商品の紹介
| When singer/songwriter Nicholas Krgovich and multi-instrumentalist Joseph Shabason booked a two-week tour of Japan in 2024, they enlisted Saya and Takashi of Tenniscoats to be their backing band. The combination might have seemed a bit of a disconnect at first, as the Tenniscoats sparse, loose, and lo-fi approach differs greatly from the precise, well-sculptured feel of Krgovichs work. The concerts went well enough that the four musicians decided to make a record together. They booked a couple of days at an artist retreat housed in a century-old house in Kobe and the result was a charming record titled Wao. There were no songs or ideas worked out in advance, the four just improvised and honed the results a little bit. Despite the lack of planning or forethought, the record is a skillful amalgamation of the sophistication of Krgovichs music and the innocence of the Tenniscoats’, with loads of input from the musically adept Shabason. They mostly stick to fragile ballads that feature gentle woodwinds, tinkling percussion, woozy drum machines, humming synth sounds, and rich piano chords sliding through the arrangements. Quite often, Saya and Krgovich sing together, his deep honeyed tone balances perfectly with her breathy style. They strike an instant rapport; so much so on tracks like "Shioya Collection" and "Our Detour" that they sound like collaborators from way back instead of people who just met. They trade verses and sing in unison while transmitting a sense of connectedness that isnt romantic, but one that exists on a deeper, more fundamental level. The best songs are those like "Departed Bird," where they work together with Takashi and Shabason to make music that features all the players in true egalitarian manner. It helps, too, that the song is crushingly beautiful, weaving through an emotional minefield with the guidance of a wandering flute and a crystal-clear melody. When the balance tips more toward one side or the other of the equation, like on "Look Look Look," where Saya sounds like shes hitching a ride on a very Krgovich-ian song, the record is slightly less successful, though it is still fascinating and impactful. Maybe the most interesting track is their cover of My Bloody Valentines "Lose My Breath," where they replace the whooshing haze of the original’s guitars with fingerpicked acoustics, synths, and piano while Saya adds swooning vocals. When the two singers come together in the verse to lather on the hushed beauty, the song truly comes to life in an almost painfully intimate way. Its a trick other bands have tried in the past with the music of MBV, but few have done it with the skill and grace that this group of highly complementary musicians does. Its a perfect capper to a record that may have started as a lark but ended up being an addition to all their catalogs that they should be very proud of. ~ Tim Sendra |
