Passion Pit / Manners



★★★★★+
5STAR+

昨年リリースのEP(ミニ・アルバム)も超良かったし、"BBC SOUND OF 2009"にもランクインしてたしで目を付けてた人もとにかく多かったであろう、否が応でも業界的にも超期待のアルバムが遂にドロップでございました。
コレ系の中で昨年で言えば、MGMT, Hot Chip, Metronomyクラスの評価に値するホント最高の盤でしたわ。
凄いねこの人達。センスの塊、こだわりにこだわったディテールの数々。神経質な程の小ワザ。メロディーから音から何から圧倒される作りでした。
個人的に鬼崇拝しております"Avalanches"や"The Go! Team"辺りに通じる音楽的な一面をすこぶる感じさせられます。サンプリングのネタ使いや音質、質感がヤバいし。
しかも基本的なビートに関しては案外太めでおいおい結構ダンサブルときたもんだ。
Remixやなんやでイジってくれたら全然フロアでいけまっせ的な変貌も遂げちゃうでしょう。(Remixコンテストも開催されてたし、もういろいろ出回ってるみたいです。盛り上がれ～～!!)
特に好きなのがヴォーカルとコーラスが重なりまくる感じ。とにかくそのアレンジが入った曲はビシバシメロメロ来ちゃいます。好きだなぁ。
T-04,　T-06,　T-07,　T-09,　T-11　たまらんです!!　スーパーヘビローーーーーーーーー!!
EPが突出して良かっただけに凄く期待していたのですが、間違いなく大満足のアルバムとなりました。
(シンセ&キーボードの使い方が極端に目立つ鼻につくアレンジの曲だけちょっとちょっと余計でしたけど…ごめりんこ。)

Malcolm Mclaren / Supreme

Malcolm Mclaren was born in 1946 in the suburbs of London, England. In 1971, he and then partner Vivienne Westwood opened a shop inspired by the Teddy Boy movement called Let It Rock at 430 Kings Road.

In 1972, Mclaren met the New York Dolls on a trip to New York City and took on the role as their manager and designer of the band's stage wear. He changed the name of his shop to Too Fast Too Live Too Young Too Die. But after the brand's breakup in 1975, Mclaren turned his focus to fetish wear that paved the way for punk via his newly named shop, SEX. When he met Johnny Rotten on the street one day that year, Mclaren formed and managed The Sex Pistols, the legendary band that would be the vehicle for this new look and attitude. Shortly after the release of their first and only album "Never Mind The Bullocks, Here's The Sex Pistols" the band disbanded.

In 1983 Mclaren embarked on a solo musical career with the release of his album "Duck Rock" Fusing elements of the then newly emerging hip-hop sound with more traditional African and American music, Mclaren scored major hits with tracks like Buffalo Gals, World's Famous, and D'Ya Like Scratchin. The album was a collaboration with "The World Famous Supreme Team" that was Just Allah and See Divine, two emcees from New York City. They also hosted a radio show called "The World Famous Supreme Team Show". Mclaren also worked on the album with key artists of the time including Dondi White and Keith Haring, among others.

Supreme will release a small collection with Malcolm Mclaren comprised of original artwork on tees, hoodie and New Era hat. In addition, a Vans V-79 was designed for the project.
