Returning to his native England after an extended sojourn in America, Robert Plant heavily reconnects with his homeland's mysticism on 2014's lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar. Despite the shift in geography, the singer is picking up a thread he left hanging with 2010's Band of Joy. On that album, Plant blurred boundaries between several musical styles, playing covers with a group assembled by producer Buddy Miller, but here he shifts that omnivorous aesthetic to a collection of originals performed with his ever-changing band the Sensational Space Shifters. Certain flourishes sound familiar -- he remains equally enamored of English and Moroccan folk while retaining an enduring obsession with American blues and psychedelia -- but the feel is different, not as robust as Band of Joy or warmly joyous as Raising Sand. The Ceaseless Roar may not get loud -- usually, when it rocks it sounds like a kissing cousin to a folk rave-up; sometimes, as on "Somebody There," it's chiming, crystalline, and bright like the Byrds -- but it is intensely meditative, finding sustenance within mystery. Plant is reflecting on where he's been -- singing "And if the sun refuses to shine" on "Pocketful of Golden," he tips a hat to his Zeppelin past; elsewhere he speaks of getting lost in America -- yet gingerly avoiding questions of mortality and resisting the allure of easy sentimentality. It's possible to hear the weight of his years on lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar -- it is, in the best sense, mature music, dense in its rhythms and allusions, subtle in its melodies -- but he never feels weary, nor does he traffic in false nostalgia. He's building upon the past, both his own and the larger traditions of his homeland, both spiritual and actual, and that gives lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar a bewitching depth. It's an album to get lost in. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

商品の紹介

Rolling Stone - 3 stars out of 5 -- "It's Plant's hardest-rocking set in a decade." Paste (magazine) - "Made with the aptly named Sensational Space Shifters, the musicians merge and converge in ways that confound on paper, yet delight as they fall together." Pitchfork (Website) - "LULLABY reasserts his sense of globe-trotting adventure while retaining the low-key elegance of his post-millennial output." Clash (Magazine) - "[O]ne of his best-ever solo records..This album consolidates a love of world music with heavy rock and folk in a feverish celebration."

アリソン・クラウスとの共演盤『Raising Sand』以来、好調をキープし続けるロバート・プラント。〈サマソニ〉出演も記憶に新しいなか登場したこの新作は、近年活動を共にしているセンセーショナル・スペース・シフターズ(メンバーにはジャスティン・アダムスの名も!)とガップリ組み、ほぼ全編オリジナル曲で勝負に出ています。オリエンタルなギターの響く“Pocketful Of Golden”はツェッペリン“Kashmir”が老成したような出来だし、〈砂漠のブルース〉やグナワ音楽にふたたび接近しながら聴き手をトランス状態に誘うナンバーもあれば、カラッと小気味良いブルーグラス曲もあり、どの年代のファンも大満足させる一枚に。貫禄と余裕が滲み出ていて、理想的な歳の取り方をしているな~とつくづく。
