Paradox

[Machine Translation] One year after the debut in Japan and half a year after the debut in Europe! Half a year since their European debut! Geometric Metamorphosis Progressive Instrumental! Long-awaited 2nd album! Clean Of Core, who made their debut in August last year, have completed their long-awaited second album "Paradox"! The new album features more synthesizers than the previous one, and the melodies are more POP-like and the sense of speed is doubled! The new album is more open and has a more POP melody and a faster pace than the previous album, and it has an atmosphere similar to that of EL&P, a representative of the British progressive music of the 1970s. The band's songs, which are generally in odd time signatures but have explosive power, prove that they are a rare presence in Japan, similar to recent post-hardcore bands such as Battles, Lightning Bolt, and Mars Volta. In addition to Takeda (guitar), Kato (bass) has also introduced synths in their live performances, and their technical performances, in which they both manipulate synths at the same time, are a must-see!

日本デビューから1年。ヨーロッパデビューから半年!幾何学的変態プログレ・インスト!待望の2ndアルバム完成!昨年8月にデビューを果たしたClean Of Core、待望の2ndアルバム「Paradox」が完成! 今年2月にはヨーロッパデビューも果たし、一段とスケールアップした彼等が放つ新作は、前作よりもシンセサイザーを大胆にフィーチャーし、よりPOPなメロディを展開し疾走感も倍増! 70年代英国プログレッシブの代表格EL&Pのような不穏ながらも開けた独特の空気感に近いものを感じさせる。また、全体的に変拍子ながらも爆発力を兼ね備えた楽曲は、Battles、Lightning Bolt、Mars Voltaなど近年のポスト・ハードコア勢にも近い日本でも希有な存在を証明している。ライブでは、従来の武田(ギター)に加えて、加藤(ベース)もシンセを導入し、両者、同時に操るテクニカルなパフォーマンスは必見の価値アリ!
