The band kanekoayano, led by Kaneko Ayano, will release their 1st album, "Stone Thread," on CD and vinyl. The album "Stone Thread" by kanekoayano, led by Kaneko Ayano, was released digitally as a surprise on April 25th. This is their first full album under the name "kanekoayano" since the band name change last August, and their first album in about two years since "The Blanket is Calm." They spent a year in pre-production with band members Hirotoshi Hayashi on guitar and takuyaiizuka on bass. They added drummer Sei Nagahata and percussionist Ryotaro Miyasaka as support members, forming a five-piece band, and recorded all the songs in about two weeks. The album includes 10 songs, including re-recordings of "Lucky" and "Not Lonely." While maintaining Kaneko Ayano's signature folky side, the arrangements have become significantly more flexible. Psychedelic songs have become more psychedelic, and songs approaching krautrock and dub have evolved and deepened in an experimental way, incorporating congas and steel pans to paint various landscapes with each song. This is a very band-like work, with each member's individuality reflected in the songs more than ever before. The jacket artwork is newly drawn by the artist TIDE. Brand new, unopened item.
