Covid-19の影響は世界中に広がりましたが初期段階で影響を大きく受けたのはイタリアとスペインなどの国でした。本作は3LAが日本流通を担当するイタリアEMO、Rivieraのディスコグラフィーカセットですが、3LAでの流通分に関してはbandcampでのデジタル売上をサイトの手数料を差し引いた全額をバンド側へ寄付させていただきます。
リリースは限定100本プレス、カセットはクリア&イエローとブラックのスプラッター仕様。
2010年前後のEMOリバイバルはUSからEUにも広がっていたと思うんだけど、RivieraはEmoでもあり激情でもありメロディックでもありロックでもあった。多彩な楽曲の幅もそうだけど哀愁を帯びたメロディと質感は活動初期から一貫していて、2018年作の『contrasto』ではオリジナリティが結実していると感じる。ありきたりな表現に陥ることを絶妙に回避しながら、哀愁メロディを躍動感のある叫びと演奏で表現していく様は2010年代のUS/EUシーンでのメインストリームなムーブメントとは無縁であるかもしれないし、そもそも英語じゃない。だけどRivieraのローカル感には何かしら共鳴したくなるものがある。そんな深読みと勘違いを暴走させながら聴いてる僕の夏休み。
The influence of Covid-19 has spread all over the world, but in the early stages it was the countries like Italy and Spain that were the biggest influences. This is a discography cassette of Italian EMO and Riviera, and we will be donating all digital sales from the 3LA distribution to the band, minus the site's commission.
The release is limited to 100 pressings and the cassette is available in clear and yellow and black splattered versions.
I think the EMO revival around 2010 was spreading from the US to the EU, and Riviera was both emo and furious, melodic and rock. The range of their diverse songs, as well as their melancholy melodies and textures have been consistent since the beginning of their career, and I feel that their originality has come to fruition on 2018's "contrasto". The way Riviera delicately avoids falling into clichés, while expressing their melancholy melodies with vibrant screams and performances that may not be associated with the mainstream movement in the US/EU scene of the 2010s, and it's not English to begin with. But there's something about Riviera's local feel that makes you want to resonate with them. I've been listening to Riviera on my summer vacation, letting my misconceptions and misconceptions run rampant.
