Description
[Machine Translation] Debut album by THE SINGLES, a 4 piece mod guitar pop band from Detroit, USA. Produced by Jim Diamond of THE WHITE STRIPES. As the members themselves have stated, the album combines the melodies of 60s/70s pop music like early THE BEATLES, THE ZOMBIES, BEACH BOYS and Buddy Holly with the punkish energy of early BUZZCOCKS, ONLY ONES and FLAMING GROOVIES. It is a wonderful retro-modern guitar pop with the punkish energy of the early BUZZCOCKS, ONLY ONES, and FLAMING GROOVIES. The band has already appeared at various festivals in their home country of the U.S., and has been on heavy rotation on the radio since before the album's release, so their reputation and expectations are quite high. Jangly guitars, sweet vocals, chorus harmonies by all members, energetic and powerful rhythms, and sweet and catchy songs are of such high quality that it is hard to believe that they are newcomers. This is a historical masterpiece that can be confidently recommended to old rock fans as well as recent guitar pop fans such as LOLAS, SLOAN, VELVET CRUSH, and THE POSIES, etc. They are scheduled to visit Japan as early as November.

Better Than Before / The Singles
アメリカ・デトロイト出身の4ピースMODギターポップ・バンドTHE SINGLESのデビューアルバム。プロデューサーはTHE WHITE STRIPESでしられるJim Diamondが担当。メンバー自身が公言している通り、初期THE BEATLES,THE ZOMBIES,BEACH BOYSやBuddy Holly等の60/70年代ポップミュージック風のメロディーに、初期BUZZCOCKS,ONLY ONESやFLAMING GROOVIESの持つパンキッシュなエナジーを併せ持ったレトロでいてモダンな素晴らしいギターポップ。既に本国アメリカでは様々なフェスティヴァルに出演し、ラジオではアルバムリリース前からヘヴィーローテーションでオンエアーされており、彼らの前評判と期待はかなり高くなっています。ジャングリーなギターに甘いヴォーカル、メンバー全員によるコーラス・ハーモニー、エネルギッシュでパワフルなリズム、そして甘くキャッチーな楽曲は、新人とは思えぬ程高いクオリティーです。オールドロック・ファンからLOLAS,SLOAN,VELVET CRUSHやTHE POSIES等最近のギターポップ・ファンにまで自信を持ってお奨めできる歴史的名盤です。11月には早くも来日が決定しています。
