チルウェイヴでありふれるローファイ、 シューゲイズ、アンビエント感から抜け出た近年にはないフレッシでオルタナティブな内容のシンセ・ポップ・アルバムとなりまし
