[Machine Translation] After an exciting tour of Japan, Blur fever has rekindled, and Blur frontman Damon Albarn, who has been working on numerous projects with his unique pop sensibility, is finally releasing his "first" pure solo album! This first solo album was recorded in 2013 at Damon's Studio 13 in West London. Produced by Richard Russell, president of XL Recordings, who previously worked with Damon on Bobby Womack's 2012 album "The Bravest Mine in the Universe," the album also features Brian Eno and Natasha Khan ( Brian Eno and Natasha Kahn ("Butt for Lassies") also guest on the album. Opening with "Everyday Robots," the album's title track and first single, the 12-song album shows listeners the true nature of Damon Albarn's talent. Albarn's career has expanded from Blur to Gorillaz, and has also included The Good, the Bad and the Queen, a project he formed with Tony Allen, Paul Simenon (formerly of The Clash), and Simon Tong (formerly of The Verve), a world music project in collaboration with musicians from the Republic of Mali, and a new album, "The Good, the Bad and the Queen," which was released in 2008.

This first solo album is the most "self-exploratory" album of his career, which has featured a variety of styles and collaborations, such as "Dr. Dee", an opera about John Dee, the mathematician, alchemist, and fortune teller of Elizabeth I, and "Africa Express", a collaboration event between Western artists and African artists. It can be said that this first solo album is the most "self-exploratory" album in his career. The songs on this album are more personal, influenced by Damon Albarn's own experiences from childhood to the present. The songs are also about the environment that surrounds us today, such as computer games, cell phones, and nature versus technology.

Description in Japanese

エヴリデイ・ロボッツ [輸入盤] / デーモン・アルバーン

大興奮の来日公演を終え、再びブラー熱が再燃するなか、独自のポップセンスで数々のプロジェクトで活動を続けるブラーのフロントマン、デーモン・アルバーンが、遂に「初」となる純粋なソロ・アルバムを発表する! デーモンが所有するウェスト・ロンドンにあるStudio 13にて、2013年にレコーディングされたこのファースト・ソロ・アルバム。プロデュースは、以前デーモンと共にボビー・ウーマックの2012年の作品、『ザ・ブレイベスト・マイン・イン・ザ・ユニバース』のプロデュースを手掛けた、XLレコーディングスの社長、リチャード・ラッセルが担当しており、ブライアン・イーノやナターシャ・カーン (バット・フォー・ラッシーズ)がゲストとして参加している。アルバムのタイトル・トラックであり、今作からのファースト・シングルとなっている「エヴリデイ・ロボッツ」で幕を開けるこの全12曲からなる作品は、デーモン・アルバーンという才能の「真の姿」をリスナーに見せつけてくれる作品だ。ブラーから始まり、ゴリラズへとその活動の場を広げ、それ以外にもトニー・アレンや元ザ・クラッシュのポール・シムノン、元ザ・ヴァーヴのサイモン・トングらと共に結成したプロジェクト「ザ・グッド、ザ・バッド・アンド・ザ・クイーン」、マリ共和国のミュージシャン達とコラボレーションしたワールド・ミュージック・プロジェクト「マリ・ミュージック」、西遊記を題材にしたオペラ作「モンキー: ジャーニー・トゥ・ザ・ウェスト」、エリザベス1世の占い師であり、数学者・錬金術者でもあったジョン・ディーをテーマとして作られたオペラ作「ドクター・ディー」、そして西洋のアーティストとアフリカのアーティストのコラボレーション・イベント「アフリカ・エクスプレス」など、様々なスタイル/コラボレーションを発表してきた彼のキャリアの中でも、この初のソロ・アルバムは最も「自己探求」的な内容を持つ作品だ、と言えるだろう。今作に収録されている楽曲の題材となっているのは、幼少期から現在に至るまでのデーモン・アルバーンの実体験に影響を受けた、より個人的な内容だ。そこには、コンピューター・ゲームや携帯電話、自然対テクノロジーといった現代の我々を取り巻く環境についても語られているという。
