PEELGREEMS "From A To L..."
2009(PEELPROD) ¥1260(taxin)
くるりが大好きだというジャパニーズポップス狂のフランス人Alexis Hadefi君によるユニークなパワーポップバンド、PeelgreemsのデビューEP(スリーヴ)。すでに二度の来日を果たしている。The Polyphonic SpreeのTim DeLaughterが以前やっていたグランジーなストレンジポップバンドTripping Daisyの熱心なおっかけだったことがミュージシャンへのきっかけだった(と来日時に熱心に語ってくれた)。本作はファーストアルバム『First Step To Merry Test ...』にくらべまだまだUS90sに忠実な音作りをしている(まさにパワーポップとThe Polyphonic Spreeの間を縫うような・・・)。優等生然としたデビューだがすでに化ける気配はしている。先着順でバッジ(23mm×23mm)特典アリ。

BIOGRAPHY
Alexis Hadefi from Peel Prod - a small but devoted force of underground music - has presented something familiar yet unique. What you'll find here is solid post-modern indie rock (some would lump it with emo, etc.) that boasts cool melodies, nice guitar licks, solid vocals, groovy percussive textures - and a cool concept. Take metalcore musicians and do pop rock. Does it work? You bet it does. Does it rock? Damn right. This band's sound is both familiar yet distinctive, and features production by a member of Polyphonic Spree, and bass work from a Dillinger Escape Plan member and an ex-Candiria percussionist on drums. The experiment is a successful one and a terrific example of pop rock.
