The 5th installment of the label's classic “split ep series” is a combination of France's Orwell, and the paselines who decorated the beginning of the label's inaugural compilation "blue-very pavilion"
Orwell is a French pop band by Jérôme Diderot from Nancy, France. They have been active since the 90's and have released domestic albums from Quince Label in the past. Because of that, it has gained popularity among indie pop fans since that time. He is also a talented group with numerous collaborations such as Fugu, Tahiti 80, Indonesia's White Shoes And The Couple Company, and Canada's Heavy Blinkers! ! In recent years, he has collaborated with former Belle And Sebastian female singer Isobell Campbell and Japanese singer-songwriter Sugar Me in another unit, Son Parapluie. His characteristic is soft singing voice and soft rock or mellow indie pop taste sound.
the paselines is a band that suddenly formed at a New Year's party in 2018. Three Berry Icecream (ex.Bridge) Mayumi Ikemizu, centering on Nakamura "Nakkuru" Takashi who was active in a band called Cat Flowers. Chiharu Mizukami, the only female member of Dronjo Kept By 4, known for being released from Nagoya's label Galaxy Train. and Mayu Nakamura and Masahito Oikawa join as a five-member band. Until now, there has been no single release, only compilation recordings from our label. As you can imagine from the band name, I have a longing for the famous Edinburgh C86 legendary band The Vaselines.
The mix was done by each of them, the mastering was by Kenichiro Kozono from small garden, the artwork was by Asuka Iwabuchi, and the front photo-created was by davis k.clain.
