PHNOM PENH MODEL RETURNS!

This work, which is actually being released for the first time in 18 years, is a masterpiece where the rare sound engineer Kotobuki Hikaru “gobbles” a poem by Taniguchi Maruta Masaaki, and reveals a disturbing, ultra-colored or tranquil monochrome “sound” space like a mandala! The pinnacle of the Phnom Penh model career “Vast Empty Pulse” (Vast Empty Pulse)! FINALLY RELEASED!!!

My first boss I started this job with was Kotobuki senpai.

I was watching it because I thought it was a strange person from that time on, and I was still very happy. Be sure to check out the new album!

Beat on the edge of a cliff! The noises, voices, and screams of tightrope walking! Dance, dance, dance! Keep running forever “Light Horse”! Tell someone, it's awesome! Is

“See you later” is a bit lonely, but it's a nice word, isn't it?

“Goodbye” is famous in Europe and America, but within Japan, I've almost never heard of it, and I don't remember saying it. Maybe it's because “goodbye” is like parting ways in this life.

In that respect, “see you later” is like “see you again” in Chinese, let's meet again! It feels like that, and I personally think it's warm.

Also, in terms of sound, I like the balance between Marta's and my voice, Hirasawa-san's guitar is organic, and Kotobuki's sound is inorganic. well, see you later!

- TOGAWA Jun -

It was fun and refreshing to listen!

In recent years, the formation with live bass and drums, and the fact that they perform live in band style has also been reflected in recordings, so the rhythm section is working! Nevertheless, the techno feel has increased even more! what is this? It's cyber electro that also has a sense of nostalgia

Maruta-kun's vocals are also simple, more symbolic and noisy, and stinging! it hurts but it feels great! It's like a firming treatment! I can clearly draw the line between things I don't do solo

Well, as you gain experience, the constructiveness of sophisticated art will increase even more, but the “burnt, really messy feeling,” which can be said to be the root, isn't maintained at the last minute! I'm glad that the PV is also Reiwa AI future-oriented. It's kitschy, but it doesn't look like it's being aimed too much; it looks beautiful, but it's not beautiful! That was just the right balance

The fact that Sunahara-kun, Hirasawa-san, and Jun-chan are also getting involved little by little makes me feel that their attitude towards music continues uninterrupted! Memories of a time when I was stuck on that edge have become precious once again! Thanks Phnom Penh!

Phnom Penh model drawn from P-MODEL's blood that I loved! Euphoria is the only thing that shatters and tears even faster and more violently and remains after the storm.
