The 3rd EP, Hollyhocks in September, was released as the third installment of a three-month consecutive release project by the idol group Aquarium and Clematis, whose activities revolve around three themes: life, live performances, and journey. Each EP in this release project features different music creators, and the tracks on Hollyhocks in September were crafted by Hata Yusuke, the vocalist and guitarist of the Tokyo-based rock band cruyff in the bedroom, known as the king of shoegaze. The EP includes three tracks: Aquarium and Clematis's cover version of cruyff in the bedroom's "TAIPEI GIRL SWITCHBLADE," "All I Talk About Is You," inspired by the streets of Koenji, and "Girls Gonna Be Free," depicting the sparkling nights of Hongdae in Korea.
The EP's title, Hollyhocks in September, reflects the idea of hollyhocks that bloom during the rainy season, but what if they bloomed in September? It affirms the depth of reality, where imagination overlays the real world.
To you, who dances in Taipei, Koenji, and Hongdae. To the city where you might dance. Following the 1st EP, which explores the relationship between reality and fiction (stories), and the 2nd EP, which focuses on the relationship between different times, this EP reflects on the connection between cities and people.
A four-member idol group that operates along three axes: 'daily life,' 'live performances,' and 'travel.'
