土井玄臣が二年半ぶりに戻ってきました。

nobleレーベル初の男性シンガーソングライターとして、土井玄臣が2013年夏にリリースしたアルバム『The Illuminated Nightingale』では、その繊細で中性的なハイトーンボイスと、現実と非現実がグニャリと混ざるような、マジックリアリズムを想わせる寓話的な世界観が話題となり、多くのコアなファンを獲得しました。

しかし前作リリース後、本人曰く「もう音楽を作る事は出来ないかも」と思えるほど、土井は重度のスランプに陥ります。落ちるところまで落ちた彼が、恢復を目指し、二年半のあいだ試行錯誤を繰り返しながら完成させたものが、本作『ぼんやりベイビーEP』です。

空間的なシンセが印象的なアンビエント調のものから、打ち込みのリズムが軽やかな、少し懐かしいエレポップ調のもの、ギターと鍵盤でのミニマルな弾き語り、さらには朗読まで、ここにはバラエティに富んだ七つの歌が収められています。艶のあるユニークな歌声やリリカルな歌詞、そしてハッとさせられるメロディの良さは、もちろん健在。スランプを経験した事によって、表現者としての深みが増し、結果、本作は、悲しみや諦観が根底に有りながらも、穏やかな優しさに満ちた、とても静的な美しさを纏った作品になりました。



Motoomi Doi is back after two and a half years absence.

As the label's first male singer songwriter, Motoomi Doi released "The Illuminated Nightingale" in the summer of 2013, with his delicate, gender neutral high tone voice, mixing reality with the surreal following his fable-like vision of magic realism, he has gathered many loyal fans.

But after the release he fell into a severe slump. Though he had hit the bottom, he strove to recover and after two and a half years of trial error, he has completed his newest work "Bonyari Baby EP".

From the expansive sense of impressionistic ambient, light rhythmic nostalgic electro-pop to spoken word and guitar verse, this EP has seven songs rich in variation. His unique glossy voice and beautiful melodies of course still remain. He has deepened himself as an artist as a result of experiencing his slump. Throughout the whole EP, a certain sadness and despair are present at its depth, but they're wrapped in a gentle kindness leading to the great deepness of this work.
