Gentle, arcane and covertly sweeping, it typifies that friendly strain of experimentalism that Eastern music seems so predisposed towards and which curious minds find such great delight in. Assembled by the enigmatic chanteuse and composer known simply as Haco, After Dinner was less a band and more of a loose art collective that utilized a plurality of different musical disciplines stapled together through free improvisation sessions. And some of this does come through on Paradise of Replica—the record is a scrapbook of bells, strings and koto humming under Haco’s ethereal vocals, and the effect, while perfectly tuneful, does come off more as a musical project than a conventional album." ーAguirre Records, Belgium - September 2022) ■ Label / レーベル ■ Aguirre Records (Belgium) https://www.aguirrerecords.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/after-dinner-paradise-of-replica-lp ☁ Reviews (excerpts) / レビュー (抜粋) "The Japanese avant-garde pop band strove to create a “sacred ambiance” on their second album, fusing unconventional arrangements with bouncing volleyballs and an eyes-wide air of wonder." “It’s rare that art-pop matches its extravagance with such alluring modesty. In doing so, Paradise of Replica feels like encountering cinematic spectacles in miniature.” —Joshua Minsoo Kim (Pitchfork, September 30, 2022) pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/after-dinner-paradise-of-replica/ ＊ ※Limited edition CD "Paradise of Replica / Paradise of Remixes" (Remastered 2000) is available at Mescalina. ※CDエディション盤「パラダイス・オブ・レプリカ / パラダイス・オブ・リミックス」(2000年リマスター版)は、Mescalinaで販売中です。
