エレクトロニック・デュオantennasiaの9枚目のアルバム『Channel Low』。本作は「グルーヴ」をテーマに、ベースとドラムによる推進力と躍動感が際立ちつつ、ジャンルを超えた多層的な音世界を展開。sanの多彩なヴォーカル表現が作品全体を牽引し、リズム・セクションと共に核を成している。レゲエやスカ、トリップホップ、サイケなど、多様なスタイルを内包。英語、日本語、ジャワ語(らしき言語)を交えた歌詞の世界、AIへの問題意識、日本の民話をモチーフにした物語性なども表現。自己革新を続け、新たな進化の兆しを見せている。
Formed in 1999 by vocalist san and trackmaker Nerve, the electronic/triphop/dub duo antennasia wil release their ninth and latest album, ‘Channel Low’, this July. The new album skilfuly incorporates elements of trip-hop and dub. However, this time, the central theme is “groove,” with the driving force of bass and drums standing out throughout the entire album, creating a sense of dynamism not found in the previous release. At the same time, when viewed as a whole, it expands into a multilayered and original soundscape that transcends genre boundaries, making it difficult to categorize.
