SPARTA released their new album “Pacific” today, Wednesday, September 18th.
If the previous album, “Signs,” was created in the midst of positive changes in the world around SPARTA, this album can be said to be the opposite. It contains 11 songs that were created in a situation where they felt lost in a maze due to mental illness and could not find a way out. This album also expresses pain and suffering, but it is a work that leaves a strong impression of SPARTA’s determination to survive the rough waves of the ocean with their family, while asking themselves questions, like a killer whale.
The songs are based on familiar melodies like SPARTA’s previous works, but they also have a diverse musicality, ranging from introspective to energetic. JJJ and PAZU appear as guests, and the production is mainly done by SPARTA himself, with MONBEE and MIZUKAMI also providing the tracks.
