Personnel: Takashi Ueno (vocals, guitar, banjo); Saya (vocals, guitar, melodica, piano, keyboards); Markus Acher (vocals, guitar, harmonium, keyboards, drums, percussion); Mat Fowler (vocals, guitar, stones, tapes, toys); Tadklimp (vocals); Mathias Gotz (trombone, piano, bass drum, percussion); Cico Beck (keyboards, drums, electronics). Audio Mixer: Tadklimp. Recording information: Niko's Studio, MUnich (11/2016). Photographer: Mat Fowler. A collaboration between the Notwist's Markus Acher, Tenniscoats' Saya and Takashi Ueno, and other friends, Spirit Fest's self-titled debut album is an inspired mix of the talents involved. Recorded in an apartment studio during a couple of weeks while Tenniscoats were in Munich to play Acher's Alien Disko festival, Spirit Fest's vibe is so relaxed and spontaneous that it's easy for listeners to feel like they're in the room with the band. The guitars, keyboards, and piano that blanket these songs add to the cozy feel while grounding the group's various songwriting styles, whether it's the whimsy of Takashi's "Nambei" and "Shuti Man," Saya's gently hypnotic "Mikan," or Acher's embodiment of a drizzly afternoon, "Rain Rain." Given the project's nature, it's not surprising that some songs wander more than they might have been allowed to in a more formal setting, but moments such as the experimental jam "Inklings" and "Hitori Matsuri" -- which sounds like a lullaby even as Saya and Acher sing the praises of being awake while everyone else is sleeping -- capture the album's pleasantly rambling atmosphere. Rambling doesn't mean lazy, however; little touches, like the lovely harmonies on "To the Moon" or the glockenspiel sprinkled like sugar over "Deja Vu," elevate each song. Spirit Fest transcend their homey atmosphere and deliver something more profound on "River River," a beautiful meditation on change that's as thoughtful as any of the Notwist's ballads. All in all, Spirit Fest is a charming working holiday and celebration of friendship. ~ Heather Phares

テニスコーツとミュンヘンのノーツイストが合体して出来た不思議な世界。さやの透き通った歌声とマーカス・アーチャーのメランコリックな歌唱が交差しながらふわふわと弾む入口からして、幻想的で情趣たっぷりな景色が展開されている。個性豊かな電子音の響きと植野隆司らしい哀切感溢れる旋律が融合して心地良いまどろみを生む様に、〈これぞコラボのあるべき姿〉と強く感じ入るばかり。
