ライヴ活動休止期間を経て、いよいよ本格的カムバックと位置付けられるであろう4作目。果たしてその中身は、彼らのサウンドの核を剥き出しにしたような、シンプルにして異物感たっぷりのアルバム。チキチキとせわしない16ビート、パイプオルガンを思わせる厳かなキーボード、ブリブリ唸るベースという、一見してミスマッチな要素が一丸となって押し寄せ、次々と予想を裏切る展開を繰り広げていく。そんなニューウェイヴ～ポスト・パンクな振る舞いこそ、彼らが凡百のバンドと一線を画すポイント（＝批評性）だと再確認できるし、何か吹っ切れたようなゲイリーのヴォーカルに象徴的な、バンド・サウンドのフィジカルな心地良さがたまらない。見事な復活作と言いたい!

MowMowLuLuGyaban  "Champs-Elysées"

After taking a hiatus from live performances, Japanese rock band MowMowLuLuGyaban has released the fourth album which can be characterized as their full comeback album. It is simple but packed with lots of foreign elements as if their core sound were laid bare. Restlessly ticking 16th note rhythm, solemn keyboard sounds like a pipe organ and groaning bass lines - these seemingly unmatched elements surge as one toward you, and take many unexpected twists and turns. Such a new wave and post punk approach, indeed, precisely indicates the feature that distinguishes them from other bands, which is their critical spirit. The fond caress of the band sound represented in Gary's unbound vocals is simply irresistible. This, indeed, is one fine revival album!
