Asian Kung-Fu Generation släpper EP:n Fujieda och singeln Skins

Det japanska rockbandet Asian Kung-Fu Generation har släppt EP:n Fujieda och singeln Skins under två efterföljande månader. Den nya musiken sammanfaller med gruppens 30-årsjubileum, vilket inkluderar utländska spelningar och en arenakonsert.

Den fyrspåriga EP:n Fujieda spelades in i sin helhet på Music inn Fujieda, en studio i ett renoverat 130 år gammalt lagerhus i Shizuoka. Bandmedlemmarna beskrev utrymmet som bekvämt och välplanerat, och noterade dess höga i tak, kraftfulla trumljud och användningen av återvunnet material från katastrofområden, däribland efter jordbävningen på Noto-halvön. Sångaren Masafumi Gotoh sade att han skapade studion för att erbjuda musiker ett prisvärt alternativ till dyra anläggningar i Tokyo.
