It has been announced that SSW’s Nozomi Nobody will release her new EP “Dawn (Side-B)” on Wednesday, November 6th.
This album was produced by yahyel vocalist Shun Ikegai, and the two spent about three years working on it through trial and error. It contains the same five songs as “Dawn (Side-A)” released last December, but in different arrangements. The songs, which Nozomi Nobody says “feel all the loneliness and sadness in them,” are expressed in a majestic sound based on electronic music by Ikegai, and Nozomi Nobody’s singing voice resonates ephemerally and beautifully, blending in with them.
Engineer Yui Kimijima (Tsubame Studio) participated in the recording/mixing and mastering of some of the songs. Photographer Fujii Yui provided the artwork. The lead single “Sweet Dreams (Side-B)” will be released on Wednesday, September 25th.
[Comment from Nozomi Nobody]
I decided to make this work, and before I knew it, three years had passed since I met Ikegai at a cafe in Sangenjaya to talk. I got lost, stopped and went back many times, and struggled to make it until the very end. It really expresses my unreliability and awkwardness, and at the same time, it also has a persistent stubbornness that permeates and seeps out here and there, making it a very human piece, as I finally listen to the completed master again.
[Comment from Takashi Ikegai]
My consistent impression of Nozomi is that her songs are more honest than her words. I feel that this habit, which I can’t do anything about, is a songwriter’s sympathy, a rebellious spirit against the state of the world, and an intangible foundation for this project. I’m really glad we’ve come this far. Congratulations on the completion.
