The Daily Dig

Shintaro Sakamoto's new album Yoo-hoo, released this past January, returns in small supply. It keeps his familiar band — Yuta Suganuma on drums, AYA on bass and harmonies, Toru Nishiuchi on sax and flute, with Manami Kakudo guesting on marimba across two tracks. Recorded and mastered by Soichiro Nakamura, with cover art by Sakamoto himself. A scarce Zelone Records pressing.

坂本慎太郎於今年 1 月推出的全新專輯《ヤッホー》再度少量供貨。新作延續熟悉的樂團陣容：菅沼雄太打鼓、AYA 負責貝斯與和聲、西內徹吹奏薩克斯風與長笛，並邀請角銅真實於兩首曲目演奏馬林巴琴；錄音與母帶由中村宗一郎操刀，封面美術由坂本慎太郎親自擔任。Zelone Records 發行，數量極稀。

Following the Columbia-era best-of, Clammbon now collect their Warner years on vinyl, again chosen by fan vote. Fifteen tracks include the debut single 'Hanare Banare' and 'Surround' (produced by Seiji Kameda, once used in a Panasonic ad). A first-ever vinyl pressing as a double LP, due for Japan's Record Day in December. Ikuko Harada's buoyant voice remains as comforting as ever.

繼 Columbia 時期精選輯之後，Clammbon 這次推出 Warner 時期的精選黑膠，同樣由樂迷票選曲目。收錄出道單曲〈はなればなれ〉，以及由龜田誠治製作、曾為松下電器廣告使用的〈サラウンド〉等 15 首名曲。首次黑膠化，雙黑膠形式，預計 12 月日本「唱片之日」登場。原田郁子的元氣歌聲依舊讓人懷念。

A final batch of Taylor Swift's 'Elizabeth Taylor' 7-inch single, arriving in July. The song appears on her 2025 album The Life of a Showgirl, now pressed as a physical 7-inch.

Boston double bassist Henry Fraser delivers a solo work probing the relationship between breath, resonance and improvisation. Pneuma draws on pre-composed motifs and improvised material across spare movements — the low, sustained drone of 'Conversion Chants' advancing like a lawnmower engine, 'That This' tearing a near-violent disorder out of stillness through forceful plucked and bowed strings. Recorded by Randall Dunn (Jóhann Jóhannsson, Sunn O)))) and Ben Greenberg.

波士頓出身的新生代低音提琴手 Henry Fraser，帶來一張探索呼吸、共鳴與即興關係的獨奏作品。《Pneuma》取材自預先寫成的動機與即興素材，以精簡樂章展開——〈Conversion Chants〉裡低沉持續的轟鳴彷彿割草機引擎般推進，〈That This〉則以強勁的撥弦與擦弦在靜謐中撕開近乎暴力的失序。由 Randall Dunn（曾參與 Jóhann Jóhannsson、Sunn O))) 等作品）與 Ben Greenberg 錄音。
