Album review
Sudan Archives / Natural Brown Prom Queen
デビューアルバムである前作で高評価を得たSudan Archivesの3年ぶりとなる2nd。その前作からの神秘的でエキゾチックなところをベースにしつつ、特に冒頭の2曲などを象徴にアフロ色が強い傾向にある。それ以外にもPopな曲や、逆にクールな曲などジャンル横断的でバラエティの富んだ構成になっている。それもそのはず、制作が変わっていて、Sudan Archivesが作ったデモテープをマネージャーのBen Dickyが、様々なProduceに送って色付けしたもらったものを、再度、取捨選択、ミックスさせて完成させるというプロセスを踏んでいる。結果として、多様ではあるが、トーンが統一された作品に仕上がっている。
Lyricのほうはパーソナルで内省的なものが多いようだ。
