ANDY REED "Fast Forward"

2008(KOOL KAT) ￥1,890(taxin)

absolutepowerpop.comで2008年のベスト7に輝いたAndy Reedのデビューアルバム。楽しい曲調なのに涙が出てしまいそうになるメロディーは反則技！！Mike ViolaやElliott Smithに影響を受けてたであろうシンプルながら音色豊かな楽曲とKenneth Ishakを髣髴とさせる美しくて柔らかい声が本当に印象的。もしJelly Fishのメンバーが一人だったら？まさしく彼のような音になっていたかも。いや、それならBrendan Bensonがホームレコーディングした・・・いや、似てるでいいか？（笑）なんだかすっごくもさくるしい髭のAndy青年がジャケットになっちゃっていますが、それにまどわされず是非とも彼の声、そして歌を聴いてもらいたい！。

REVIEW
ROUGH TRADE RECORDS – SEPTEMBER 2007
For the fourth release on Plymouth based Ride Records, the label turns its eager ears to the other side of the world. Loveable types College Fall come mightily correct with “Gravity”, an anthemic, radio-friendly track coming on like the b**tard son of Postal Service and Frente, a track so beautiful it made Ride’s A&R swell up with pride. Just watch the old heads sing-a-long while the band takes in dates on their European tour over July and August.
