J.A.K.A.M. / SPIRIT BEYOND BORDER (CD)

繊細な点描を用いた女性のスカルや、花や植物を描くイラストレーション、 独自の書体を生み出したカリグラフィーなど、唯一無二の作品を発表し続けているUSUGROW。 ここ数年は“文化の伝搬”をテーマとした「SPIRIT BEYOND BORDERS」シリーズとして、世界各地の民族舞踊を描いている。 そのテーマにインスパイアを与えたと本人も語るJ.A.K.AM.(JUZU a.k.a. MOOCHY)との１０年近くに渡るコラボレーションの集大成的な作品が急遽CDでリリースされる。
音源としても10年前にリリースされた作品から近年のものまで既発曲が中心だが、新たに現場でアップデートされ、より熱量を増した楽曲群は2022年、改めて聴くに値するある意味普遍的な響きを持っていることを感じていただけるだろう。
全世界に散らばる民族の息吹を自己の中で解釈し、表現する二者の迸る情熱を感じて欲しい。
