Emulsification [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]

[Machine Translation] This is the 2nd ALBUM after a year and 8 months. Emulsification" is directly translated as "emulsification. Emulsification" is an "intermediary operation to stabilize something that is not stable," in which a certain catalyst is added to make things that normally do not mix, such as water and oil, dissolve into each other. We hope to deliver music that enriches people's lives by combining the "joy" of enjoying music with the "worries and thoughts" they have in their daily lives.

約1年8ヶ月ぶりとなる2nd ALBUM。『Emulsification』は、直訳すると"乳化"。水と油のように本来は混ざり合わないものでも、ある触媒を1つ入れることで互いが溶け合う、「安定していないものを安定させるための媒介操作」のことを言う。普段の暮らしの中で抱える"悩みや想い"と音楽を楽しむ"喜び"が共存して、人生が豊かになるような音楽を届けたいという想いを込めた。シングル曲「Gotta Find A Light」「What's Gonna Be?」のほか、EPから「Please Please Please」、日本語歌詞も取り入れマーチングとアフリカンビートを織り交ぜたアップビートな「Keep On Marching」のほか、カップリングツアーを行い親交を深めたLUCKY TAPESのKai Takahashiとの共同アレンジによる「Magic」など、今作でもバンドの多種多様な音楽性を遺憾無く発揮させた13曲を収録。そのほか、踊Foot Worksのギタリスト・Tondenhey(M8)との共同アレンジ曲や、ギタリスト・是永巧一(M7)、キーボーディスト・山本健太(M9・11)、Sax・村上大輔、Trumpet・チャンケン、Trombone・NAPPI(M2・3・5)といったアーティストがレコーディングに参加。 初回生産限定盤には、初めてのライブDVDを特典として付属。今年5月25日に行った"FIVE NEW OLD ASIA TOUR 2019"ツアーファイナルのマイナビBLITZ赤坂公演を全20曲フル収録。
