The album concludes with mellow electronica, showcasing a masterful storytelling structure. A delightful pop electronica masterpiece! The long-awaited new album from Lupeux is here!! The first in a new series with a melancholic worldview. The new album from pop electronica artist Lupeux! After releasing the album trilogy "Unicorn," "Waltz," and "Memories," Lupeux, whose nostalgic melodies have been the talk of the town, has become a leading artist in the pop electronica scene. This fourth album is the first in a new pop album series that Lupeux is starting! This work reflects Lupeux's melancholic worldview even more intensely. In addition to roots in electronica, jazz, film music, and progressive rock, influences from symphonic music, traditional/folk/Celtic music are woven in, expressing a POP feeling not found in previous works. The album opens with "Matador," which reinterprets and develops jazz, followed by songs that challenge new elements, such as "Gate," which features a fast acoustic guitar arpeggio over jazz, and "Rejoneo," which has a unique mood. The first half is colored by these tracks. The album's characteristics include songs that digest and output jazz, electronica, rock, etc., in a Lupeux-esque way, such as "Alamillo," a confident work with impressive guitar cutting, and "Alma," which emotionally expresses Lupeux-like piano sounds. "Unhappy Kingdom," the album's title, is taken from the name of a poetry collection by an unknown female poet, and it is a melancholic and fantastical waltz. The CD jacket for this work features illustrations by illustrator Kimi Sekiguchi, and the beautiful illustrations are also a highlight. The long-awaited first album in the new series from Lupeux is here! Includes 10 tracks in total. Electronica 379
