New Single is OUT NOW!
So excited to share my new music "Parallel" with you.

Jun Futamata released a new song "Parallel" recorded at Sigur Rós Studio in Iceland.

The song is a vocal piece focusing on Jun Futamata's signature "voice," and is her first completely a cappella work, with melodies built entirely from her own voice intertwining beautifully with each other.

In the trailer of the music video, three Jun Futamata sing against the backdrop of the spectacular Icelandic scenery, which changes one after another, in an impressive video. Field recordings were made at each shooting location.

Directed by Hiroshi Usui, who has directed music videos for artists such as Ringo Shiina and CHARA, the ambitious film was shot and recorded at various locations while circumnavigating the island of Iceland.

About the film, Jun Futamata said,
"Glaciers with a global warming problem
A heart signal that sustained people's hearts
Blue canyons of columnar joints that once sank to the bottom of rivers
Black sandy beaches formed by lava flowing from volcanoes into the sea
Sheep walking slowly along a road
In Iceland, I felt that all life and minerals existed equally.
With the music video I recorded while touring the island for a week
I hope you can feel the scenery and air I saw. "

To be included in Iceland recorded album to be released this fall.

アイスランドのシガーロススタジオにてレコーディングした作品を連続リリースしているJun Futamataが、新曲「Parallel」を公開。
この曲は、Jun Futamataの持ち味である「声」にフォーカスしたヴォーカリーズ曲で、本人の声のみで構築された旋律がうつくしく絡み合う初の完全アカペラ作品。
次々と切り替わるアイスランドの絶景をバックに3人のJun Futamataが歌唱する印象的な映像になっている。各撮影地点では、フィールドレコーディングも敢行された。
椎名林檎、CHARAなどのMVを手がけるウスイヒロシ氏を監督に迎え、アイスランドの島を1周しながら、各地で撮影・録音された意欲作となった。

本作についてJun Futamataは、
「温暖化の問題を抱える氷河
人々の心を支えたハートの信号
川底に沈んでいた柱状節理の青い渓谷
火山から海に流れ出た溶岩でできた黒い砂浜
ゆっくりと道路を歩く羊たち

アイスランドでは
あらゆる生命も鉱物も同等に存在していると感じた

島を1週間かけて巡りながら記録した映像とともに
私が体感してきた景色と空気を感じ取ってもらえたら嬉しい」
とコメントしている。

今作は、今年秋にリリースされるアイスランドレコーディング作品集にも収録予定となっている。アナログ盤、カセットテープの予約ページも公開された。
