THE DISAPPOINTMENTS "Midwest Coast"

2000(UNDEFEATED) ￥1890(taxin)

廃盤、ラスト･ストック！現JANGLEMENメンバーによるシカゴ産3ピース、シックスティーズ・パワーポップバンドThe Disappointmentsの廃盤2ndアルバム入荷！ファーストからシンセなどを導入して一気に色気が出てます。ハイ！とりあえずタイトルからして名曲すぎる「Breaking Up Like a Band」これ、ヤバすぎでしょうよ。キャッチーなシンセがたまらない「Another Long Day」もこの絶妙なニューウェーブ風味がソングライティングの重要なキーワードになっている気がする。とはいえ、もちろん60ｓマジカル・ポップソングが何よりもベースにあってのことなんだけどね。Big Star～Fountains Of Wayneまで脈々と受け継がれる米国パワーポップの実力はだてじゃないね。
