Barbara releases her first album “Vacation Disco” today with full CG animation music video

Barbara released her first full album, “Vacation Disco,” today, June 19th (Wednesday). In addition, a full CG animated music video for the track “Deeper” was released.

Barbara is a Kansai-based duo that has been gaining attention for their sound that is based on 80s electropop and 90s club music via disco, while also deeply linking with the current domestic and international indie scene. This album contains 10 songs based on 80s electropop and 90s club music via disco music, with a touch of modern indie music. While keeping in mind the catchiness unique to disco pop, the album was produced to have a dramatic development when listened to as a whole.

The music video was directed by asaco, a 3DCG creator who also worked on the album’s cover artwork.

In addition, the release party for this work will be held at Shimokitazawa LIVE HAUS in Tokyo on Saturday, July 20th, and at NOON+CAFE in Umeda, Osaka on Saturday, August 10th. The Osaka performance will feature guests the telephones, and DJs DAWA (FLAKE RECORDS) and Nakashima Seiji (ALFFO RECORDS).
