Yura Yura Teikoku - Hollow Me / Beautiful (2009)

DFA Records combined Beautiful (Utsukushii) and Hollow Me (Kuudou Desu) for a full-length CD released in November 2009. This is the title of the album for the first time in two and a half years. This work, which is a deepening of the psychedelia with a gentle sparkle that appeared in last year's masterpiece single "Into the Next Night", is ridiculously beautiful with overflowing mellowness and melancholy just floating in the void. For example, "I'm going to school", which sang the school route in the Ayashii forest, floats in the air with anxiety and joy that will definitely not reach school. This strange floating feeling that sways and sways and confuses both the time axis and the space axis is comparable to the illusion of Kang's "Future Days", the monumental tower of Krautrock. What is drawn here is the discomfort and pleasure in a cruelly beautiful box called "Cavity". No, I've reached a ridiculous place.
