Music In The Air

[Machine Translation] It has been three years since Calm's 3rd album "New Dimensions of The World", which evoked the sounds of Brian Eno, Sigur Ros, and E.C.M., etc. This is the 4th solo album released by KENKOU, Calm's brother and the drummer of Pepe California. The fragile yet beautiful and warm sound of the album remains unchanged, but this time takashi kato of CHUB DU adds vocals that have never been heard before, adding new colors and taking the listener on a deep journey. Yuichiro Kato's (L.E.D., etc.) sax solo is also excellent on the gentle and beautiful middle ballad "By Your Side" and "Spread My Wings," as well as the languid and beautiful "Soul of the Heart" and "The Soul of the Heart". The title song "M10", which makes one's consciousness fly away and one's chest tighten as the second half of the song progresses, and the warm "Happiness", to which haruka nakamura's guitar adds a touch of color, are also included in the album. Happiness", a warm song with colorful guitar by haruka nakamura, and "Harmony" with beautiful piano by sumilady, the key player of KINGDOM AFROCKS, are just a few of the topics covered on this album.

Brian EnoやSigur Ros 、E.C.M.関連のサウンドなどを想起させた 3rdアルバム「New Dimensions of The World」から約3年Calmの実弟、Pepe CaliforniaではDr.担当のKENKOUが放つ4枚目のソロアルバム。儚くも美しく温かいサウンドはそのままに、今作では今までになかったヴォーカルをCHUB DUのtakashi katoが披露し、新たな彩りを加え聴き手を深い旅へと連れて行く。アルバム1枚を通してまるで物語でも聴いているような流れやストーリー性にさらに磨きがかかり聴き手を引き込んでいく。Yuichiro Kato (L.E.D.,他)のSaxソロも素晴らしく、優しく美しいミドルバラードの「By Your Side 」「Spread My Wings」や、けだるくどこかFishmansをも感じさせるような「By Starlight 」、後半にいくにつれて意識が飛ばされ胸が締め付けられるタイトルソングのM10、haruka nakamuraのGt.が彩りを添える温かな「Happiness」、前作に引き続きKINGDOM☆AFROCKSのKey.担当sumiladyのピアノが美しい「Harmony」など話題も満載。
