エアリーなボーカルと夢幻的なサウンドスケープで知られる京都出身のアーティストCuusheが、アルバム「WAKEN」以来となる新曲を発表します。今春リリースされたDaughterと木村和平による写真作品「湖 Awaumi」のために子守唄として書き下ろされたこのシングルは、梁塵にフォーカスした作品であり、平安時代末期に編まれた歌謡集『梁塵秘抄』の名歌「遊びをせんとや〜」からインスピレーションを受けたドラマチックな1曲。韓国のエレクトロニックデュオSalamanda、Asatoneでも活躍するインドネシアのプロデューサーMelati ESPによるダンサンブルなリミックス、日本人エレクトロニカ・アーティスト ausによるアンビエントなリアレンジと、それぞれの個性を活かした3曲も収録されています。
Cuushe has captivated audiences worldwide with her airy, mesmerizing vocals and dreamy soundscapes. Her music, influenced by dream pop and ambient, carefully wraps delicate emotions and memories into her creations. Today, Cuushe proudly announces the release of her new single, Faded Corners. This song, a gem of a lullaby, was specially composed for the shop Daughter x photographer Kazuhei Kimura ‘s work 湖Awaumi. Faded Corners focuses on Cuushe’s beautiful voice and the resonance of “Ryojin”, referencing the legendary anthology of Heian-period songs. This piece brings to life the famous song “Asobi wo Sento Ya~” from the Ryojin Hisho, a collection of superb songs from the late Heian period.
Adding to the excitement, this release includes remixes by three talented artists. The Korean electronic duo Salamanda, Indonesian producer Melati ESP from Asatone, and Japanese electronica/ambient artist aus each bring their unique touch, breathing new life into Faded Corners.
