商品の紹介
| The Neon Gate represents a distinct juncture for Nap Eyes. Over their first four albums, the Halifax-bred crew ambled ever forward, gently refining their laid-back guitar jangle to match the increasingly dense and freewheeling texts of frontman Nigel Chapman. 2020s Snapshot of a Beginner was their most musically polished release, though its bookish self-examinations occasionally tipped too far into abstract navel-gazing. Fans looking for clarity or at least an easing of idiosyncrasy must first endure The Neon Gate. After the relative cohesion of Snapshot, this set feels noticeably slapdash, though admittedly, thats also part of its charm. Conceived during the COVID-19 lockdowns, Chapman charges into the full bloom of his eccentricity, reveling in long-form lyrical extrapolations that touch on philosophy, physics, anxiety, science fiction, and medieval motifs. All but three of The Neon Gates tracks exceed the six-minute mark, and two of them (the excellent "Demons" and mystical "I See Phantoms of Hatred and of the Hearts Fullness and of the Coming Emptiness") are adaptations of 19th century poets Alexander Pushkin and W.B. Yeats. Originating as acoustic home demos set to drum loops, the resultant collection feels more like a Chapman solo outing than what has previously been established as a Nap Eyes record. To their credit, bandmates Brad Loughead, Josh Salter, and Seamus Dalton make their collective mark in more unexpected ways, rising to the occasion with peculiar overdubs and inventive production that nods to their lo-fi roots while exercising new artistic muscles. There is a heavier reliance on synths, and on several songs theres a spacious feeling that is quite effective, especially on the marvelous "Passageway." At times, The Neon Gate is transcendent, though its easy to get lost in its labyrinth of unicorns, demons, and castle grounds. Its certainly a more challenging listen than their earlier albums, but Nap Eyes have never been a mainstream concern. To that end, a sprawling D.I.Y. art-pop composite merely feels like one stop on a larger journey. But where do they go after this? ~ Timothy Monger |
