前作は、”推し”に入れた作品だった

 

 

今回も、

音、声に、なんかもやもやした

切羽詰まった、というか焦りみたいなものが

写し出されていてよいと思うのだが。

 

 

 

今作も良作品ながら、

メディアは思ったより厳しい。

 

 

On her full-length debut, 2021's Public Storage, rough-and-real Los Angeles indie wunderkind Hana Vu worked with a co-producer for the first time while continuing to diversify her sound into dark, dancey, and dreamy directions. That producer, Day Wave's Jackson Phillips, returns for the musically like-minded follow-up, Romanticism. Allowing for immersion at 12 songs and a 45-minute run time, it finds Vu entering her twenties and dealing with the personal and broader existentialist struggles of a lovelorn Zoomer with questionable prospects: it's a mood, and Vu nails it. Lines like "There's no song in my heart/Like I thought there was when I was young" and "I'm sorry 'bout the way I am/Please move along" populate the opener, "Look Alive," a symphonic prologue. The melancholy guitar strums and shuffling beat of next track "Hammer" seduces with its grooving bittersweetness before the lyrics, instrumentation, and vocal line escalate into something more desperate and anthemic, as Vu calls for help from established structures and doesn't get any.
