    Nothings66 Press release

    nothings66 待望の新作は、アイスランド・レイキャヴィーク出身、 Matthew Collings によるソロプロジェクト、Sketches for Albinos。 前作、v.a. - duskscape not seen(N66CD001)にも参加し、 今まで数多くの楽曲を紡ぎだしてきた Matthew による、初のフルアルバム。
    氷に覆われ、最も深い、アイスランドのどこかで旅をしながら、 Sketches for Albinos は地球の果てから愛の音楽を奏でます。 虚無に飲み込まれていた彼が、まるで心を満たすかのように、 テープを引っ掻き、それを記録していくことからすべてが始まりました。 テープを作り、この世界の不鮮明なものを記録するという過程から生まれる Sketches for Albinos の音楽は、あなたが聴くことによって ある種、写真アルバムやスケッチブックとして、あなたの感情を動かします。 束の間の瞬間、嵐が過ぎ去った後の微風、 冷たいトーンに同居する圧倒的な暖かさ、美しさは感情に揺らめきを与えます。 穏やかでありながら、強力にも響き渡る極寒サウンド!

    過去 Kranky や Room40 等から多数の作品をリリースし、今年 Home Normal や Own Records から立て続けに新作を発表した Chihei Hatakeyama, 12k からアルバムをリリースし、Simon Scott や Grun Grun 等への作品参加、 Filfla のボーカリストや画家としても活躍する Moskitoo, 今年 Spekk からデビューアルバムを発表し、すでに Home Normal からセカンドアルバムの リリースを控えているアルゼンチン音響の注目人物、Federico Durand らによる
    豪華リミックスを収録しました。

    Camped out somewhere in deepest, iciest Iceland Sketches for Albinos makes music from the ends of the earth. He who was swallowed in nihility scratched at tape as if he totally filled his mind, and all began from what record it. Making the tape, the music of Sketches for Albinos born from the process that he records an indistinct thing of this world moves your feelings as a sort of photograph album and a sketchbook by what you listen to. Fleeting moments... Leftover breeze at the end of a storm... With a cold tone, there are overwhelmingly warmth and beauty will give a wavering to anyone's emotion. The quiet and calm, and strongly even echoed coldest sound !

    Chihei Hatakeyama who released a lot of works from Kranky amd Room40 in the past, and published a new work from Home Normal and Own Records in succession in 2010. Moskitoo who released an album from 12k, and play an active part as work participation to Simon Scott and Grun Grun, and works as a painter, and is a vocalist of Filfla. Federico Duland who released the debut album from Spekk, and have already refrained from the second album from Home Normal.

    ́... on a par with anything that the mighty Sigur Ros have released ́
    (Hecklerspray.com) (Rawkstar.net)

    ́Surrounding him in an arc which extends around the back of the tiny stage and off both sides stand the seven guitarists he's acquired for the evening. Seven leads feed into his nerve centre, and as seven hands pick out one drawn-out chord he works his magic; tuning and manipulating the sound and folding it back on itself across a background of quietly ticking electronica to fill the air around him with glacially mangificent sonic sculpture...building like some submerged orchestra. Ambient but definitely not background, when he draws it to a close it's like being snapped out of hypnosis. Amazing stuff ́
