Product Description

Mouse on the Keys, the Japanese trio of Daisuke Niitome (piano, keyboard), Akira Kawasaki (drums, piano, keyboard), and Atsushi Kiyota (synths, piano, keyboard), are an energetic, hard-to-pigeonhole Tokyo-based group that combine the sound of diverse pianos and synthesizers with out-there drumming. Their locomotive American hardcore rhythms and virtuosic post-rock grooves dance fearlessly with jazz, contemporary classical, and shreds of electronic music. Since their foundation in 2006, the band has released on such labels as Japanese imprint Machu Picchu Industries and acclaimed German label Denovali Records, and toured Europe, Canada, Brazil, and Asia. As their main influences, the musical libertines name a miscellaneous range of labels, artists, and bands including On-U Sound, Burt Bacharach, Claude Debussy, Bad Brains, Kreator, Material, Johann Sebastian Bach, Beastie Boys, Napalm Death, and Steve Reich, all of whom left their traces on the group's third album, The Flowers of Romance, an irrepressible amalgam of spontaneous ideas and precisely written harmonics. While recording in Tokyo and the little coast town of Izu, in April and May of 2015, the trio worked for the first time with material that they had not written together. Each member wrote songs by himself, and the band collaborated with guests like violinist Atsuko Hatano, trumpet sorcerer Daisuke Sasaki, guitarist Masahiro Tobita of the legendary Japanese hardcore band Envy, and many more singers and musicians, enlisting contrabass, clarinet, and saxophone. Together they turned in a live sound that gives the compositions a human touch and brings them to a higher level. The pieces have moments of post-rock and free jazz, occasionally recalling the music of Tortoise or John Zorn. A virtuosic mix of alert piano-playing, intense drumming, chamber music, synth grooves, celestial ambient structures, and beautiful abstract melodies. The Flowers of Romance also includes a composition by their hero, Maurice Ravel, and the band claim that western philosophers like Ferdinand de Saussure, Sigmund Freud, or Karl Marx had a major influence on the writing process. It's a multi-layered superstructure and an exhilarating utopian masterpiece made with precision, fidelity, and frankness for ears with a deep sense of the intense, the radical, and the playful.

待ってましたの一枚。今回はレーベルを移籍し、制作にtoeの美濃氏は関わっていない。また電子音や効果音のコラージュ等も見られ、今までのストイックな突き詰め方とはやや違ったアプローチが垣間見える。■特徴・美濃氏ミックスではなくなったことで、音場が著しくスッキリした。 個人的にはMachuPicchu時代の鼓膜を直に刺激してくるサウンドのほうが好みだったが、聴きやすくなったのもまた事実なので、再生環境と好み次第か。◎良い所・プレイはいつものmotkでいつも通りの複雑な和音と手数の多いドラムで押してくるスタイルは健在。カッコイイ。 前作までと違い和音で間を埋めずに休符を上手く取り入れつつも楽器同士を絡ませる部分が多く見られ、これもまた新たな魅力である。・効果音や電子音をあからさまに取り入れ、いつもとは違うやや折衷的なアプローチ。 これにはピアノとドラム、編入楽器だけで全てを表現してきたこれまでとは異なり賛否もあるだろうけれども、音楽の展開としては非常によくハマっている。 「The Lonely Crowd」のように生ドラムではなくドラムマシンが鳴る場面すらある。表現性の幅は広がっている。・作曲者が複数になったが、編曲やプレイ・和声・リズムの質などは驚くほど統一されておりその違いを感じさせない。これは無論いい意味で、である。△微妙な所・楽曲中の構成に複雑化が見られる。キラーチューンである「Leviathan」が筆頭である。 「最後の晩餐」から確実に続いてきた、リフやシンプルかつ混濁した和音の奔流から一気に高揚したクリアなカタルシスを得られるシンプルな構成の楽曲がない。 構成力が劣化したわけではなく進化しているのだけれど、やはりシンプルな楽曲もひとつ入っているとより没入して聴けるのでは、と思う。
