MAMIFFER / PYRAMIDS

[Machine Translation] Aaron Turner, an artist who has been active since the breakup of ISIS, is currently the main force behind the aesthetic drone/ambient group Mamifer, and the Texas-based Pyramids, whose unidentified sound straddles black metal, shoegaze, and psychedelic music, but whose identity is largely unknown. The Mamifers are a Texas-based group whose identity is largely unknown except that they are based in Texas, and the Pyramids, whose unidentified sound freely moves between black metal, shoegaze, and psychedelic music. Both groups are known for their prolific productions, but they are able to present a clear direction for each of their works. The Mamiffer's beautiful sound, which makes the most of the graceful piano of the talented Faith Coloccia, further refines the elegance of the music. The Pyramids, on the other hand, also present a single song that changes expression one after the other, amplifying the musical range and mysteriousness that they have been presenting. Despite being a split work, both songs react organically. It gives the impression of a single work by a single artist.

アイシス解散以降も精力的な活動を続け、威光を放ち続ける孤高のアーティスト:アーロン・ターナーが現在メインに動かしている耽美派ドローン/アンビエント・グループ: マミファーと、テキサスを拠点にすること以外殆ど素性を知られず、ブラック・メタルからシューゲイザー/サイケまでを自在に行き来する正体不明の音を鳴らすピラミッズのスプリット作。 ■ 共に多作で知られるグループだが、作品ごとに明確な方向性を提示してくるのはさすが。マミファーは才女フェイス・コロッチャの優雅なピアノを最大限に生かした美しいサウンドで、優雅さに更に磨きを掛けている。一方のピラミッズも1曲ながら次々と表情を変えていく曲調で、これまで提示してきた音楽的な幅広さ/得体の知れなさを増幅させている。 ■ スプリット作でありながら、両者の曲が有機的に反応。まるで一アーティストによる一作品のような印象を覚える。
