TREMBLING BLUE STARS "Broken By Whispers"
2000(ELEFANT) ￥1,988(taxin) NEW ARRIVAL 09.05.31
Subpopからもリリースされロンドン出身のTrembling Blue Starsを世界的名声に導いた出世作！Sarahレーベル解散後の後継者的存在Shinkansen Recordsからリリースというのが象徴的なTBSセカンドアルバム。ex-AberdeenのArzyとex-Field Mice/Northern Picture LibraryのWrattenというまさにギターポップという２人から紡ぎだされるメロドラマティックなラヴソングの数々。失恋や出会いの悲喜こもごもが歌われる切なく淡々としたメロディーに心奪われます。本国ではすでにSOLD OUTなためこちらも無理を言っての少数入荷！！ハッピーです。
