Description
[Machine Translation] dip, one of Japan's leading alternative guitar rock bands and a favorite of Johnny Marr (ex.THE SMITHS), has released their new album "HOWL" and "OWL" in 2013, 9 months after 4 years in the making... The new album was completed in a short period of time for the first time in the band's history. - Here is dip's new challenge to build a "neue welt (new world)". Includes 13 songs including " HASTY ", " melmo ", " It's late " (newly recorded), which were inserted in the latest movie "CROWS EXPLODE" directed by Toshiaki Toyoda. The album contains 13 songs including "HASTY", "melmo", and "It's late" (newly recorded). The title of this new album, which means "new world" in German, is certainly a new horizon for dip. This experience seems to be reflected in the new album. When "HOWL" and "OWL" were released simultaneously last July, he already had the idea of "expressing something darker and colder next," and he says of the completed new album, "I feel the brightness of the album 'HOWL' was necessary to separate the darkness of the past from that of the present. Perhaps it is not because he was in Europe in late autumn, when the days are short and the land is hard and cold, but "neue welt" has a chilling coolness to it. The album has a dark side with distorted guitars, psychedelia with a bottomless beat and a sense of tension, pop numbers with thrilling bouncing guitars, fantastically sounding guitars, sad ballads with dry lyrics, and heavy tunes with a gentle touch. With Hosokaiyo's keys coloring the sound, "neue welt" was enveloped in a darkness that increased in scale while maintaining dip's signature flavor. It is the color of a gaze that looks deeper into one's inner self. Looking back, "HOWL" and "OWL" were the return point of the path that the three original members - Yamaji Kazuhide (Vo,G), Yasushi Nagata (B), and Noriyuki Nakanishi (Ds) - had been walking since their reunion in 2007 after a seven-year interval. Perhaps they were able to see the next path after having exhausted themselves there. The person who gave him the push to continue on his new path was film director Toshiaki Toyoda, a close friend of Yamaji's. Toyoda has also worked with Yamaji on "Nine Souls," a film that was released in 1985. He has worked on the soundtracks for films such as "Nine Souls," and has also been involved in dip's music videos and live performances.
