Lyric

One Foot Cast in Plaster

Minami Kitasono

その日は午後

暗室でアシッドにむせ

夕方 白い箱で

エタノールを吸い込み

よろめく

ベッドに吊るされ

形作られた

石膏の足の対岸

紺のブレザーがうなずく

彼らと僕らを

懸け隔てるものは

姿かたち持たぬ

教えの壁だった

静脈 裏路地

白いコンバースで蹴る

僕らはひとり

飛行船の雲に考える

砂を飲む湖に

街が伸び

一匹のマラードは

家を探す

信じる悲しみ

失う喜び

姿は移ろうが

壊すことはできない

コラールの

ぬくもりの外

君らはリノリウムに

熱を奪われていく

彼女はうつむき

ギプスに落書き

飾らぬショートヘアが

ひざの上 無造作に流れる

君らと僕らを

懸け隔てるものは

砂の城が見せる

濁流の幻影

動脈 町筋

ドクターが舐める

僕ら ひとつ満たされ

陰鬱に暮れる

"Meridian," the 1st album released from Phyllite Records, an independent label founded by Minami Kitasono, who works as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer.

Featuring nine tracks influenced by diverse genres such as AOR, City Pop, Soul, Jazz, and Fusion, all composed using full scores. Leveraging his skills as a composer and multi-instrumentalist, the album presents intricate arrangements and a unique musical style.

Actively incorporating remote recording, recordings of horn and string sections were conducted in Germany and Ukraine. By completing large ensemble pieces in a single apartment room, it introduces new possibilities as a "next-generation home recording album."

Kitasono himself took on comprehensive production duties, handling all vocal and instrumental recordings through self-recording. Furthermore, from sound design to mixing, he maintained thorough quality control throughout the production process.

The cover art features René Magritte's painting "Hegel's Holiday," visually symbolizing the album's universe.
