1stより浮いた感じがなくなって

かなり良いと思うのだが、

メディア評価的には、そこまでという感じ。

 

狙いすぎなところが鼻についたという感じだろうか。

 

個人的には推しておきたい作品。

 

 

 

With their 2022 debut album, King Hannah's Hannah Merrick and Craig Whittle showcased a lush and melancholy sync-friendly sound that met somewhere near the crossroads of influences like Mazzy Star and Portishead, the spookiness of Twin Peaks, and noise rock. Big Swimmer finds them stealthily expanding into haunted folk and proto- and post-punk (think the Velvet Underground and Speedy Wunderground) without leaving their established sonic space behind. While the shifts are relatively subtle, the payoff is substantial, with a large portion of the credit going to the adventurous qualities -- and the quality -- of the songs themselves. A recording process that involved tracking the album live in a single room with producer Ali Chant (Aldous Harding, PJ Harvey) should also be taken into account.
