"オランダを拠点に活動するアーティストJonny Nashが新作ソロ・アルバム『Once Was Ours Forever』を携えてMelody As Truthに戻ってきた。2023年の「Point Of Entry」をベースにしたこの11曲のコンポジション・コレクションは、フォーク、アンビエント・ジャズ、ドリームポップの間のどこかで点と点を難なく結びつけながら、Nashの没入的でゆっくりと広がっていく世界に我々をさらに引き込んでいく。

Point Of Entryがゆったりとした昼間のアンビエンスが特徴的だったのに対し、Once Was Ours Foreverは夕暮れと霞んだ光に包まれ、ゆっくりと流れる夕日のように展開していく。穏やかな指弾きギター、質感のある筆致、浮遊感のあるメロディー、リバーブのかかったヴォーカルが幾重にも重なり、瞬間が浮かんでは儚く消えていく。"

Melody As Truth:

"Netherlands-based artist Jonny Nash returns to Melody As Truth with his new solo album, ‘Once Was Ours Forever.’ Building on 2023’s ‘Point Of Entry,’ this collection of eleven compositions draws us further into Nash’s immersive, slowly expanding world, effortlessly connecting the dots somewhere between folk,
ambient jazz and dreampop.

While ‘Point Of Entry’ was characterised by it’s laid-back, daytime ambience, ‘Once Was Ours Forever’
arrives wrapped in shades of dusk and hazy light, unfolding like a slow-moving sunset. Built from layers of gentle fingerpicked guitar, textural brush strokes, floating melodies and reverb-soaked vocals, moments come and go, fleeting and ephemeral.

From the cosmic Americana of ‘Bright Belief’ to the lush, layered shoegaze textures of ‘The Way Things Looked’, Nash’s versatile guitar playing lies at the heart of this album, gently supported by a cast of
collaborators who each add their unique touches. Canadian ambient jazz saxophonist Joseph Shabason makes a return appearance, providing his delicate swells to ‘Angel.’ Saxophone is also provided by Shoei Ikeda (Maya Ongaku), cello by Tomo Katsurada (ex-Kikagaku Moyo) and Tokyo acid folk artist Satomimagae (RVNG) lends her haunting multilayered vocals to ‘Rain Song.’

As with much of Nash’s work, ‘Once Was Ours Forever’ deftly finds an equilibrium between softness and weight, offering the listener ample space to interpret and inhabit the music on their own terms. Through his uncanny ability to blend the pastoral and the profound, the idyllic and the insightful, ‘Once Was Ours Forever’ arrives as a tender and understated offering, infused with warmth and compassion.
