〈PPU〉や〈Arcane〉からのリリースで注目され、ユニークなアーチストの多いバンクーバーのインディペンデントシーンの中でも 一際ユニークな個性でワールドワイドに人気となったYU SU。彼女の祖国でもある中国のbié Records(LPはMusic From Memory)からリリースした「Yellow River Blue」(2021)以来となるYU SU名義でのリリース。
Pinchy & friends is delighted to present the latest offering from Kaifeng-born and raised, Vancouver-based musician Yu Su.
In her first major release of original music since 2021’s acclaimed “Yellow River Blue” LP, Yu Su says elements for the EP began to form during time spent in the deserts of Ojai, California and the fertile coastal areas around her home in British Columbia. Of the new release, Yu Su says the ideas are thanks to “the objects around (colors, reflections of light, wood burning in the fireplace, and material rhyme with the sounds in the room) the desert and valley plants, the ground where citrus grows, and the flood a rainstorm created.” She notes that “the golden earth is the changing point of the matter, earth centers, stabilizes, and conserves, nurtures, and seeks to draw all things together with itself.”
Likewise, the four varied pieces of the EP match four very different landscapes: Earth-of-water (Wet/Cold Earth) Earth-of-Fire (Arid/Hot Earth) Earth-of-Metal (Dry/Hard Earth) Earth-of-Wood (Loose-Fertile/Warm Earth).
Additional guitar and bass were provided by Scott Johnson Gailey and Aiden Ayers - who also play in Yu Su’s live band.
The vinyl release comes on 180g vinyl in a full-colour sleeve by Seoul based Lobde Kim, with OBI STRIP.

Alex KassianやJaz、Dreems、Ruf Dogなど良いリリースの続くPinchy & Friendsのレーベルから。カリフォルニア州オーハイの砂漠やブリティッシュコロンビア州の自宅周辺の肥沃な海岸地帯での生活の中で生まれたという４曲で構成されています。
「周りにあるもの（色、光の反射、暖炉で燃える薪、部屋の中の音と韻を踏んだ素材）、砂漠や谷の植物、柑橘類が育つ大地、暴風雨が作り出した洪水」 などがアイデアの源流で『黄金の大地は物質の変化点であり、大地は中心であり、安定させ、保存し、育み、万物をそれ自体とともに引き寄せようとする 』と記しています。
You're MeでのパートナーAiden Ayers(public possesion)名義でもリリースしているScott Gaileyがギター、ベースで参加しているとのことです。 (サイトウ)
