Description

[Machine Translation] For all those who believe in the power of music. A monster album for the Japanese guitar rock scene. If the previous self-titled album "Gash" was an "album of will", this "Seminecia" is an "album of existence". Compared to the previous album, in which the band needed to be unified by strong willpower due to the immediate aftermath of the member change, the four members are already breathing as a single entity, and the difference is significant. An airy space prevails throughout the 12 songs, with very little emphasis on the "forced" or "forced". It is as if they were strumming a guitar and singing "La la la la la..." for the first time. The drums and bass are solidly grounded, over which the imaginative guitars dance with a minimum number of notes, and the melodies are cool, melancholy, and beautiful. The elimination of dramatic elements, on the contrary, brings out the good qualities of the simplicity of the songs. The single "Over the Rainbow" is an intense and energetic song, but the overall impression of the album is rather calm and transparent. The band has experienced a new turning point with each new album, but the sound of this album is the closest to their true colors. The four smiling faces of the band members, who believe in the power of music, can be seen on this album.

Description in Japanese

セミネチア / Gash

音楽の力を信じるすべての人へ。日本語ギターロックシーンにとんでもないモンスターアルバム登場。★セルフ・タイトルを冠した前作『Gash』を"意志のアルバム"とするならば、この『セミネチア』は"存在のアルバム"である。メンバー・チェンジ直後ということもあり、強い意志の力でバンドをまとめる必要があった前作と比べると、もうこの4人は一つの存在として呼吸している、その違いは大きい。全12曲を通して風通しの良い空間が広がり、無理や強調がほとんどない。ここにあるのは、まるで初めてギターをかき鳴らして「ラララ・・・」と歌った時のような、原初のみずみずしさそのものだ。ドラムスとベースがしっかりと地面を固め、その上を必要最小限の音数で想像力をかきたてるギターが舞い、ひんやりと哀愁を帯びた美しいメロディが映える。ドラマティックを排したことで、逆にシンプルな曲の良さがくっきりと浮かび上がってくる。シングルになった「オーバーザレインボウ」は激しく勢いのある曲だが、アルバム全体の印象はむしろ穏やかで透明だ。アルバムを出すごとに新たな転機を経験してきたバンドだが、今度のサウンドは彼らの素の姿に最も近い気がする。音楽の力を信じて、屈託なく笑う4人の顔が見える。
