Best disc 2014

1)Sharon Van Etten - Are We There The best record 2014. It does't be retro, but it doesn't be new. It's just the present of her own music. 2)Roddy Frame - Seven Dials 3)Angel Olsen - Burn Your Fire For No Witness 4)Satoko Shibata - Ijiwaru Zenshu 2nd Album by a amazing Japanese female folk singer. 5)Tape - Casino Calm but noisy. Their music nearly accomplished. 6)Keith Jarrett Charlie Haden - Last Dance Full of the beauty of Jazz improvise. I miss Charlie Haden 7) Grouper - Ruins 8)Kevin Morby - Still Life B-side of this record is recent my favorite. It's like early The Pastels. I will collect his records next year. 9)Ron Miles, Bill Frisell and Brian Blade - Circuit Rider 10)Jane Weaver - The Silver Globe

Really few discs I bought in this year. It may be because I'm interested 'Song' these days.

上半期ベスト10です。心を病んだりいろいろあって、あまりレコード買ってません。2013年が豊作すぎたというのもあるかも。未だにThaoのアルバムよく聴いてるもんな。去年あれほど買ってたイレギュラーなインディ・テクノは、ほとんど興味失ってしまいました。いちばんガッカリしたのは、なんとかディフェンスのアルバムかなあ。

そんな中でも'Are We There'は本当に素晴らしかった。'Tramp'も好きだったけど10倍は好きです。音がウォームになって、聴いてて疲れないし、唄もしっかり入ってくる。特にリズムマシンが使われてる曲が、良い。ライブも旬のうちに観れることになって良かった。Julie ByrneとJulia Holterは日程の都合で観れなくて残念です。

今年のYo La Tengoのライヴのチケットを買うのをずいぶん悩んでいたのですが、アルバムを聴いたのが2013年の頭、ライヴが2014年の5月。なんというか、Fade、もう全然聴いてない頃で、なんかタイミングが悪いというか。ライヴはよかったけれど、旬を逃してる感じは否めないなあと。これ別にYo La Tengoに限ったことじゃなく、日本でライヴ見るってそういうことなんだろうな。呼び屋さんたちもがんばってるんだろうけど、重箱の隅つつくみたいなアーティストばかりいいタイミングで呼ばれても、ね。

あと、ユニオンでオーウェン・パレットが表紙の雑誌を立ち読みしたんだけど、Angel Olsenやら載ってるところは良いのだけど、内容はメガネ男子がどうとか、音楽あんまり関係ないんだよね。ARP 2600の記事も音楽について書いてるとは思えなかった。ほんと、洋楽の雑誌って変わらないというか、そんな切り口しかないんだろうか。

しばらくは、どういう音楽を聴きたいか模索したいと思います。呼び屋さんやら、しょうもない雑誌のひとたちやらの作ったヒエラルキーを盲信して聴くもの選んでも仕方ないし。

The work of prolific Brooklynite William Burnett, whose aliases include Willie Burns, Grackle, Speculator, Galaxy Toobin’ (with Eliot Lipp), PG&S (with Jorge Velez) and Smackulator (with Legowelt) is psychedelic in the truest sense of the world. Sprawled across six tracks, Burnett fuses various “outsider” loner genres unto one definitive vision quest all his own, that of the Black Deer. • Pressed in an edition of 400 copies • Hand assembled black foiled museum board on silkscreened covers • Features fold-out poster and stamped labels by artist Marion Guillet available at thisispeakoil.com
