日本のギタリスト頭士奈生樹のライブ音源です。以下、レーベルによる解説です。"オリジナルは自身のライブでCDR20枚程度販売されたのみだった自選ライブ音源集をリマスターCD再発。頭士自身が録音した音源のためエフェクターを踏む音やギターを搔き鳴らす生音まで聴こえる生々しい録音で、ライブという一回性の芸術の中で音のレイヤーが丁寧に重ねられてゆき、時空間に生起する様が記録されている。注目すべきは未発表曲「動物が死んだら」と「上昇する夜想曲」が収録されていることだが、1stアルバム「Paradise」でどこか牧歌的な雰囲気があった「童話」が覚醒するような激しく演奏されており、この曲のイメージを確実に更新するバージョンであることは間違いないだろう。さらにオリジナルCDRの収録時間の都合上カットされていた未発表曲「向こう岸の風景」をデジタルダウンロードコードに収録し、当初のアルバム構想が完成された" レーベルその他作品はこちら /// Click here to see more Advaita Records releases available at Tobira. ---------------------------------------- CD...

A song about someone else’s damage helps you understand your own, and puts you on to new mysteries. Stars look like grains of sand. On Little Kid’s new album and Orindal Records debut A Million Easy Payments, the urgency in Kenny Boothby’s voice matches the stakes of his lyrics, epic ballads and reveries that come at life from all angles and exposures, driving at and a little over the limits of self-reflection. The band’s lilting folk rock arrangements carry Boothby’s stories, occasionally lifting them skyward with flurries of cello samples, pedal steel, flute, and electric piano. It’s a record of depression and frustration that doesn’t stew in piety or aestheticize pain, that also explodes with life. Fragile and abundant. It’s a record with blood in its veins. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLittle Kid is a Toronto-based collaborative project that has existed in some form since 2009, and is currently comprised of Brodie Germain (drums, guitar), Paul Vroom (bass), Megan Lunn (vocals, banjo, keyboard), Liam Cole (drums, percussion), and Kenny Boothby (vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards). A Million Easy Payments, like the three Little Kid releases before it, was tracked, engineered, and mastered by Vroom. Vroom’s work renders a portrait of\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e Little Kid’s twin musical strengths — as a live act, a straight-ahead folk rock outfit, and as a group of creative, independent producers who want to mess things up. To that end, the record features several guest instruments: Eliza Niemi’s cello, Anh Phung’s flute, Seth Engel’s percussion, Peter Gill’s pedal steel, and Aaron Powell’s voice. Every so often, the boundaries fray. Chaotic flute layers transport the outro to “Beside Myself.” Banjo careens off the edge of “Something to Say.” The kick drum in “Bad Energy” is more than a heartbeat. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLike a minimalist composition, an Emily Dickinson poem, a Frankenthaler painting, early Sufjan Stevens, or the songs of many of Little Kid’s new labelmates at Orindal, A Million Easy Payments is brilliant insofar as it teems with texture and meaning under an outward image of simplicity. A peacock in sheep’s clothing. Its lyrical and musical density never comes at the expense of clarity or striking melodies. Like your favorite movie or novel, you come back to A Million Easy Payments again and again for the pleasure of its beauty, but also because it reveals something new every time. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLittle Kid has always centered around Boothby’s songwriting, and A Million Easy Payments proves his enormous skill many times over. He tackles the extended ballad tradition, zooming in and out with mind-bending control on “Bad Energy”: \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnd now your engine burns remains of ancient birds \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGo into town to drive around and then leave \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou tore a gash right clear through the atmosphere \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnd now there’s nothing that can buffer the heat \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut the sun is shining and your love is smiling \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn a moment getting warmed by a beam \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOf bad energy \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoothby’s writing is charged with love, absence, stagnation and change, often refracted through the lens of Christian thought, experienced by friends, exes, everyday people and Biblical characters. Later on in “Bad Energy,” Boothby jokes “if you’re only friendly with a dozen men\/ one might still kill you with a kiss on the cheek.” In “Eggshell,” a ghost reflects on his own death to his widow, a story based on the death of Boothby’s father: “ambulances came\/ weaving a whining siren down the highway\/ leaving a smiling silence in your life, babe.” The “I” sound woven in descending melodies. Two lanes of Boothby’s airy tenor. Two lanes of guitar. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAcross A Million Easy Payments, Boothby’s dexterity, rhythm, internal rhyming prowess, and ear for poetic sound are matched only by the pathos of his stories. The words are crafted deliberately, not to show off mastery, but to share hard-earned findings. To try and see the self in context and up close, and to prove the inquiry to be both futile and crucial. To dig around for God. The pool is murky. Not as reflective as we’d hoped. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist :

A song about someone else’s damage helps you understand your own, and puts you on to new mysteries. Stars look like grains of sand. On Little Kid’s new album and Orindal Records debut A Million Easy Payments, the urgency in Kenny Boothby’s voice matches the stakes of his lyrics, epic ballads and reveries that come at life from all angles and exposures, driving at and a little over the limits of self-reflection. The band’s lilting folk rock arrangements carry Boothby’s stories, occasionally lifting them skyward with flurries of cello samples, pedal steel, flute, and electric piano. It’s a record of depression and frustration that doesn’t stew in piety or aestheticize pain, that also explodes with life. Fragile and abundant. It’s a record with blood in its veins. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLittle Kid is a Toronto-based collaborative project that has existed in some form since 2009, and is currently comprised of Brodie Germain (drums, guitar), Paul Vroom (bass), Megan Lunn (vocals, banjo, keyboard), Liam Cole (drums, percussion), and Kenny Boothby (vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards). A Million Easy Payments, like the three Little Kid releases before it, was tracked, engineered, and mastered by Vroom. Vroom’s work renders a portrait of\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e Little Kid’s twin musical strengths — as a live act, a straight-ahead folk rock outfit, and as a group of creative, independent producers who want to mess things up. To that end, the record features several guest instruments: Eliza Niemi’s cello, Anh Phung’s flute, Seth Engel’s percussion, Peter Gill’s pedal steel, and Aaron Powell’s voice. Every so often, the boundaries fray. Chaotic flute layers transport the outro to “Beside Myself.” Banjo careens off the edge of “Something to Say.” The kick drum in “Bad Energy” is more than a heartbeat. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLike a minimalist composition, an Emily Dickinson poem, a Frankenthaler painting, early Sufjan Stevens, or the songs of many of Little Kid’s new labelmates at Orindal, A Million Easy Payments is brilliant insofar as it teems with texture and meaning under an outward image of simplicity. A peacock in sheep’s clothing. Its lyrical and musical density never comes at the expense of clarity or striking melodies. Like your favorite movie or novel, you come back to A Million Easy Payments again and again for the pleasure of its beauty, but also because it reveals something new every time. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLittle Kid has always centered around Boothby’s songwriting, and A Million Easy Payments proves his enormous skill many times over. He tackles the extended ballad tradition, zooming in and out with mind-bending control on “Bad Energy”: \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnd now your engine burns remains of ancient birds \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGo into town to drive around and then leave \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou tore a gash right clear through the atmosphere \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnd now there’s nothing that can buffer the heat \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut the sun is shining and your love is smiling \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn a moment getting warmed by a beam \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOf bad energy \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoothby’s writing is charged with love, absence, stagnation and change, often refracted through the lens of Christian thought, experienced by friends, exes, everyday people and Biblical characters. Later on in “Bad Energy,” Boothby jokes “if you’re only friendly with a dozen men\/ one might still kill you with a kiss on the cheek.” In “Eggshell,” a ghost reflects on his own death to his widow, a story based on the death of Boothby’s father: “ambulances came\/ weaving a whining siren down the highway\/ leaving a smiling silence in your life, babe.” The “I” sound woven in descending melodies. Two lanes of Boothby’s airy tenor. Two lanes of guitar. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAcross A Million Easy Payments, Boothby’s dexterity, rhythm, internal rhyming prowess, and ear for poetic sound are matched only by the pathos of his stories. The words are crafted deliberately, not to show off mastery, but to share hard-earned findings. To try and see the self in context and up close, and to prove the inquiry to be both futile and crucial. To dig around for God. The pool is murky. Not as reflective as we’d hoped. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Little Kid\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Orindal Records\u003c\/p\u003e"}

Recorded in '96 by reclusive lo-fi artist Blue Noon, 'i only remember the good parts' is a collection of muted, introspective lullabies assembled and delicately restored from their original master tapes. This is a remarkable discovery considering most of Blue Noon's catalogue had been lost in the aftermath of a foreclosure on the artist's residence due to their infamous disappearance in '97. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFortunately, the artist's former home was recently sold by its subsequent owners, resulting in an auction which miraculously included a large cardboard box marked only by the cryptic phrase \"two weeks left\" scrawled hastily in black sharpie. An unnamed music journalist who attended the auction quickly realized its significance, knowing the residence's previous history. Sure enough, the box had been pulled from a shelf in the attic, untouched for over 15 years. The additional presence of a Tascam 4-track tape\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e machine and condenser mic suggested this attic had been the recording space where much of Blue Noon's catalogue was recorded. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe conspiratorial types attracted by this enigmatic artist will no doubt find further lyrical material to support the strange and far-fetched theories that have circulated regarding Blue Noon's disappearance, which include debt evasion, a desperate PR hoax, or even the involvement of an esoteric procedure from obscure early-internet forums called the \"Possession Pact.\" Audio restoration hobbyist Thomas Howard, who mixed and mastered the release, can attest that there is a haunting aura embedded within the original tapes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHoward asserts that the audio began to affect his dreams, among other bizarre claims. In his own words, \"I spent about 6 hours straight one night mixing the album, and after a while, I could swear the lyrics changed entirely, almost as if they'd been reversed.

Recorded in '96 by reclusive lo-fi artist Blue Noon, 'i only remember the good parts' is a collection of muted, introspective lullabies assembled and delicately restored from their original master tapes. This is a remarkable discovery considering most of Blue Noon's catalogue had been lost in the aftermath of a foreclosure on the artist's residence due to their infamous disappearance in '97. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFortunately, the artist's former home was recently sold by its subsequent owners, resulting in an auction which miraculously included a large cardboard box marked only by the cryptic phrase \"two weeks left\" scrawled hastily in black sharpie. An unnamed music journalist who attended the auction quickly realized its significance, knowing the residence's previous history. Sure enough, the box had been pulled from a shelf in the attic, untouched for over 15 years. The additional presence of a Tascam 4-track tape\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e machine and condenser mic suggested this attic had been the recording space where much of Blue Noon's catalogue was recorded. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe conspiratorial types attracted by this enigmatic artist will no doubt find further lyrical material to support the strange and far-fetched theories that have circulated regarding Blue Noon's disappearance, which include debt evasion, a desperate PR hoax, or even the involvement of an esoteric procedure from obscure early-internet forums called the \"Possession Pact.\" Audio restoration hobbyist Thomas Howard, who mixed and mastered the release, can attest that there is a haunting aura embedded within the original tapes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHoward asserts that the audio began to affect his dreams, among other bizarre claims. In his own words, \"I spent about 6 hours straight one night mixing the album, and after a while, I could swear the lyrics changed entirely, almost as if they'd been reversed. I couldn't make anything out, but as crazy as it sounds, it started to feel as if they were responding to my thoughts.\" Curiously, Howard cut ties with the label shortly after conveying this to our staff, and has been unreachable since. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe're delighted to share that in loving tribute to Blue Noon's legacy, a selection of notable indie musicians have built upon three unfinished instrumentals from the era to bring them into 2024, almost as if the anonymous artist had never left.\u003c\/span\u003e \"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist : orchid mantis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel : Daydream Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCAT No.: DDR014\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
