イングランド/ゲーツヘッド拠点のシンガーソングライター Liz Corneyが、10/18にButterfly Effect・Quiet Crownからリリースしたデビューアルバム『We Need New Eyes』より、'Ceremonies'を公開！

今回のアルバムがソロとしては初のフルレングスで、共同プロデュースは同じく Field Musicの David Brewis (School Of Language, Roxy Girls, Slug)。
ひねりのあるポップス満載の軽やかな作品で、秋口にぴったりだなーって思いながら楽しめました。MV付きの収録曲もある中で個人的に刺さったのがこれ。テーマもユニークで良かったな。おすすめです。
“This song is about not doing some of the significant milestones that form part of adulthood. Consciously and unconsciously. Merrily living one's life and then suddenly feeling quite aware you haven't done those things. Feeling both invisible and highly conspicuous at the same time, which can be unbalancing; a sense of being off kilter when moving through the world. To me this song is like your working out page at school. I also wanted to use some of those images that remind me of my mother and her skills, her taking up hems, altering my clothes. I really love an outtro that goes somewhere else so this end section, even though it's repeating the same observations from earlier in the song, seem to take on a different meaning because the feel of the music changes to something more assertive and joyful. And the marimba part was very fun to play.”
