変種

【今日の一枚】



Arca - Mutant [MUTE 2015]

エクストリームかつヴァイオレント、殺伐としていながら官能的。
混沌のなかに抒情、慈愛を感じさせる音。
文字通り突然変異なのか。

Julia Holter - Have You in My Wilderness [Domino 2015]

MOJOやUncutを初めとした数々の音楽専門誌が今年のベスト・アルバムに挙げ、ビルボード・チャートでも最高3位を記録したというのですから、今年最も成功した作品と言えるのでは。
個人的には9曲目の「Vasquez」の濃密なサイケデリック空間に只ならぬ迫力を感じましたです。
