Description

[Machine Translation] In 2007, they have already completed an album reminiscent of "Chapter 2: OVERGROUND ACOUSTIC UNDERGROUND"! The album is full of beautiful, organic songs and passionate, large-scale lyrics that are sure to establish the band's identity and their place in the music world! The opening track "Bamboo leaf boat" is an Irish wind instrumental reminiscent of an act in a movie, and is a condensed version of OVERGROUND ACOUSTIC UNDERGROUND's unique smell. The third track, "Puppeteer," is a beautifully layered world created by the emotional lyrics, the interplay of Martin and Toshi-Low's vocals, and the sound of the violin. The fourth track, "Mask," with only Martin's vocals, violin, and Kohki's acoustic guitar, is a ballad that warms the listener's heart with its lullaby-like vocals that gently speak to the listener. The fifth track, "reportage," is a song with a plot of landscapes, with TOSHI-LOW's poetry-like vocals. The poem is internal, yet dramatically and quietly expands the scale of the song into an 8-minute long epic. Sound engineer Shinjiro Ikeda and jacket designer 7 STARS were invited to design this work.

2007年、早くも「第ニ章 OVERGROUND ACOUSTIC UNDERGROUND」を彷彿させるアルバムが完成!! オーガニックテイストな美しい楽曲、情熱的でスケールの大きい歌詞が存分に収められた内容は、彼らのアイデンティティと活動の場を確実に確立していく事必至!! オープニング曲「Bamboo leaf boat」は、映画の一幕を思い出させるようなアイリッシュの風が吹くインストで、OVERGROUND ACOUSTIC UNDERGROUNDの持つ独特な臭いが凝縮された楽曲。「all the way」は、軽快なギターのリズムにMARTINの印象的でありセンチメンタルな日本語と英語のヴォーカルが響く。3曲目「Puppeteer」では、情緒的でもある歌詞、MARTINとTOSHI-LOWの掛け合いのヴォーカル、バイオリンの音が美しく重なり世界を作り上げる。MARTINのヴォーカルとバイオリン、KOHKIのアコースティックギターだけで構成されている4曲目「Mask」は、まるで子守唄のような優しく語りかけるようなヴォーカルが聴くものの心を暖めてくれるバラード。そして5曲目「reportage」、ある土地の風景を奏でるような起承転結のある楽曲に、TOSHI-LOWのポエトリー風のヴォーカルが入る。その詩は内的でありながら、ドラマティックに、かつ静かに、大きくスケールを広げていく8分にも及ぶ大作。サウンドエンジニアに池田新治郎、ジャケットデザイナーに7 STARSを迎えた作品。
