about

Tapes is back! EM Records is very happy to bring you the latest from the artist known as Tapes, here with a 10-inch vinyl/download release that, with its good vibes, positivity and major-key delightfulness, will rescue you from any doldrums you are experiencing, whether personal, societal or cosmic. Both of the tracks are solo recordings from 2019, but they soar over the worries of the year, any year, with an uplifting rhythmic lilt, a positive tonality, non-annoyingly catchy melodies and some lovely sonic textures. There’s something here for fans of bass music, mid-80s-and-beyond electronic music, and toe-tapping good times. There’s a sweet chord progression and background drift in the title track that are particularly pleasing, and the flipside has some very satisfying tape echo that will lovingly catapult you to the future past. The sun can shine anywhere, anywhen, so enjoy!

Mastering: Takuto Kuratani

アルバム『No Broken Hearts…』(2015年)以後、Rezzettの活動が中心になっていたTapesが、紆余曲折をへて発表するNEWシングル。近未来的ディストピア感が世界を覆う今、あえてメジャー・コードでの作曲に挑戦した「Summer Jam」は、時代的に異質ですらある幸福感を放つが、陳腐なダーク・ヴァイブスなんてくそくらえ！というメッセージにもとれる。Rezzettでやり倒してきた、ヨジれてヒネくれた電子的表現（＜これも最高）に慣れた耳なら戸惑うような白玉コードを多用した曲だが、二度訪れる転調の瞬間、忘れかけていた音楽のミラクル、秘密が出現する。また、メロディアスでポップだがイージーリスニングにならない理由はずっとベース・ミュージックを追求してきたことが大きい。複雑なアートフォームになっているエレクトロニック・ミュージックが置き去りにした＜プライマルな何か＞を問いかける、ほがらかでシリアスな問題作だ。大胆なディレイとmid-80sフレイヴァーなシンセ音で演奏された「Salavere」もTapesの新展開を聴かせる重要曲。
