Noble label releases albums under the concept of "music for daily life" and it started
the new year 2007 with Gutevolk. Her new album "tiny people singing over the rainbow"
marks the label's 14th release.
Gutevolk is the project of Hirono Nishiyama who
is known through various releases from Nobukazu Takemura's "Childisc" and Haruomi
Hosono's "Daisyworld" labels. After her last album "suomi" which was her first band
effort, she created movie soundtracks and music for TV commercials, toured
Europe
and released a mini album from Taylor Deupree's label "Happy". This album is her
first full album in three and a half years.
Nobel label's Kazumasa Hashimoto co-produced Gutevolk's
new album, arranging, mixing and mastering her creations. His outstanding arrangement
and processing techniques wrap her innocent but dignified and noble vocals which
have attracted Nobukazu Takemura and Masakatsu Takagi and her absorbing melody line.
While this album covers multiple music genres such as jazz, bossa nova, soft rock
and electronica, it creates high intensity work, becoming the future standard of
"pop music".
Her vocals evoking faint nostalgia and a stream
of tracks with catchy melody lines and beautiful harmony will take listeners on
their own internal journey to a past, a future, a bottom of the ocean or an end
of the universe.
