Description

[Machine Translation] The Kyoto-based musician/guitarist polar M, whose first album "northern birds" was released in October 2011, is now the talk of the town. The album is full of emotional melodies played mainly on the guitar, deep ambience, and an excellent sense of editing, creating soundscapes that seem to sink into the quiet of the night. Compared to their previous albums, the ambient elements are stronger, and the album has the feel of a total album with a unified image throughout. The title track, "the night comes down," features vocals by Natsuko Yanagimoto of rimacona, a unit that also participated in Mille-Plateaux's "clicks & cuts" compilation album. This is the first time for polar M to feature singing, which had previously been limited to instrumental music. The artwork is by Yanagimoto, who is also an illustrator. The jacket is a multi-sided plastic tray jewel jacket. A gimmick that allows the jacket to be freely made is adopted. The fixed format makes it possible to create a series of albums, making it fun to collect. Mastering was done at Schlein.jp studio by Kenichi Itogi, who has mastered for imagined records, Ryouondou Chaho, Pixel Junk, Descanso, and many others. The mastering was done by Kenichi Itogyo, who has mastered for imagined records, Ryouondou Chaho, Pixel Junk, Descanso, and many others.

Description in Japanese

the night comes down / Polar M

2011年10月にリリースしたファースト・アルバム『northern birds』が、話題となっている京都のミュージシャン/ギタリスト、polar M 渾身のセカンド・アルバム。ギターを中心に奏でられる情感溢れるメロディーと、深いアンビエンス、卓越した編集センスで静かな夜に沈みこんでいくようなサウンドスケープを描き出している。これまでのアルバムに比べてアンビエントな要素が強く、全編を通してイメージが統一されたトータルアルバムとしての趣がある。タイトル曲の「the night comes down」はMille-Plateaux のコンピレーション・アルバム『clicks & cuts』にも参加したユニットrimacona の柳本奈都子氏がヴォーカルで参加。これまでインストゥルメンタルのみだったpolar M 初の歌ものとなっている。アートワークはイラストレータでもある本人によるもの。プラスティックトレイジュエルの多面ジャケット仕様。自由なジャケットに出来るギミックを採用。固定フォーマットを採用しシリーズ化、コレクションする楽しみも。マスタリングは、シュラインドットジェーピーのスタジオにて、imagined records、涼音堂茶舗、ピクセルジャンク、デスカンソ等のマスタリングをつとめる糸魚健一が担当。低S/N 比を求められる現代マスタリングを実現している。
