商品の説明
Manchester's finest make a welcome return with 'La Petite Mort', the first full length studio album in 6 years. Produced by Max Dingel (Killers. Muse, White Lies) and written as ever, by the band, with Tim Booth lyrics, this new disc ranks among their finest in their 30 year career. Highlights include the mighty first single 'Moving On', the anthemic 'Curse Curse' and 'Frozen Britain', which will be previewed from today online and on air. Max DIngel is the latest in a long line of first class producers the band have worked with including Brian Eno, Gil Norton and Youth. The band have just been announced as headliners for 'Summer in the City', Castlefield Bowl, Manchester July 11th and Camp Bestial, Dorset August 1st with more major festivals and a UK Arena tour to be announced shortly. 'La Petite Mort' was recorded in the wake of Tim Booth losing his mother and best friend in quick succession and understandably many of the songs deal with mortality, hence the album title. However, 'La Petite Mort', is an incredibly uplifting record.

全曲ソラで歌えるのは何日後でしょうか。
発売前に発表されたビデオクリップには死についてのイメージがとても豊かに、でも明るい感じで描かれており、特にMoving Onのビデオは感動的で、一人で盛り上がっていたのですが、アルバムを購入してから詩をじっくり読んで、自分なりに訳しながら意味を考え、もういちどMoving Onのビデオを見たところ、これはヤバイ。本当に泣きそうになった。死ぬことと正面から向き合った結果、恐らくそれは新しい出発にすぎないという考えに至ったのだと推測するのですが、どうでしょう。
詩も素晴らしいのですが、それぞれの楽曲がどれもレベルが高い。確かに派手さはないし、とっつきにくいと思われる方がいらっしゃるかと思いますが、全体のまとまりとか、統一したテーマとか、傑作と呼ぶにふさわしいです。
バンド全体のまとまりも凄まじいですね。アンサンブルとはこういうのを言うのかと実感します。
一つだけ残念なのは、日本流通盤が出ているにもかかわらず、ほとんど出回っていないことです。これを買うために、CD屋を何件回ったか。どうにか改善されればいいのにと思います。

Give James a chance a place in your listening room to savior this underrated band that tried to call it quits a couple of times but thankfully never did.
There are several rather brilliant tracks on the album which make “La Petite Mort” such an engaging, enjoyable piece of work. “Curse Curse”, for example, is a helping of synth-heavy electrifying dance music which surely makes a lyrical reference to “Laid” in the first verse. The “Pour me more tequila” chorus could realistically make it a massive summer club hit and give James their first big chart hit in a while. Oddly enough, it's the type of music that I normally wouldn't choose to listen to, but everything about it just makes me love it. The mixture of dark, tortured and hedonistic lyrics, the throbbing synths raining down on the beats and Tim's superb vocal delivery; utterly irresistible. “Moving On”, with the lyrics dealing with mourning countered by the rather uplifting music, is a classic James track with a very catchy chorus and the rippling arpeggios of “Quicken The Dead” give an instant gratification to a song that simply grows in stature each time you hear it. Perhaps the track I love most of all is “All In My Mind”. It begins with a bare piano and vocal but the big metaphor-laden chorus explodes like rays of sunlight breaking through oppressive cloud. It's a relatively simple song, but truly glorious all the same.
Although those four songs are my absolute choice tracks, it would be doing the record an utter disservice to insinuate that songs like seven-minute opener “Walk Like You”, the life-affirming “Frozen Britain”, or self-damning “Interrogation” were anything less than excellent. Not everything on offer here hits the heady heights of the album's best moments, but there are very few songs that you could say were merely ordinary and certainly none you could call duds. All-in-all, “La Petite Mort” is a intelligent, thought-provoking, very human celebration of both life and death, managing to tackle some very painful issues whilst avoiding morbidity or being at all depressing. Quite the opposite, in fact. The production also allows James to sound fresh and up-to-date without any real risk of them facing charges of being the musical equivalent of mutton being dressed up as lamb. For a group who released their first album just under thirty years ago, that's not bad at all. I have to confess, I've never been a die-hard James fan. I wasn't as enamoured with “Hey Ma” as much as many people were, for example, and out of the twelve albums they have released previously I can honestly say that only three get regular outings on my stereo system, but this terrific album has increased my admiration for the band substantially and will takes its place alongside “Gold Mother”, “Laid” and “Millionaires” as one of my James all-time favourites.
