Track List
既存の価値観が激しく揺れ動く中で新たな目印を探し求める現代において、コマーシャルに揺れない真に生きた表現とは何かをテーマにshape of raw to comeを制作。
前作の持つ凶暴性を多彩なダンスミュージックへ落とし込み、未知の風景が複雑に重なり合いつむがれた叙情は、本作が単なるジャンルではないオルタナティヴロックの本来の意味である急進的な音楽であることを証明している。
レコーディング・ミキシングエンジニアにツバメスタジオ/君島結を迎え録音。
アートワークは水谷太郎の写真、BIENのドローイングを元にYOSHIROTTENがディレクション担当
CDジャケットは、現代にフィジカルでデジタルリリースする意味を思索し、12面折込仕様の特殊ケースにて作成。

In this day and age, when people are searching for new landmarks amidst the violent fluctuation of existing values, Shape of Raw to Come was created with the theme of what is truly living expression that is not swayed by commercialism.
The lyricism of the previous album's ferocity dropped into a variety of dance music, and the complex layering and weaving of unknown landscapes proves that this album is not just a genre, but radical music in the true sense of alternative rock.
Recorded with recording and mixing engineer Yui Kimishima of Tsubame Studio.

The CD jacket was created in a special 12-sided fold-out case to reflect the meaning of a physical digital release in this day and age.

"shape of raw to come" (9 tracks), the masterful second album released in fall 2022 by the hatch, a frontline alternative dance band embodying the current scene, where post-hardcore, Afro, Latin, jazz, avant-garde free improvisation and bass music — a whole range of styles and rhythms — collide in chaos, sparking with an unidentifiable ferocity and energy, razor-sharp and sleek, with rhythms that pulse and cling. The sonic imagery is beautiful too. It came out back in September 2022, but let us recommend it to you once again. Check out the tracklist as well. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
