"The band's seventh album, which takes the ensemble sound from their previous work, *Standing Still at the Speed of Light*, to the next level. With Naoyuki Uchida serving as engineer, GOFISH spreads its wings wide in this latest release, set within a three-dimensional soundscape."
GOFISH(ゴーフィッシュ):名古屋を拠点に活動するテライショウタのソロ・プロジェクト。GOFISH名義で過去6枚のアルバムをリリースし、2021年にリリースした前作『光の速さで佇んで』よりバンド編成での楽曲を発表。2023年の最新作『GOFISH』でも、潮田雄一、中山努、元山ツトム、藤巻鉄郎、墓場戯太郎、井手健介、浮(ぶい)を迎え、そのアンサンブルをスケールアップさせている。テライはまた日本屈指のハードコア・バンド、NICE VIEWのボーカル&ギターとしても知られ、2019年より活動開始したSIBAFÜにギタリストとして参加している。

As a lead single, “Serious Face” (sample_3)—which conveys a strong sense of positivity as the artist seeks a beacon of hope and connection amidst the chaos of everyday life—has already been released as a lead single on various streaming platforms. However, romantic ballads like “Melody” and “Sunshine,” which don’t hesitate to sing directly about love, have now become GOFISH’s true hallmark. The rhythmic breathing—a breath of life—that captivates the ear in the chorus of “Endless Road” (sample_1), which suddenly shifts into reggae, and the masterful arrangements in “Paw Diary” (sample_2), which reveal their side as cat lovers. And then there’s the overwhelming heaviness celebrated in “Kemono” and “In the Wasteland,” which slow down their unpretentious folk-rock sound. The sense of vast, desolate loneliness that emerges here is something only GOFISH could achieve. And as the album draws to a close, it sows a powerful seed in the listener’s heart—all while we hope the refrain of “Lies and Guitar,” a song that’s been a hit at live shows, will never end. As morning breaks and the faint sunlight streams in, please accept the seeds from this album, *GOFISH*, which will bear bountiful fruit within the hearts of those who listen.
