I'm obsessed with the eclectic vibes of ZUTOMAYO's album "潜潜話" - it's like a fashion editorial come to life, where bold, funk-infused rock meets elegant, expressive vocals. Led by the captivating ACA-Ne, this debut full-length release embodies the band's unique style, effortlessly blending catchy pop-rock with intricate musical arrangements. With a runtime of about 56 minutes, "潜潜話" is the perfect companion for a night in, where you can indulge in its glossy production and get lost in the emotional depth of its lyrics. The album's energetic atmosphere is infectious, balanced by moments of introspective lyricism that add a layer of sophistication to its overall sound. Whether you're a fan of Japanese rock, pop, or funk, "潜潜話" has something for everyone, making it a truly compelling listen.
The way ZUTOMAYO combines funk rhythms with compelling vocal delivery is nothing short of mesmerizing, as seen in standout tracks like "脳裏上のクラッカー" and "優しくLAST SMILE". These songs showcase the band's ability to craft memorable hooks and intricate musical arrangements, leaving a lasting impression on listeners. With their mysterious aura and minimal visual presentation, ZUTOMAYO only adds to the allure of "潜潜話", making it a must-listen for anyone looking to discover new sounds. As a debut album, "潜潜話" sets the bar high for ZUTOMAYO's future releases, and its invitation to the 2019 Fuji Rock Festival is a testament to the band's talent and dedication to their craft. With "潜潜話", ZUTOMAYO has created a unique blend of sounds that is both fresh and captivating, making it an absolute must-listen for music lovers everywhere.- Elodie
