RELEASE NOTES:
OH ME, OH MY! This is so darn good that it's hard to sit
straight. Japanese artist World's End Girlfriend's spanking
new album, "The Lie Lay Land" is like watching a film by
Emir Kusturica or Jan Svankmajer, who portray a fleeting
fantasy ludicrously and poignantly at the same time, or like
been hooked by the films of Lars von Trier and Gaspar Noe,
who always sway our emotions with a relentless and extremely
demanding story progression. World's End Girlfriend, like
those films, shows us a fictional world as a finished work.
It is so evoking, detailed and suggestive that the only
thing you can do is to stand still, lie down, take it all
in.
This is the third release by Japan's World's End Girlfriend.
Having had unprecedented success of his two previous albums,
"Farewell Kingdom" and "Dream's End Come True", he bridged
genre gaps and was widely praised by the fans of techno,
abstract, post-rock, avant pop and electronica. His musical
career includes the performance in Sonar festival 2002 in
Barcelona, and the successful tour in Taipei, Hong Kong and
Macao in 2004.
"The Lie Lay Land" sees WEG return with a band of freaky
epic raw drums, horns, piano and a bass guitar, and tens of
layers of guitar noise and cobwebs while retaining his well
known style: excessive editing, collage and elegant strings
arrangement. With this he (his real name being a secret) has
created another grandeur fiction, 10 tracks, 80 minutes
long. Do do do step inside this universe.
The artwork on the cover of "The Lie Lay Land", the
illustration of a well-known author of picture books, Komako
Sakai, visually portrays World's End Girlfriend's vision of
the world.
