Description
[Machine Translation] Maxi single of "Self-Seeking Shyagare" including the sound source of 2003 FUJI ROCK. The maxi-single is available at ....... What does this word make you think of? Jean-Luc Godard's movie of the same name? Or the Sex Pistols or Kenji Sawada's song of the same name? All of them are correct. The band has released three albums so far: WILD ROOM, SWINISH TOWN, and DECADANCE PIERROT. In these albums, the band has been presenting a spirited punk rock and neo-swing jazz sound based on swing, bebop, mode, cool, and other jazz styles from the 40s through the 60s, and has stripped it down to the bare essentials. The word "jazz" in a word nowadays refers to a wide variety of styles and genres, from crossover to rock. Because of this, it is not that I feel their presence is "new" without giving it up. However, the exquisite balance between Muto's vocals and the instruments played by the seven musicians certainly makes me feel that this is music that cannot be categorized as swing jazz, which is said to be music of the past. I felt this strongly on their new maxi-single "Comedy". Composition" and "improvisation" are intelligently intertwined in this piece, and the thrilling "improvisation" seen in their live performances and the tough, unwavering rhythmic "repetition" coexist without any sense of discomfort. The bass line follows the wind instruments and piano that sing swingy and funky melodies that make your body start moving on its own without conscious thought, as if it were carving deeper and deeper. The drum sound that rings out like an agitated drummer is just so pleasing. Once you understand how good it feels, you are all set. Jazz, rock, punk, or any other genre classification is irrelevant. You just want to surrender yourself to their music.
