Description

[Machine Translation] New single to mark the start of the next 10 years for the newly formed KARAKUSAKAKEI! FRAGILE E.P." is the long-awaited first release from the newly-formed Tape Recorders. All three songs on this album were written after the new organization was formed last year. Kiyotaka Komori (vo, gu) himself recorded and mixed the songs with a DIY spirit, as if to regain his original intentions. The unforgettable initial impulse in the rough texture of the sound and the depth that comes from the passage of time are different from any of their previous works. Mastering was done by Kenshi Kario ( YAKEN STUDIO, I am not like this ), the recording engineer of their first album "Kikoeru", jacket design by Shinya Hanabusa ( SUSAVI ), the front man of "Far France", the band in which Takahashi used to play drums, and the production team of SUSAVI), who used to be the frontman of "Far France," the band in which Dr. Takahashi used to play the drums, and old allies with whom he has known for a long time. Fragile" in the title means "fragile or fragile. It is the very name of the Fragile Tape Recorders. This album marks the start of a new decade for the band.

Description in Japanese

FRAGILE E.P. / 壊れかけのテープレコーダーズ

新体制壊れかけ、次の10年の門出となるニューシングル発売! 今作『FRAGILE E.P.』は新体制壊れかけのテープレコーダーズの待望の初音源である。収録の3曲はいずれも昨年新体制になってから作られた楽曲。録音とミックスを小森清貴(vo、gu)自らが手がけ、初心を取り戻すかのようなDIY精神で製作された。荒い音の質感に込められた忘れることなき初期衝動と、年月を経たからこその深みは、かつてのいずれの作品とも異なる。マスタリングには彼らの1stアルバム『聴こえる』のレコーディングエンジニアを手がけた狩生健志(YAKEN STUDIO、俺はこんなもんじゃない)、ジャケットデザインにはかつてドラムス高橋が在籍したバンド「Far France」のフロントマンであった英真也(SUSAVI)、旧知の縁の古い盟友達を起用した。表題にもある「フラジャイル」とは「脆さ、壊れやすさ」を意味する。それはつまり壊れかけのテープレコーダーズという名そのものを現すことばである。次の10年へ向けての、新たなバンドの門出となる作品がここに完成した。
