Description

[Machine Translation] *Dana Jansen, the drummer of Akron/Family, has released a solo album under the name of Dana Buoy. The album is the most powerful tropical dream pop of the summer, with tender and haunting melodies, spacy synth-pop, and vibrant Afro-beats! Dana Bouy, the solo project of Akron/Family drummer, percussionist, and multi-instrumentalist Dana Janssen, has released her debut album on California's Lefse Records. Inspired by the emotions of love, the album's production began in a hut by a jungle/lagoon in Thailand, using only a laptop and sampler to create a tropical sound that seemed to be enchanted by the beauty of this paradise-like place. A few months later, in a studio in Brooklyn, NY, Dana completed the entire sound, adding drums, guitar, thumb piano, omnichord, analog synthesizers, iPad apps, etc., which he played almost single-handedly. Dana and his engineers were hit by the August 2011 earthquake in NYC and the subsequent Hurricane Irene, but they did not evacuate and worked through the process in isolation. The culmination of over a year of songwriting and travel experience is the album Summer Bodies. The album is the culmination of more than a year of songwriting and travel. It combines the gentle, haunting melodies and folky tastes of Paul Simon and Nick Drake with spicy synth pop and lively Afro beats, creating a tropical sound perfect for summer, which Dana calls "Tropicore. From the excitement of a beach party to the sadness of the end of summer, this is the strongest dream pop album yet, filled with the love and joy of summer!

サマー・ボデイーズ / デーナ・ブーイ

*国内盤のみ、ボーナストラック「Call To Be (Teen Daze Remix)」収録*歌詞・対訳付きアクロン/ファミリーのドラマーとして活躍する、デーナ・ジャンセンがDana Buoy(デーナ・ブーイ)名義でソロアルバムをリリース!優しく心に響くメロディー、スペイシーなシンセ・ポップ、躍動感溢れるアフロ・ビートが繰り広げる、この夏最強のトロピカル・ドリーム・ポップ!Teen Daze、Youth Lagoon、How To Dress Well、Dominant Legs等、話題のアクトをリリースする米カリフォルニアのLefse Recordsより、アクロン/ファミリーのドラマー/パーカッショニスト、そしてマルチ奏者であるDana Janssen(デーナ・ジャンセン)のソロプロジェクト、Dana Bouy(デーナ・ブーイ)がデビューアルバムをリリース!恋愛から生まれる感情をインスピレーションに、本アルバムの制作はタイのジャングルやラグーンのそばにある小屋でラップトップとサンプラーだけを用いて始まり、その楽園のような美しい場所に魔法をかけられたようなトロピカルなサウンドが形作られていきました。その数ヶ月後、NYブルックリンのスタジオで、デーナがほぼ1人で演奏したドラム、ギター、親指ピアノ、オムニコード、アナログ・シンセサイザー、iPadのアプリ等を加え全体のサウンドを完成。デーナと彼のエンジニアは、2011年8月にNYで起こった地震やその後のハリケーン・アイリーンに見舞われましたが、避難せず孤立した状況の中、作業をやり遂げたそうです。その1年以上に及ぶソング・ライティングや旅の経験の頂点となるのが、このアルバム「サマー・ボディーズ」。ポール・サイモンやニック・ドレイクの間を繋ぐような優しく心に響くメロディーとフォーキーなテイストに、スペイシーなシンセ・ポップと躍動感溢れるアフロ・ビートを融合させた、デーナ自身が「トロピコア」と呼ぶ夏にぴったりのトロピカルなサウンド。ビーチ・パーティーの賑やかさから夏の終わりの切なさまで、夏に捧げる愛と喜びの気持ちをぎゅっと閉じ込めた、最強のドリーム・ポップアルバムの誕生!
