Gig Soup - Dark Model Saga

We have continued to have reviews on “Saga” from news and music websites such as The 405, Beat Dot Media, and Gig Soup. Following the vol.1, we would like to provide the excerpts from some of them here. We appreciate that these journalists and critics picked “Saga” and wrote the awesome articles.

“The record speaks on invincibility, it deals with the basic human desire to succeed and to be bulletproof, and with Saga, Dark Model is bulletproof.”

(Marie Flounoy, The 405)

“Oe is clearly a genius when it comes to music that shouldn’t work well together becoming something quite enjoyable and inspiring.”

(Jon Niles, Gig Soup Music, Originality:90/100, Content:91/100)

“You’ve watched epic sagas on the big screen with songs that played in the background as the hero saved the girl or the good guys battled to save the lives of everyone. You’ve felt that power, and that power is something you can feel when you listen to Dark Model. It’s like an epic adventure for your ears.”

(Yvonne Glasgow, Beat Dot Media)

“Listening to “Saga,” Dark Model’s sophomore release, I felt like I was simultaneously being pulled back into the past and catapulted into the future.”

(Chris Kompanek, The Huffington Post)

“On “Saga,” fans of both orchestral music and dance floor anthems will unite as this album does a masterful job at combining both genres seamlessly together. At times, there will be an epic, over-the-top choir that is filled with intense emotions and at other times, the pulsating beats will have the listener swaying to the infectious rhythms.”

(Isiah Reyes, Enter The Venture)

新作のミックスダウンが佳境を迎えている。一つの曲をずっと聴き込んでいると、どうしても耳も頭も近視眼的になっていく。この仕事を長く続けている割に(だからこそ、かな)、僕は「神は細部に宿る」という職人的なエリート意識や美学があまり好きではない。本当の意味で全てのプロセスに責任を持つならば、時間、クオリティ、そしてビジネスを俯瞰するバランス感覚と実行力、そして「モメンタム(勢い)」が不可欠になる。

昔、フランスのレーベルBarclayのアーティストのリミックスを手掛けた縁で、その後数年間新譜が届くようになった。当時彼らが注力していたのがフェミ・クティで、アルバムもリミックスもDJで重宝した。先日、久々に見た彼のライブ動画に1曲目から度肝を抜かれた。あの「Truth Don Die」が、当時のクラブマーケットに向けたプロダクションを遥かに凌駕する、爆発的な生演奏へと進化していたのだ。最高に血が沸き立つ音楽。

「ブックスマート(学識)」と「ストリートスマート(現場知)」。この二つは対立する能力のように語られがちだが、本質はトレードオフではなく「掛け算」の関係だと思う。つまり片方が備わっていても十分ではないし、伸びしろは幾らでもある。ただ、徒手空拳の生き方に憧れて生きてきた僕が、後者のタイプに強く惹かれるのには理由がある。彼らは、自分を偉く見せようとする虚栄心こそが最もスマートではない、という真理を肌感覚で知っているからだ。
