[Machine Translation] The first full-length album in eight years by the three members spinning a jet-black sound is now complete! This album is the first full-length album in eight years by these three musicians, who weave a jet-black sound. The album was recorded with Tomokazu Sugimoto (contrabass) and Yoshiya Taruei (piano) using a single microphone (two microphones) in a very simple one-shot recording. The work is powerful, lustrous, and deep, like the Japanese black "Jet-Black" that appears over time and changes its venom. In addition to seven original songs with a unique world view, the album also includes two covers of "Aishiteru/Yone Yone Yone Club" and "Kassai/NAOMI CHIAKI". Asa's voice soaks into the heart of the listener, and the bass and piano that create a powerful atmosphere convey a sense of rawness, strength, tenderness, and tension.

漆黒の音を紡ぎだす3人による8年ぶりフルアルバム完成! 本作品はヴォーカリストAsaの声色を存分に堪能できる。杉本智和 (コントラバス)、樽栄嘉哉 (ピアノ)とともに、マイク1カ所 (2本)で極めてシンプルに一発録音。時を重ね、また毒を変化させ現れる、日本の黒「漆黒」のように、力強く艶やかで、深みのある作品。また、独特の世界観を持つオリジナル7曲に加え、「愛してる/米米クラブ」「喝采/ちあきなおみ」のカヴァー2曲も収録。心に染みこむAsaの歌声と、力強くつくりあげていくベースとピアノの生生しさ、強さ、優しさ、緊張感なども伝わってくる。
