ニューヨーク/クイーンズ拠点の Michael Raj, Frantz Cesarによるデュオ HOAXが、6/15にリリースしたニューシングル 'Beach House ii'を公開！
インディーポップ、モダンロック、オルタナティブR＆Bが融合した彼らならではの味がしっかり出てる素敵な楽曲。ここぞって時のアクセントの鮮やかさやベースの音量がとにかく好み。
かなり前からアナウンスされているデビューアルバム『b?』は今年後半についにリリースするようです。
“This past year for me – and I would only imagine for most of us – has been a year of introspection. Being stuck inside – even if you tried to ignore it in the beginning – probably led to every one of us having a reckoning with ourselves. To me, ‘Beach House ii’ is the aftermath of one of those reckonings. The older we get, the more critical we think of our past decisions and actions. So much so that some of us can live the rest of our lives consumed in regret. This song is my reminder to not keep any of those regrets, and to realize that your short term priorities will not be the moments you think about in the future, so don’t put them before or above the important things. If there is anything this past year of magical thinking has taught me, it’s that, ‘Life changes fast; life changes in the instant’ (Joan Didion), but it’s important to hold on to the people and the things that you hold dear. Otherwise, you’ll end up a 20-something year old dripping with regret, writing a song like this.” - Michael Raj
