京都出身で東京を拠点に活動するバンドHAPPYによる自主リリースカセット。60s-70sサイケロックを彷彿とさせるバンドサウンドと、アンビエントミュージック的空気感の融合!! 心地よくソフトにサイケデリックなロックとSUN ARAW的ディープさも共存する大推薦カセットです◎


HAPPY's "Ancient Moods Mahollova Mind" is their third full-length album in five years, and most of the songs were recorded in the members' home studio, which was built up during the pandemic disaster. As the album title suggests, the theme of the album is an ancient fascination and an exploration of the mind, and it has a new sound with an exotic atmosphere, as is typical of HAPPY's exploration of music that has never been heard before. In addition to their usual instruments, the members themselves play a variety of instruments such as the Taishogoto, lyre harp, bansuri, conga, and djembe, expanding their range of expression while maintaining the catchy approach of their previous works. Mastering was done by Timothy Stollenwerk, who has worked with Wooden Shjips and Drugdealer, and the depth and dimension of the sound has been increase.

These days when the times are extremely turbulent, what we need to do is search our hearts and minds.
By following our hearts, we seek peace of mind, approaching “Mahollova.”
Exploring the origin and root of sound, ancient memories and rituals emerge.
When was the dawn of sound and how did it come to be connected with the human heart? Reflecting on these ancient moods, the mind of Mahollova begins.


時代のうねりが極まる近年、人々に必要なのは心の探究——
心の安穏を探し求めればやがて「まほろば」にたどり着き
音の起源、根源を見つめれば太古の記憶や脈動が浮かび上がる
音はいつ生まれ、どのように人の心に繋がってきたのだろう
感情の原始へ思い馳せ、その先に見えたまほろばの心がそこにあった。
