大森がインディー時代から率いてきたロック・バンドのデビュー作にしてラスト・アルバム。収録曲は大森がソロで発表してきたナンバーを中心としつつ、このバンド名の由来とされる加地等のカヴァーも収められており、小森清貴(壊れかけのテープレコーダーズ)、高野京介(うみのて他)といったアクの強いメンバー5人のエモーショナルで荒々しい演奏が、ひたすらに爽快。活動終了があまりにも惜しい。

 

[English Translation]
Oomori Seiko and The Pink Tokarev  "Tokarev"

The first and last album from the rock band led by striking singer-songwriter Oomori Seiko since her indie-era. Bearing Oomori's past solo tunes as main ingredients, the piece also contains a cover version of late folk singer Hitoshi Kaji's track (whose band name 'Pink Tokarev' is considered to be named after). Incorporating guitarist Kiyotaka Komori (vocal and guitar of rock band Kowarekake no Tape Recorders), guitarist Kyosuke Takano (also guitar of rock band Uminote et al.) and 3 others, the fiercely hard and emotional play of the distinctive 5 members appears entirely refreshing. No doubt this just-broke-up band is already missed so badly.
