Kicking Up The Dust [Import Disc]

[Machine Translation] The Britpop legend returns...! CAST, which was formed by John Power after the breakup of THE LA'S, has completed its latest album, the sixth in total, and has been a huge presence in the Britpop movement of the late 90's. The band's high pop sensibility is still intact, but now with a deeper, more modern CAST sound! The band's sixth album, CAST's latest, is a deeper, more modern version of CAST's sound that still retains the band's soaring pop sensibility. Unfortunately, Peter Wilkinson does not participate in this album, but Jay Lewis, who was a member of THE LA'S when they reunited, has been invited as a new bassist, and the band consists of John Power, Liam 'Skin' Tyson ( g ), Keith O'Nell ( dr ), and Jay Lewis (b). Produced by Alistair Groves, who specializes in guitar-oriented rock sounds. The album is not a "rehash of the CAST sound of the past," but a "CAST sound of today, as played by today's CAST" and successfully encapsulates this sound.

ブリットポップの伝説が再び・・・! THE LA'S解散後にジョン・パワーが中心となって結成した、90年代後半のブリットポップ・ムーヴメントで絶大な存在感を放つあのCASTが、通算6作目となる最新作を完成させた。あの高まるポップ・センスはそのままに、より深みのある現代のCASTサウンドが、今高らかに鳴り響く! 残念ながら今作にはPeter Wilkinsonは参加していないのだが、新たにベーシストとしてTHE LA'Sの再結成時のメンバーでもあったJay Lewisを迎え入れ、John Power、Liam 'Skin' Tyson (g)、Keith O'Nell (dr)、そしてJay Lewis (b)というラインナップで発表する今作。プロデュースを担当するのは、ギター・オリエンテッドなロック・サウンドを得意とするAlistair Groves。ジョン・パワーの目指すサウンドに新たな感性を注ぎ込み、「過去のCASTサウンドの焼き直し」ではなく「現代のCASTが鳴らす、今のCASTサウンド」を見事にアルバムに封じ込めることに成功している。
