TREMBLING BLUE STARS "A Certain Evening Light"
2002(ELEFANT) ￥1,988(taxin) NEW ARRIVAL 09.05.31
ロンドン出身の愛しすぎるギタポバンドTrembling Blue StarsがスペインのElefant Recordsとのディストリビューションシリーズ、第一弾として登場！！ex-AberdeenのArzyとex-Field Mice/Northern Picture LibraryのWrattenとで結成されSubpopからもリリースがあった男女混声でSarahレーベル周辺のギターポップファンにはたまらない正統派。本作はシングルなど収録の未発表曲をコンパイルした編集盤でElefantのほか、アメリカではBar/Noneからのリリース。メンバーも2人を除いて総代わりしたがやはりこのメロディーはいつでも間違いない。Magnetic FieldsやField Miceのファンなどに・・いやオススメするまでもなくファンですよね笑
