Welcome to Strange Village ~ Invitation to the dizzying pop labyrinth ~
This is the solo debut album from Kondo Kentaro, who is active in a wide range of fields including The Bookmarcs, the Sweet Onions, and Snow Sheep.
Kondo Kentaro, whose first solo sound source "Begin" (7-inch analog) released in 2021 became a secret topic, and the album announcement was eagerly awaited. It is a full album that reflects the wide range of music such as British rock from the 1960s onwards, including The Beatles, American pop from the 1970s, film music, neo-acoustic, power pop, and dream pop, and is a true culmination of the current atmosphere.
Produced by Masahito Oikawa (Ricarope, Tokiwa Yu) in collaboration with Kondo, guest musicians include Mari Sugi, Kenichiro Kozono (small garden), Koichi Nishida of the vegetablets, Miki Nishida, maaya, and marin. Fumika Arasawa and davisk.clain (photograph) participated in the design and photography. Mastering was done by Kiyoyoshi Sato (microstar, nicely nice). It is a masterpiece that was carefully crafted with the help of artists who are deeply respected.
Kondo Kentaro's invitation to the "Strange Village" he imagines. This is a slightly mysterious and fascinating pop song, and we hope you will listen to it as if you are traveling beyond the sky and into a world of stories seen in a dream.
This time, in addition to our own company, we have also collaborated with FLY HIGH RECORDS and philia records to produce this release.
