Gusokumuzu "Happy Holiday" CD

A crossroads of melody and groove with young soul soaring through. It has been a year since his shocking and well-received debut work, "Gusokumuzu." A must-listen, highly anticipated album that breathes new life into "Neo Kazemachi"! The long-awaited second album, including the smash hit single "Winter Whispers," is now complete!

Since its debut, Gusokumuzu has been running smoothly. Their first album "Gusokumuzu" won the 14th CD Shop Award. His popularity has increased dramatically as he has provided songs for popular singers 20th Century, Negicco, and Kaede. The collection of early recordings, "Gusokumuzukan," released in September as an analog-only LP, is also sold out. The new single "Winter Whispers", which precedes the second album, will be released on a 7-inch, which is a nice, laid-back release format. The simple, catchy sound, sophisticated melodies, and stylish harmonies are still alive and well. The sound is concise, appropriate, and eloquent, with crisp playing throughout and a minimum number of instruments used to create a sound that brings out the "song" itself. The music ranges from a mellow, soulful feel to folky and sometimes funky rock to up-tempo guitar pop numbers. All members are songwriters, and the songs are more varied than on their previous album, making the most of each member's individuality. Drawing on their experience, the band has produced a refreshing masterpiece, playing great melodies with a good groove and in a sincere and calm manner.
