商品の紹介

――発信したい人だらけの世の中で、この音楽に耳を傾けてくれてありがとう。
ニッケル・クリーク、パンチ・ブラザーズ等で活躍する超絶技巧派マンドリン・プレイヤー/シンガーソングライター、クリス・シーリーがアメリカの老舗ラジオ番組「プレーリー・ホーム・コンパニオン」で毎週発表していた"ニュー・ソング"が1枚のアルバムに!クリスから全ての"聴く耳を持っている人たち"への粋な音楽の贈り物。それが『THANKS FOR LISTENING』だ!

発売・販売元提供資料（2017/11/10）

Released a little over a year after Chris Thile took over as host of the public radio variety show A Prairie Home Companion, Thanks for Listening collects ten Song of the Week features from his inaugural season. Each song was an original written for that week and premiered live on the show. Finding a common theme among personal, societal, and political topics in some of the songs -- namely, the art of listening -- Thile headed to the studio with producer Thomas Bartlett to record selections for a cohesive album. On these versions, the mandolin virtuoso covers stringed instruments except bass and viola, and sings lead, though he's joined on some songs by guest vocalists Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O'Donovan, and Gaby Moreno, all Prairie alumnae under Thile. One of the album's flashier mandolin performances can be found on the spare "Balboa," whose multicultural wanderlust receives intricate and nuanced accompaniment. By and large, though, Thanks for Listening puts a premium on songs over chops, not that there's any lack of instrumental proficiency here. An atmospheric track like "Feedback Loop," for instance, uses a slow tempo, keyboards, and echo along with acoustic instruments. After setting an intentionally lethargic tone, lyrics get at our ability to filter unwelcome opinions on social media and elsewhere ("Feedback Loop, I play you to soothe my closed eyes/Closed mind/Open wounds/Open hate for anyone out of the Feedback Loop"). Later, the poppier "Falsetto" grapples with the constant derision, real and imagined, from a post-election Donald Trump, including what he might have to say about an activist musician. Other songs address fatherhood, family gatherings, and friendship in the context of the time's technology and politics. Despite its more collaborative origins, Thanks for Listening plays like a singer/songwriter album from Thile, one with moments of humor, poignancy, dread, and playfulness. Particularly "for anyone trying to hear through the din of a boorish year," it captures the Zeitgeist of the first half of 2017 with a very human touch. ~ Marcy Donelson

レビュー

パンチブラザーズの中心人物であり、2017年はブラッド・メルドーとのデュオでジャズ界にも鮮烈な印象を残したマンドリンの革命児が久々のソロ作を発表。前作から5年、とはいえそれもバッハ作品、パンチ結成以降ということであれば初のソロだ。アントニー・アンド・ザ・ジョンソンズのトーマス・バルトレットを共同プロデュースに迎え、パンチが示すブルーグラスというジャンルの大幅な拡張を更にポップに昇華したサウンドはインディーロックリスナーにも是非聴いて欲しい。旧知の仲であるサラ・ジャローズやイーファ・オドノヴァンらとのデュオも瑞々しく、彼のSSWとしての魅力が見事に開花している。
