With a title that's a play on words, Methyl Ethel's third album of a self-described trilogy, Triage, was produced, performed, and recorded by Jake Webb at his home studio, though its lush, lopsided textures hardly sound like what was a solo effort until the mixing stage. Parts melancholy, trippy, and dancy, he combined programmed and traditional instruments, including his own synth timbres, layering them in ways that sound more like atmospheric arena fare than what was essentially a one-man recording project. (At this point, Webb continues to perform live with bandmates.) Having said that, Triage sounds a little older and wiser than Methyl Ethel's first two albums without relinquishing the project's psychedelic quality and dissatisfied demeanor. In fact, he adds another component, weaving an '80s new wave/post-punk influence into his complex blend of neo-psychedelia, introspective alt-rock, and dream pop. In the most obvious example, "Trip the Mains" offers blunt, early Casio-style synth tones, needling synth bass, and post-disco drum-machine beats on a wistful dance tune that Webb has said was influenced by listening to the Cure and Scary Monsters at the time. Songs like "Scream Whole" and "Real Tight" also evoke the turn of the 1980s with glistening, staccato keyboard chords, yearning vocal lines, and ringing melodic guitar. Elsewhere, the giddy, operatic "Post-Blue" takes a more dramatic turn as it travels through sections that vary in tempo, rhythm, instrumentation, and key. It's reflective of an album that's part catchy song, part shimmering atmosphere, and part fractured rumination. It will be interesting to see what Webb comes up with for album four; in the meantime, Triage offers Methyl Ethel's most immersive collection to date. ~ Marcy Donelson

商品の紹介

前作『Everything Is Forgotten』(2017年作)が西オーストラリア音楽業界賞(WAM Award)で最優秀アルバムと最優秀ポップグループを受賞し、収録シングル「Ubu」は本国でゴールド認定されるなど、大ヒットした2ndアルバムで一気にスターダムへと上り詰め、さらにはUKツアーも全公演完売させ世界的な人気を獲得したバンド、メチル・エチルが〈4AD〉より新作をリリース!
フロントマンのジェイク・ウェブの天才的な作曲・作詞センスが遺憾無く発揮された本作でも、同郷のテーム・インパラやポンド、そしてカット・コピーにまで通じる抜群のエレクトロニックなサイケさと、ブラッド・オレンジのような80'sミュージックにモダンソウルを吹き込んだR&B感に、推進力のあるリズムとシャープだが陶酔感のあるギター・サウンドは健在。前作で既製された音に、ニューウェーブのグルーヴが加えられた「All The Elements」(M-3)、ザ・キュアーの「Let's Go To Bed」の泡立つスリル感に、デヴィッド・ボウイの「Ashes to Ashes」の溶けるようなシンセが合わさったような「Trip The Mains」(M-4)、キーボード主導のファースト・シングル「Scream Whole」(M-2)、そして最も中毒性の高いキラー・ チューン「Real Tight」(M-6)などを収録。2019年最重要作となるであろう1枚がここに完成した。

NME - "The record flirts with '80s synth-pop just the appropriate amount, and sheds some of the more experimental aspects in rather ruthless fashion. The result is, more often than not, quite dazzling." Paste - "TRIAGE is the colorful, clanging review of Webb's antsy psyche, full of perfectly fine dance tunes..."

ディアハンターやベイルートなど新作ラッシュに湧く4ADのなかでも、とりわけ注目しておきたい一枚! オーストラリアのサイケデリック・ポップ集団が放った2年ぶり3枚目のこのアルバムには、80年代風の退廃的なダークウェイヴ・サウンドが詰まっていて、デッド・カン・ダンスらが築いた4ADのカラーともぴったりハマり、思いがけずレーベル設立40周年を祝うような趣が。前作に比べて楽曲のスケール感がアップし、ミステリアスなシンセ音と微熱を帯びた中性的なヴォーカルの駆け引きに、バンドの高い美意識を感じます。キャッチーなメロディーによって聴き手を選ばない点も好印象。4ADの看板を背負う存在へと急成長したどころか、世界規模での大ブレイクさえ期待したくなる会心の出来です。
