Little Creatures "30" 2CD
Japan's world-famous miracle trio LITTLE CREATURES has completed their first new album in five years to celebrate their 30th anniversary since their debut! Their ultra-minimal pop world, where 30 years of evolution and leisure resonate organically, is one of a kind!
I feel like I've always thought it would be nice to have a trio band like this, and this album "30" was created with the same idea.
Takuji Aoyagi
The immovable trio LITTLE CREATURES, consisting of Takuji Aoyagi (Vo/G), Masato Suzuki (Bass/Key), and Tsutomu Kurihara (Dr/Per), have released their eighth original work in five years, a satisfying work titled "30", named after the band's 30th anniversary since their debut! Following the previous work "Unknown Album", the song by Aoyagi with lyrics entirely in Japanese is at the center, but the sound shifts from the solid band ensemble of the previous work to something much more mellow. Organic yet futuristic. Mellow yet stimulating. Alternative yet universal. In the gaps of the sound that have been stripped down to the bare minimum, such opposing elements blend softly... Here is the world's most cutting-edge minimal pop music that only LITTLE CREATURES, who boast overwhelming musicianship and career, can create! I'm glad there is a band with such a trio!
DISC 2, "STUDIO SESSION," a bonus disc only available on the CD, features live recordings of the band's latest studio performances that sum up their career! Enjoy a number of classic songs reborn in new acoustic arrangements!
