Description

[Machine Translation] The Falls are one of the most important bands on the UK Rock scene today, winning NME AWARDS and Q AWARDS, headlining festivals such as Bestival, Latitude, and Parklife, and once again captivating the world with their world-class sound. The Falls are one of the hottest bands on the UK rock scene. Their long-awaited fourth album, their first in two years, is now available for purchase. The title track ( What Went Down ), the first single from the album, has already been aired on BBC Radio 1. The video and news of the album's release have been picked up by Pitchfork, NME, and many other media in the U.S. and U.K., indicating the high level of anticipation for the new album. The fourth album in the series was produced by James Ford, who has worked with Arctic Monkeys, Florence & The Machine, Mumford & Sons, and others. With him, Falls recorded the album in a 19th century water mill in the countryside of southern France. The resulting album presents the band with some of their most beautiful pop songs ever, with a primal urgency and intensity that sometimes touches the edge of madness. The lyrics, according to frontman Yannis, deal with themes of cultural identity, generational anxiety, cynicism, pessimism, and heart-breaking events. But on the flip side, he can be subversive, paranoid, and ambitious, or he can cut a sharp, cutting wit. With their last album, HOLY FIRE, they headlined festivals such as Bestival, Latitude, and Parklife, won Best Live Act at the Q Awards, and Best Single at the NME Awards, and went from being a college band in Oxford to one of the UK's leading rock bands. They have grown from a college band from Oxford to one of the UK's leading rock bands. The band has gone from being a college band in Oxford to one of the UK's leading rock bands, and 2015 is sure to be the year of the Foals.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

ホワット・ウェント・ダウン [輸入盤] / フォールズ

現代UKロック・シーンの最重要バンド=フォールズ。NME AWARDSやQ AWARDSの受賞にBestival、Latitude、Parklife等のフェス・ヘッドライナー・・・ワールド級に進化成長を遂げた彼等のサウンドが再び世界を虜にする。現在、UKロック・シーンで最も注目を集めるバンドの一つ、フォールズ。その彼等の約2年振りとなる待望の4thアルバムが発売となる。既にアルバムからの先行シングルとなるタイトル・トラック「What Went Down」はBBC RADIO 1でオンエア。また同じく公開されたビデオとアルバム発売のニュースは、PitchforkやNME等、数多くの英米メディアに取り上げられ、新作に対する期待の高さを伺える。通算4作目となる本アルバムのプロデュースを手掛けるのはアークティック・モンキーズ、フローレンス&ザ・マシーン、マムフォード&サンズ等を手掛けたジェイムス・フォード。彼と一緒にフォールズは、南フランスの田舎にある19世紀の水車小屋でレコーディングを行った。結果完成されたアルバムで彼等は、原始的な衝動や強烈さで、時には狂気の淵に触れたりしながら、バンド史上最も美しいポップ・ソングを聴くものに披露するのである。また歌詞においては、フロントマンのヤニス曰く、文化的アイデンティティや世代的不安、シニシズム、ペシミズム、そして心が折れる出来事などをテーマにしているという。しかしその反面、彼は破壊的で偏執狂的、野心的な面を見せたり、鋭い切り口の切れるウィットを切り出してくるのだ。前作『HOLY FIRE』で、Bestival、Latitude、Parklife等のフェスのヘッドライナーを務め、Q Awardsのベスト・ライヴ・アクト、そしてNME Awardsではベスト・シングルを受賞し、オクスフォードのカレッジ・バンドから、UKを代表するロック・バンドへと成長した彼等。現代UKロック・シーンの最重要バンドへ王手をかけた2015年は、間違いなくフォールズの年になるだろう。CD+DVDの限定盤も発売!
