about

AD, a guitar unit consisting of guitarists Akinori Yamazaki and drowsiness living in Kyoto, will release their first new album "Shallow Water" on March 9.

This will be the first time in six months after the releasing of the single "Spindrift" , which released on June 30, 2021, and became a smash hit mainly in Southeast Asia, being added to several Spotify Taiwan playlists.

The album was recorded at RedBull Studio Tokyo and at FOSSIL STUDIO, Akinori Yamazaki's private studio. The songs, which focus on the backgrounds and tastes of both Akinori Yamazaki and drowsiness, are a cross between Tokyo and Kyotango, one urban area and one relatively suburb. It is a work where the atmosphere of Tokyo and Kyotango, the big city and the nature, intersect. There are 11 tracks in total, including the lead track "Shallow Water" inspired by the shoals of the Japan Sea facing Tango Peninsula, which is also the concept of the album.

The album was mixed and mastered by Makoto Oshiro, the same as the previous single "Spindrift feat. Four Pens", and the artwork was created by Akiko Nakayama, who has been collaborating with drowsiness on their live performances and artwork for many years.
