about

Formed in April 2020 around core members Nao and Michael, Tokyo-based shoegaze quartet LUNE (リューネ) make their physical released debut with their full-length effort "what have we become".

The album features guest appearances from the likes of eureka (For Tracy Hyde/Ferri-Chrome) on the intro track "fuyu no nioi" and yngw (CAUCUS/BOAR HUNTER) on the CD-exclusive bnus track "infinite intimacy". Drums on the release were performed by Yoshiki Niioka (the terminal stage), who also handled mixing and mastering of the record.

"what have we become" covers a wide range of sounds, from summery pop tunes to hard-driving alt-rock, to gothy shoegaze tracks, and post rock feels.

The contrasting but well-balanced vocal styles and shoegaze catharsis work insanely well together, and the lush, dark vibe of their sound draws on the likes of 4AD artists like Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil.


2020 年 4 月に Nao と Michael を中心に東京で結成された叙情系シューゲイズ・バンド、LUNE(リューネ)。現在は元 Nuit のギタリスト=Shay、キーボードの Hiro の 4 人体制で活動中。

本作『what have we become』は彼らの初フィジカル作品となるデビュー・アルバムで、M-1「冬の匂い」に eureka(For Tracy Hyde/Ferri-Chrome)、ボーナス・トラック「infinite intimacy」に yngw(CAUCUS/BOAR HUNTER)をフィーチャーし、ドラムとミックス&マスタリングには the terminal stage のニイオカヨシキを迎えて制作。

憂いのあるポップ・チューンやドライヴ感のあるオルタナティヴ・ロック、ゴシック系なシューゲイズ曲、ポスト・ロックの影響を感じさせるサウンド・プロダクションなどが特長で、なかには 7 分を超える壮大な叙情曲「花火」も収録。

エモーショナルな Nao とクールな Michael の両ヴォーカルのバランスもよく、その対照的な表現とシューゲイズ・サウンドのカタルシスさがとてもマッチし、Cocteau Twins や This Mortal Coil など 4AD のような甘美で退廃的な雰囲気を見事に創出。
