Elephant Gymが２年半振りとなる待望の新曲をリリース！

前アルバムでホーンセクションやボーカリストとのコラボも多かったが、本作はElephant Gymの魅力が最大限に発揮された、ピュアなスリーピース・スタイルで制作された楽曲だ。

テクニカルなのに生々しく感情的なベース、叙情的でメランコリックなギター、絶妙なグルーヴ感を出しながらも優しくバンドアンサンブルを包み込むドラム。曲名は“Highway”と名付けられ、Elephant Gym代表曲の一つである”Midway”からの流れも想起される。2023年末にアルバム「WORLD」をリリース後、一年間に及ぶワールドツアーやドキュメンタリー映画公開などを挟んで、待望の新曲となる。

＜STATEMENT＞
歩いている人も、車を走らせている人も、電車に揺られている人も。
あらゆる旅路にいる人たちへ。
流れ去っていく景色は、私たちが成長していること、そして同時に死へ向かっていることを思い出させる。それは私たちが旅立っている最中でありながら、ゆっくりと故郷へ帰っている途中でもあることを教えてくれる。
