Label: Moving Furniture Records

当店が長い事推し続けている孤高の女性シンガーソングライターSoccer Committeeの1st作が17越しで初再発！！オランダの大ベテランMachinefabriekことRutger Zuyderveldtと古くから親交があり、彼のサポートのもと非常に質の高い弾き語りやアンビエント作を残してきたSoccer CommitteeことMariska Baars。長らく入手困難となっていた2005年の1st自主制作盤が拡張仕様で初リイシュー！！徹底したミニマムなギター&歌声の進行はこの頃の作風でも確認が出来、全編に渡り沈黙と倍音を上手く使い儚い白昼夢イメージを創出。ラスト2曲は盟友Machinefabriekとアンビエント・アーティストWouter Van Veldhovenのリミックスとなっています。200部限定。







These songs were written between 2004 and 2005, when I had just discovered how I wanted to approach the phenomenon of 'song'. I had created songs with just voice for years, and now had found that the guitar could help tell me what mattered to me. I felt I could create a space by carefully experiencing and 'watching' voice, guitar, silence and overtones. I enjoyed this making of quiet songs, where I could voice things that would get lost in a crowd. I remember wondering if I should try to release them, being concerned about losing my own intimate space to create the little prayers I sang to myself. But I overcame this concern, spread some cd-r's and got to play in all kinds of nice places, finding my life enriched by meeting wonderful people, music lovers. So, it's just wonderful that 17 years from then we're still connected and Sietse offered to give these songs an official release, and Wouter and Rutger both joined in for a magical remix. It makes it shine even brighter to me.
