Description:

Forbear, a.k.a. Tokyo Positive Emogaze, releases its second album "8songs" with 8 songs. This is the third album from LIKE A FOOL RECORDS in two years, and it is the band's first album in two years. The new songs on this album show a different kind of trust between the band members than the tension that existed in the early days of the band, which is linked to the band's activities while gradually expanding into various scenes. The new songs on this album were recorded by Devu, who has also worked with Otus and Super Structure.Two heavy alterna-guitars with depth and three-dimensionality that have gone further than the previous album, exquisitely catchy phrasing, Inatasa's best power band ensemble that can feel originality even with only the rhythm section, compelling arrangements that also live up to the connection with the hardcore punk scene, and the way the piano music by Whisky Yoko that seems to resonate with Ida and Jen Wood, etc. is also a wonderful accent as an album. Whisky Yoko's piano music, which resonates with Ida, Jen Wood, and others, also adds a wonderful accent to the album, and the way the twin vocals of Forbear mark the perfect sound makeup. The album also features guest artists for the first time, including Koike of Eupholks/MUGWUMPS, who unleashes his angelic voice from the beginning, and Zamoh of SOILED HATE/shapeshifter, including his friend HETH, who provides the Evil SKIT production and the guest artists. SKIT production and guest work by Zamoh, who is active in SOILED HATE/shapeshifter as well as his ally HETH, add color to the work in various places. Also included on the CD only as a bonus track is a remix of the song.He is a DJ/BEATMAKER/PRODUCER IRONSTONE, who released "LET THE DOG IN THE HOUSE, LET THE HUMAN DIE OUTSIDE" in 2022 to rave reviews in various places, and recently released a joint work with kyoceeapartment. /He is also the co-founder of the web media "Private Dub" and "Public Rhythm" with IRONSTONE, and participated in the tribute album "NieR Tribute Album -echo-" for the game "NieR". and Kanou Kaoru, who is also active in his own band, cikari. The arrangements, which are so detailed and effective that you can feel the love, understanding, and respect for the band, are also a masterpiece. It is an album that is completed by listening to the remixes. The design is by llyoulll, an illustrator/skater from Reppen Yokohama who has also worked on Fells in Town and HETH x ONLY THE LAST SONG.It offers a unique visual that is a departure from the traditional line drawing style designs created by Mr. llllyoulll. Not only the jacket, but even the insert is carefully written with his unique essence in every detail, and when the physical is opened, the llyoulll world is unfolded. for funs of The Smashing Pumpkins、Hum、Quicksand、Swervedriver、Fleshwater、Gleemer、cursetheknife...
