about

Space Donuts Delivery, the debut LP by Tokyo-based musician NEICHUR. Rui Yagi helms the project, which makes its debut with this album. He uses analog synthesizers, electronic and field recordings to produce non-linear compositions that take listeners on a soothing space journey.

There are many things in this world that bring us down, but it is precisely because of such a world that beautiful things shine with exceptional beauty. Only beautiful things can affirm your existence. This album may be such a thing for someone. A comfortable chaos. (If I were to describe this album in one phrase, it would be this.)

It's like Tinkerbell or a tree spirit, so mysterious and innocent, yet sometimes mocking, sometimes a little angry, and sometimes a blessing.
Even if the sounds are completely unpredictable, the next time you listen to them, you'll feel everything is in the right place and that the sounds are dotted around exactly where they should be.

Synth arpeggios duck and dodge the clicks, scattering, saturating, clustering... changing shape at a dizzying pace.
NEICHUR’s keyboard playing is classical yet as simple as possible, it is elegant yet sometimes innocent, and above all, his sense of melody is outstanding.
The quality of the white noise and distortion is very comfortable, enveloping the entire piece like an endless universe.

Mort Garson's "Plantasia" is a great ambient / pop work, but this album exists in a more chaotic space beyond pop-ness. If Hiroshi Yoshimura's "Green" is a watercolor, “Space Donut Delivery” is an oil painting.
The density of the sound is so thick that it has a three-dimensional effect, as if the sound were physically there with you. Like using a brush to place colors as freely as one pleases on a pure white canvas, NEICHUR also arranges the sounds freely, but carefully, one by one.

Personally, alongside 2814's "The Birth of a New Day (新しい日の誕生)", this is a most special ambient album that I want to listen to when I am alone.
I hope you too will experience the universe of sound.

-Saito Masaru (Planto)

世の中にはうんざりすることも多いが、そんな世の中だからこそしかし、美しいものは一際美しく輝く。美しいものだけが自分の存在を肯定してくれる。
誰かにとって、このアルバムはそういう存在になりうるかもしれない。居心地の良いカオス。(このアルバムを一言で表すとしたらこうだ)

まるでティンカーベルや木霊のように、とても神秘的で無垢なのに、時に嘲笑ったり、少し怒ったり、祝福したりもする。全く予測できないのに、次に聴く時には全てそこにあることが正しかったと思ってしまうほどに、音があるべき場所に点在している。
シンセのアルペジオはクリックをゆらゆらとかわしながら、散ったり飽和したりギュッと固まったり、目まぐるしくかたちを変えていく。クラシカルだが極力シンプルな彼の鍵盤捌きは優雅で、時に無邪気だし、何よりメロディセンスが際立っている。ヒスノイズと歪みの質感はとても心地良く、果てない宇宙のようにこの作品全体を包み込んでいる。

Mort Garsonの”Plantasia” はアンビエントとしてはもちろん、ポップスとしても素晴らしいが、このアルバムはポップネスの向こう側のもっとカオスな空間に存在している。
吉村弘の "Green" が水彩画だとしたら、SDDは油画だ。音の濃度が濃く、音がそこにいる様な立体感がある。真っ白なキャンバスの上で思うがままに筆を振り色を置いていくように。NEICHURも自由気ままに、しかし一つひとつ丁寧に音を配置していく。

個人的には2814の" 新しい日の誕生" に次ぐ、1人になった時にふと聴きたくなる格別なアンビエントアルバムのひとつになった。
あなたにも是非、音の宇宙を体感してほしい。

-Saito Masaru (Planto)
