Swiimers 정규 1집 [Swiimers High]

그 시절 겨울날이면 우리는 그저 떠들고 울고 취해서 만났다 헤어지고 금세 또 만났다. 시간이 이상하게 차고 넘쳐서, 영원을 믿지 않아도 이미 매일이 영원 같았다. 번지는 입김이나 흐르는 술처럼 금세 사라지는 것들을 오래 음미했다. 하도 절박해서, 찰나여도 아쉽지가 않았다.

밴드 스위머스의 첫 정규앨범 [SWIIMERS HIGH]는 잊어버린 그 겨울날을 꿈결처럼 되돌려준다. 첫 싱글 ‘Polaris’(2015) 이후 10년이 흘렀어도, 스위머스는 여전히 유영하듯 당연하게 ‘순간’ 위에 있다.

흐르는 시간을 붙잡아 벼린 12곡이 앨범을 채웠다. 표류하고, 휘발되며, 깜빡이고, 쏟아지는 순간들을 잡아채 두터운 기타 노이즈와 속삭이는 목소리로 펼쳐냈다. 만화경처럼 어지럽고 화려한, 때로는 위태로운 사운드가 곡을 가득 채워도 불안이 느껴지진 않는다. 밴드의 무르익은 솜씨 덕분일까. 원년 멤버인 리더 조민경(기타·보컬)과 장선웅(드럼)에 더해 송재경(기타·프로듀서)가 새 멤버로 합류했다.

‘영원을 믿지 않아도’와 ‘Kinght Verse’, ‘Winter Resolution’까지 ‘약속 3부작’을 이룬 기발표 싱글들이 앨범의 뼈대가 되고, 영원하지 못해 영원처럼 아름다운 것들이 그 사이를 채운다.

첫 곡 ‘아름다운 시절’ 부터 그렇다. 긴긴 표류 위로 소환된 옛 시절은 도무지 위로가 되지 않아도, 어쩔 수 없이 아름답다. ‘Gravity(닻)’는 “나비가 날아다니고 꽃비가 쏟아지는”, 그러나 영원할 수 없는 ‘지금’을 닻처럼 묶어두려 하고, ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’에선 순간에 정박하는 대신 그저 흐르는 파도가 되는 쪽을 택한다.

당연하게도, 곧 휘발하는 아름다움에 머물고 싶은 마음은 자주 지친다. 두 번째 트랙이자 타이틀곡 ‘MOMMY’는 “무능하고 무용한 몸으로부터” 떨어지고 싶은 마음에게 “네 잘못이 아냐”라며 안아준다. 고된 절망을 다정한 멜로디가 껴안는다. 가슴 벅찬 위로다.

부서지는 시간 사이를 항해하는 속에 뜻밖에 귀를 잡아끄는 곡은 ‘Neon Blue’다. 스위머스에게서 듣기 어려웠던 낮은 목소리다. 네온처럼 빛나고 백열전구처럼 따스하다. 마지막 곡이자 앨범명이기도 한 ‘SWIIMERS HIGH’는 그야말로 순간의 축제다. 높이 없는 높이, 깊이 모를 깊이, 어쩌면 영원 속에서의 끝없는 유영을 꿈꾸게 한다.

12곡을 다 통과하고 나면, 어쩐지 몸과 마음이 예민해진다. 좋은 일일까. 잘은 몰라도, 삶이 지금보다 짜릿해지는 데 도움이 될 것이다. 수영 후에 마시는 맥주처럼, 시원하고 어지럽다.

[Swiimers High] Producer's Note

K-Pop의 심장을 가진 노이즈 록, 세계로 뻗어나갈 준비 완료

팬, 뮤지션, 프로듀서, 엔지니어, 제작자, 작사가로 한국 대중음악계의 변방을 유랑해온 지난 30여 년간 많은 희로애락과 흥망성쇠를 목도하고 경험해 본 바, 오래 남는 뮤지션의 공통적인 특징은 ‘대체 불가성’이다.

이번 앨범을 만들며 스위머스가 있어야 하는 이유, 스위머스가 아니면 안 되는 이유에 대해 많이 생각했다.

스위머스의 노랫말은 매우 아름답고 완성도가 높다. 어쩌면 순수문학, 시에 가깝다고 할 수 있는데, 그만큼 함축적이고 어렵기도 해서 유심히 살펴봐야 숨은 의미들을 찾아낼 수 있다. ‘MOMMY‘에 깃든 어떤 정신, ’Knight Verse‘의 지울 수 없는 아픔, ‘Neon Blue'가 그리는 이 시대 청춘의 삶과 상념, ’Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis'에 담긴 위로가 온전히 전해질 수 있기를.

스위머스의 음악 스펙트럼은 넓지만 사운드는 간결하고 일관적이다.
Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division, Slowdive 등 포스트/인디록 계통을 즐겨 듣지만 알고 보면 에스파와 크러쉬의 팬이기도 한 조미치의 복합적인 음악 취향과, Acidman, Arctic Monkeys와 같은 스트레이트한 록을 즐기는 장선웅의 취향이 스위머스 사운드의 토대를 이룬다.
청량한 리듬 위에 기타 이펙터와 신시사이저가 자아내는 꿈결 같은 소리들이 폭신한 이불처럼 쌓이고, 훅이 살아있는 팝적인 멜로디와 공기(Air) 가득한 조미치의 목소리가 그 안에 포근히 파묻히면 ‘스위머스 같다’고 밖에는 설명할 수 없는 사운드가 완성된다. 프로듀서로서 ‘K-Pop의 심장을 가진 노이즈 록’ 정도로 정의하고 싶다.

스위머스는 탄탄한 기반과 폭넓은 확장성을 갖고 있다.
2016년 발매된 데뷔 EP는 국내뿐만 아니라 해외에서도 소소한 관심을 받은 바 있으며, 2017년 리버풀 사운드 페스티벌 출연과 영국, 베를린 클럽 투어를 통해 스위머스는 해외 시장에서의 가능성을 확인했다. 올해 9월 선공개된 싱글 ‘Erika’는 폴란드, 캐나다 등지의 음악 웹진으로부터 호평을 받았고 11월 예정된 태국, 일본 투어도 현지에서 많은 기대를 받고 있다.

스위머스의 확장성은 장르적으로도 설명될 수 있다. 나른한 베드 룸 팝 감성의 첫 곡 ‘아름다운 시절’을 시작으로 통통 튀는 기타 팝 ‘MOMMY', 초기 국내 인디 씬을 연상시키는 ‘Neon Blue', 정통 포스트록 팬들이 반길 만한 ’Ice & Fire', 결혼식 축가로 만들어진 ‘Gravity', 슈게이징 레전드에 대한 오마주를 담은 ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’까지 이번 앨범에는 형형색색의 음악이 종합선물세트처럼 담겨있다.

EP 이후 정규까지 많은 시간이 흘렀지만 ‘영원을 믿지 않아도’(2018), ’Knight Verse'(2022), 'Winter Resolution'(2022) 싱글 발매 등 활동은 꾸준히 이어져왔다. 2024년부터는 그간 제작자 겸 프로듀서로만 참여해온 9(=접니다...)가 기타 멤버로 들어와 라이브 사운드 전반을 정비하고, 홍대 클럽 정기 공연으로 무대 감각을 익히는 등 활동 기반을 다졌다. 이제 세계로 뻗어나갈 준비가 끝난 것이다.

18:T25d9,Swiimers 정규 1집 [Swiimers High] 그 시절 겨울날이면 우리는 그저 떠들고 울고 취해서 만났다 헤어지고 금세 또 만났다. 시간이 이상하게 차고 넘쳐서, 영원을 믿지 않아도 이미 매일이 영원 같았다. 번지는 입김이나 흐르는 술처럼 금세 사라지는 것들을 오래 음미했다. 하도 절박해서, 찰나여도 아쉽지가 않았다. 밴드 스위머스의 첫 정규앨범 [SWIIMERS HIGH]는 잊어버린 그 겨울날을 꿈결처럼 되돌려준다. 첫 싱글 ‘Polaris’(2015) 이후 10년이 흘렀어도, 스위머스는 여전히 유영하듯 당연하게 ‘순간’ 위에 있다. 흐르는 시간을 붙잡아 벼린 12곡이 앨범을 채웠다. 표류하고, 휘발되며, 깜빡이고, 쏟아지는 순간들을 잡아채 두터운 기타 노이즈와 속삭이는 목소리로 펼쳐냈다. 만화경처럼 어지럽고 화려한, 때로는 위태로운 사운드가 곡을 가득 채워도 불안이 느껴지진 않는다. 밴드의 무르익은 솜씨 덕분일까. 원년 멤버인 리더 조민경(기타·보컬)과 장선웅(드럼)에 더해 송재경(기타·프로듀서)가 새 멤버로 합류했다. ‘영원을 믿지 않아도’와 ‘Kinght Verse’, ‘Winter Resolution’까지 ‘약속 3부작’을 이룬 기발표 싱글들이 앨범의 뼈대가 되고, 영원하지 못해 영원처럼 아름다운 것들이 그 사이를 채운다. 첫 곡 ‘아름다운 시절’ 부터 그렇다. 긴긴 표류 위로 소환된 옛 시절은 도무지 위로가 되지 않아도, 어쩔 수 없이 아름답다. ‘Gravity(닻)’는 “나비가 날아다니고 꽃비가 쏟아지는”, 그러나 영원할 수 없는 ‘지금’을 닻처럼 묶어두려 하고, ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’에선 순간에 정박하는 대신 그저 흐르는 파도가 되는 쪽을 택한다. 당연하게도, 곧 휘발하는 아름다움에 머물고 싶은 마음은 자주 지친다. 두 번째 트랙이자 타이틀곡 ‘MOMMY’는 “무능하고 무용한 몸으로부터” 떨어지고 싶은 마음에게 “네 잘못이 아냐”라며 안아준다. 고된 절망을 다정한 멜로디가 껴안는다. 가슴 벅찬 위로다. 부서지는 시간 사이를 항해하는 속에 뜻밖에 귀를 잡아끄는 곡은 ‘Neon Blue’다. 스위머스에게서 듣기 어려웠던 낮은 목소리다. 네온처럼 빛나고 백열전구처럼 따스하다. 마지막 곡이자 앨범명이기도 한 ‘SWIIMERS HIGH’는 그야말로 순간의 축제다. 높이 없는 높이, 깊이 모를 깊이, 어쩌면 영원 속에서의 끝없는 유영을 꿈꾸게 한다. 12곡을 다 통과하고 나면, 어쩐지 몸과 마음이 예민해진다. 좋은 일일까. 잘은 몰라도, 삶이 지금보다 짜릿해지는 데 도움이 될 것이다. 수영 후에 마시는 맥주처럼, 시원하고 어지럽다. / 경향신문 김지혜 기자 [Swiimers High] Producer's Note K-Pop의 심장을 가진 노이즈 록, 세계로 뻗어나갈 준비 완료 팬, 뮤지션, 프로듀서, 엔지니어, 제작자, 작사가로 한국 대중음악계의 변방을 유랑해온 지난 30여 년간 많은 희로애락과 흥망성쇠를 목도하고 경험해 본 바, 오래 남는 뮤지션의 공통적인 특징은 ‘대체 불가성’이다. 이번 앨범을 만들며 스위머스가 있어야 하는 이유, 스위머스가 아니면 안 되는 이유에 대해 많이 생각했다. 스위머스의 노랫말은 매우 아름답고 완성도가 높다. 어쩌면 순수문학, 시에 가깝다고 할 수 있는데, 그만큼 함축적이고 어렵기도 해서 유심히 살펴봐야 숨은 의미들을 찾아낼 수 있다. ‘MOMMY‘에 깃든 어떤 정신, ’Knight Verse‘의 지울 수 없는 아픔, ‘Neon Blue'가 그리는 이 시대 청춘의 삶과 상념, ’Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis'에 담긴 위로가 온전히 전해질 수 있기를. 스위머스의 음악 스펙트럼은 넓지만 사운드는 간결하고 일관적이다. Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division, Slowdive 등 포스트/인디록 계통을 즐겨 듣지만 알고 보면 에스파와 크러쉬의 팬이기도 한 조미치의 복합적인 음악 취향과, Acidman, Arctic Monkeys와 같은 스트레이트한 록을 즐기는 장선웅의 취향이 스위머스 사운드의 토대를 이룬다. 청량한 리듬 위에 기타 이펙터와 신시사이저가 자아내는 꿈결 같은 소리들이 폭신한 이불처럼 쌓이고, 훅이 살아있는 팝적인 멜로디와 공기(Air) 가득한 조미치의 목소리가 그 안에 포근히 파묻히면 ‘스위머스 같다’고 밖에는 설명할 수 없는 사운드가 완성된다. 프로듀서로서 ‘K-Pop의 심장을 가진 노이즈 록’ 정도로 정의하고 싶다. 스위머스는 탄탄한 기반과 폭넓은 확장성을 갖고 있다. 2016년 발매된 데뷔 EP는 국내뿐만 아니라 해외에서도 소소한 관심을 받은 바 있으며, 2017년 리버풀 사운드 페스티벌 출연과 영국, 베를린 클럽 투어를 통해 스위머스는 해외 시장에서의 가능성을 확인했다. 올해 9월 선공개된 싱글 ‘Erika’는 폴란드, 캐나다 등지의 음악 웹진으로부터 호평을 받았고 11월 예정된 태국, 일본 투어도 현지에서 많은 기대를 받고 있다. 스위머스의 확장성은 장르적으로도 설명될 수 있다. 나른한 베드 룸 팝 감성의 첫 곡 ‘아름다운 시절’을 시작으로 통통 튀는 기타 팝 ‘MOMMY', 초기 국내 인디 씬을 연상시키는 ‘Neon Blue', 정통 포스트록 팬들이 반길 만한 ’Ice & Fire', 결혼식 축가로 만들어진 ‘Gravity', 슈게이징 레전드에 대한 오마주를 담은 ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’까지 이번 앨범에는 형형색색의 음악이 종합선물세트처럼 담겨있다. EP 이후 정규까지 많은 시간이 흘렀지만 ‘영원을 믿지 않아도’(2018), ’Knight Verse'(2022), 'Winter Resolution'(2022) 싱글 발매 등 활동은 꾸준히 이어져왔다. 2024년부터는 그간 제작자 겸 프로듀서로만 참여해온 9(=접니다...)가 기타 멤버로 들어와 라이브 사운드 전반을 정비하고, 홍대 클럽 정기 공연으로 무대 감각을 익히는 등 활동 기반을 다졌다. 이제 세계로 뻗어나갈 준비가 끝난 것이다. / 9(송재경) [스위머스 Swiimers] 조미치 MQ CHO 장선웅 Jang Sun Woong 송재경 Jay Song [Tracks] 01. 아름다운 시절 작사/작곡 Lyrics and Composed by 조미치 MQ CHO 편곡/연주 Arranged and Performed by 스위머스 Swiimers 02.

[Swiimers High] ملاحظة المنتج روك ضجيجي بقلب "كي-بوب"، جاهز للانطلاق نحو العالم. خلال الثلاثين عاماً الماضية التي قضيتها في أطراف موسيقى البوب الكورية كمعجب، وموسيقي، ومنتج، ومهندس صوت، ومنتج تنفيذي، وكاتب كلمات، شهدت واختبرت الكثير من الأفراح والأحزان والنجاحات والإخفاقات. وقد وجدت أن السمة المشتركة للموسيقيين الذين يتركون أثراً طويلاً هي "عدم القابلية للاستبدال". أثناء صناعة هذا الألبوم، فكرت كثيراً في السبب الذي يجعل وجود Swiimers ضرورياً، والسبب الذي يجعلها الوحيدة القادرة على تقديم هذا العمل. كلمات أغاني Swiimers جميلة جداً وذات مستوى عالٍ من الإتقان. يمكن القول إنها أقرب إلى الأدب الخالص أو الشعر، ولهذا السبب فهي رمزية وصعبة، بحيث يجب تدقيق النظر فيها للعثور على المعاني الخفية. آمل أن تصل الروح الكامنة في "MOMMY"، والألم الذي لا يُمحى في "Knight Verse"، وحياة وأفكار شباب هذا العصر التي ترسمها "Neon Blue"، والعزاء المودع في "Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis" بشكل كامل إلى المستمعين. إن الطيف الموسيقي لفرقة "سويمرز" (Swiimers) واسع، لكن صوتهم بسيط ومتسق. يتشكل أساس صوت سويمرز من الذوق الموسيقي المركب لـ "جو ميتشي"، الذي يستمتع بموسيقى البوست/إندي روك مثل Bon Iver وSigur Ros وJoy Division وSlowdive، ولكنه في الوقت ذاته معجب بـ aespa وCrush، بالإضافة إلى ذوق "جانغ سون وونغ" الذي يفضل الروك المباشر مثل Acidman وArctic Monkeys. فوق إيقاعات منعشة، تتراكم الأصوات الحالمة التي تخلقها مؤثرات الجيتار وأجهزة السنتيزر مثل لحاف ناعم، وعندما يندمج معها لحن بوب حيوي وصوت "جو ميتشي" المليء بالهواء، يكتمل صوت لا يمكن وصفه إلا بأنه "يشبه سويمرز". ومن وجهة نظري كمنتج، أود تعريفه بأنه "نويز روك بقلب كي-بوب". تمتلك سويمرز أساساً متيناً وقابلية واسعة للتوسع. فقد حظي أول ألبوم قصير (EP) صدر عام 2016 باهتمام بسيط ليس فقط محلياً بل ودولياً أيضاً، ومن خلال المشاركة في مهرجان ليفربول للصوت عام 2017 وجولة النوادي في بريطانيا وبرلين، تأكدت سويمرز من إمكانياتها في السوق الخارجية. كما نالت أغنية "Erika" المنفردة التي صدرت مسبقاً في سبتمبر من هذا العام إشادات من المجلات الموسيقية الإلكترونية في بولندا وكندا وغيرها، وهناك توقعات كبيرة في تايلاند واليابان للجولة المقرر إقامتها في نوفمبر. يمكن تفسير قابلية سويمرز للتوسع من الناحية النوعية أيضاً. فبدءاً من الأغنية الأولى "الأيام الجميلة" (Beautiful Days) التي تحمل إحساس "بيدروم بوب" (Bedroom Pop) الخامل، وصولاً إلى "MOMMY" التي تعد جيتار بوب مفعماً بالحيوية، و"Neon Blue" التي تذكرنا ببدايات مشهد الإندي المحلي، و"Ice & Fire" التي قد يرحب بها عشاق البوست روك التقليديون، و"Gravity" التي صُنعت كأغنية لحفلات الزفاف، وصولاً إلى "Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis" التي تحمل تحية لأساطير "الشوجيزينج" (Shoegazing)، يحتوي هذا الألبوم على موسيقى متنوعة الألوان مثل مجموعة هدايا شاملة. وعلى الرغم من مرور وقت طويل منذ الألبوم القصير وحتى الألبوم الكامل، إلا أن النشاط استمر بثبات من خلال إصدار أغاني منفردة مثل "حتى لو لم أؤمن بالأبدية" (2018)، و"Knight Verse" (2022)، و"Winter Resolution" (2022). ومنذ عام 2024، انضم "9" (الذي هو أنا...)، الذي كان يشارك سابقاً كصانع ومنتج فقط، كعضو جيتار، حيث قام بإعادة تنظيم الصوت الحي بشكل عام، وعزز أساس النشاط من خلال اكتساب الخبرة المسرحية عبر عروض منتظمة في نوادي منطقة هونغداي. الآن، انتهت الاستعدادات للانطلاق نحو العالم. / 9 (سونغ جاي كيونغ) [سويمرز Swiimers] جو ميتشي MQ CHO جانغ سون وونغ Jang Sun Woong سونغ جاي كيونغ Jay Song [المسارات Tracks] 01. الأيام الجميلة (Beautiful Days) كلمات وألحان Lyrics and Composed by جو ميتشي MQ CHO توزيع وعزف Arranged and Performed by سويمرز Swiimers 02.

Studioalbum [Swiimers High] Damals. An Wintertagen trafen wir uns einfach, plapperten, weinten, waren betrunken, trennten uns und fanden uns schnell wieder. Die Zeit war seltsamerweise so im Überfluss vorhanden, dass sich jeder Tag bereits wie die Ewigkeit anfühlte, selbst wenn man nicht an sie glaubte. Wir genossen lange Zeit die Dinge, die schnell verschwanden, wie den kondensierenden Atem oder den fließenden Alkohol. Weil wir so verzweifelt waren, war uns selbst der flüchtigste Augenblick nicht zu kurz. Das erste Studioalbum der Band Swiimers, [SWIIMERS HIGH], bringt jene vergessenen Wintertage wie in einem Traum zurück. Auch wenn seit der ersten Single „Polaris“ (2015) zehn Jahre vergangen sind, befinden sich Swiimers immer noch ganz natürlich, fast wie beim Gleiten im Wasser, auf dem „Moment“. 12 Songs, geschmiedet aus der eingefangenen Zeit, füllen das Album. Momente des Treibens, des Verfliegens, des Blinkens und des Überfließens wurden eingefangen und durch dichte Gitarren-Noise und flüsternde Stimmen entfaltet. Selbst wenn ein wie ein Kaleidoskop schwindelerregender, prächtiger und zuweilen prekärer Sound die Stücke füllt, ist keine Angst zu spüren. Vielleicht liegt das an der gereiften Kunstfertigkeit der Band. Zu den Gründungsmitgliedern, Leader Jo Min-kyung (Gitarre, Gesang) und Jang Seon-woong (Schlagzeug), ist Song Jae-kyung (Gitarre, Produzent) als neues Mitglied gestoßen. Die bereits veröffentlichten Singles, die zusammen mit „Auch wenn man nicht an die Ewigkeit glaubt“, „Knight Verse“ und „Winter Resolution“ eine „Versprechens-Trilogie“ bilden, dienen als Gerüst des Albums, und die Dinge, die gerade weil sie nicht ewig währen, ewig schön sind, füllen die Zwischenräume. Das gilt bereits für das erste Stück „Schöne Zeiten“. Die alten Tage, die über ein langes Treiben heraufbeschworen werden, sind, auch wenn sie keinerlei Trost spenden, unweigerlich schön. „Gravity (Anker)“ versucht das „Jetzt“, in dem „Schmetterlinge fliegen und ein Regen aus Blüten niedergeht“, aber nicht ewig währen kann, wie mit einem Anker festzubinden, während in „Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis“ die Wahl getroffen wird, einfach eine fließende Welle zu sein, anstatt an einem Moment festzumachen. Natürlich ermüdet oft der Wunsch, in einer Schönheit zu verweilen, die bald verfliegt. Der zweite Titel und Titelsong „MOMMY“ nimmt das Herz, das sich „von einem unfähigen und nutzlosen Körper“ lösen möchte, in den Arm und flüstert: „Es ist nicht deine Schuld“. Eine sanfte Melodie umschließt die schwere Verzweiflung. Es ist ein überwältigender Trost. Während man durch die zerbrechenden Zeiten segelt, ist „Neon Blue“ ein Song, der unerwartet die Aufmerksamkeit auf sich zieht. Es ist eine tiefe Stimme, die man bei Swiimers selten gehört hat. Sie leuchtet wie Neon und ist warm wie eine Glühbirne. Das letzte Stück und zugleich Namensgeber des Albums, „SWIIMERS HIGH“, ist wahrhaftig ein Fest des Augenblicks. Es lässt einen von einer Höhe ohne Höhe, einer Tiefe unbekannter Tiefe und vielleicht von einem endlosen Gleiten in der Ewigkeit träumen. Wenn man alle 12 Songs durchlaufen hat, werden Körper und Geist irgendwie sensibler. Ob das etwas Gutes ist? Ich weiß es nicht genau, aber es wird helfen, das Leben aufregender zu gestalten als bisher. Wie ein Bier nach dem Schwimmen: erfrischend und schwindelerregend. / Reporterin Kim Ji-hye, Kyunghyang Shinmun [Swiimers High] Producer's Note Noise Rock mit dem Herzen des K-Pop, bereit für den weltweiten Ausbruch In den letzten 30 Jahren, in denen ich als Fan, Musiker, Produzent, Ingenieur, Produzent und Texter die Ränder der koreanischen Populärmusik durchwandert und viele Freuden und Leiden sowie Aufstiege und Niedergänge miterlebt und erfahren habe, war das gemeinsame Merkmal von Musikern, die lange bleiben, die „Unersetzbarkeit“. Bei der Arbeit an diesem Album habe ich viel darüber nachgedacht, warum es Swiimers geben muss und warum es niemand anderes als Swiimers sein darf. Die Songtexte von Swiimers sind sehr schön und von hoher Vollkommenheit. Man könnte sagen, sie stehen fast der reinen Literatur oder der Poesie nahe; sie sind ebenso implizit und komplex, sodass man sie aufmerksam betrachten muss, um die verborgenen Bedeutungen zu finden. Ich hoffe, dass der Geist, der in „MOMMY“ wohnt, der unauslöschliche Schmerz von „Knight Verse“, das Leben und die Gedanken der Jugend dieser Zeit, die „Neon Blue“ zeichnet, und der Trost, der in „Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis“ liegt, in ihrer Gesamtheit übermittelt werden. Das Musikspektrum von Swiimers ist breit, doch ihr Sound ist prägnant und konsistent. Die Grundlage des Swiimers-Sounds bilden die komplexen musikalischen Vorlieben von MQ CHO, der gerne Post-/Indie-Rock-Bands wie Bon Iver, Sigur Rós, Joy Division und Slowdive hört, aber insgeheim auch ein Fan von aespa und Crush ist, sowie die Vorlieben von Jang Sun Woong, der geradlinigen Rock wie Acidman und Arctic Monkeys bevorzugt. Wenn sich traumhafte Klänge, erzeugt durch Gitarreneffekte und Synthesizer, wie eine weiche Decke über einen erfrischenden Rhythmus legen und darin die popige Melodie mit eingängigen Hooks sowie die luftige Stimme von MQ CHO geborgen ruhen, entsteht ein Sound, den man nur als „typisch Swiimers“ beschreiben kann. Als Produzent würde ich es etwa als „Noise Rock mit dem Herzen des K-Pop“ definieren. Swiimers verfügen über ein solides Fundament und eine große Erweiterbarkeit. Die 2016 veröffentlichte Debüt-EP erregte nicht nur im Inland, sondern auch im Ausland beachtliche Aufmerksamkeit. Durch den Auftritt beim Liverpool Sound Festival 2017 sowie Clubtourneen in Großbritannien und Berlin konnten Swiimers ihr Potenzial auf dem internationalen Markt bestätigen. Die im September dieses Jahres vorab veröffentlichte Single „Erika“ erhielt positive Kritiken von Musik-Webmagazinen aus Polen, Kanada und anderen Ländern, und auch die für November geplanten Tourneen in Thailand und Japan werden vor Ort mit großer Erwartung erwartet. Die Vielseitigkeit von Swiimers lässt sich auch genretechnisch erklären. Beginnend mit dem ersten Song „Beautiful Days“ im Sinne eines schläfrigen Bedroom-Pop-Gefühls, über den spritzigen Gitarren-Pop „MOMMY“, „Neon Blue“, das an die frühe koreanische Indie-Szene erinnert, „Ice & Fire“, das Fans des traditionellen Post-Rock freuen wird, „Gravity“, das als Hochzeitslied geschrieben wurde, bis hin zu „Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis“, das eine Hommage an Shoegazing-Legenden darstellt – dieses Album enthält eine bunte Mischung an Musik, wie ein umfassendes Geschenkset. Obwohl seit der EP bis zum regulären Album viel Zeit vergangen ist, setzten sich die Aktivitäten durch die Veröffentlichung von Singles wie „Even if I don't believe in eternity“ (2018), „Knight Verse“ (2022) und „Winter Resolution“ (2022) stetig fort. Ab 2024 stieß 9 (= ich bin's...), der bisher nur als Macher und Produzent beteiligt war, als Gitarrist hinzu, überarbeitete den gesamten Live-Sound und festigte die Basis für ihre Aktivitäten, indem er durch regelmäßige Auftritte in Hongdae-Clubs sein Bühnengefühl schärfte. Nun sind sie bereit, die Welt zu erobern. / 9 (Song Jae Kyung) [Swiimers] MQ CHO Jang Sun Woong Jay Song [Tracks] 01. 아름다운 시절 (Beautiful Days) Text/Komposition Lyrics and Composed by MQ CHO Arrangement/Performance Arranged and Performed by Swiimers 02.

Produktion Executive Producer 스위머스 Swiimers1b:T2128,Swiimers 1st Full-Length Album [Swiimers High] Those days. On winter days, we simply met, parted, and met again soon, chatting, crying, and getting drunk. Time was strangely overflowing, so even without believing in eternity, every day already felt like eternity. We savored for a long time the things that vanished quickly, like the spreading breath in the air or the flowing liquor. We were so desperate that even a fleeting moment didn't feel like a loss. The band Swiimers' first full-length album [SWIIMERS HIGH] returns those forgotten winter days like a dream. Even though ten years have passed since their first single 'Polaris' (2015), Swiimers still naturally exist upon the 'moment,' as if swimming. Twelve songs, forged by seizing flowing time, fill the album. They captured moments that drift, evaporate, flicker, and pour out, unfolding them through thick guitar noise and whispering voices. Even when dizzying and brilliant sounds—like a kaleidoscope, and sometimes precarious—fill the songs, no anxiety is felt. Perhaps it is thanks to the band's matured skill. In addition to original members leader Jo Min-kyung (guitar/vocals) and Jang Seon-woong (drums), Song Jae-kyung (guitar/producer) joined as a new member. Previously released singles that form the 'Promise Trilogy'—'Even if I don't believe in eternity,' 'Knight Verse,' and 'Winter Resolution'—serve as the skeleton of the album, and things that are beautiful like eternity precisely because they cannot last fill the gaps between. This starts from the first track, 'Beautiful Days.' The old days summoned over a long drift are inevitably beautiful, even if they provide no consolation whatsoever. 'Gravity (Anchor)' attempts to tie down the 'now'—where "butterflies fly and flower rain pours"—like an anchor, though it cannot last forever, while in 'Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis,' they choose to become the flowing wave instead of anchoring in the moment. Naturally, the heart that wishes to dwell in a beauty that soon evaporates often grows weary. The second track and title song, 'MOMMY,' embraces the heart that wants to fall away "from an incompetent and useless body," telling it, "It's not your fault." A gentle melody hugs a grueling despair. It is an overwhelming consolation. While sailing through shattering time, the song that unexpectedly catches the ear is 'Neon Blue.' It features a low voice rarely heard from Swiimers. It shines like neon and is warm like an incandescent bulb. The final track and the album's namesake, 'SWIIMERS HIGH,' is truly a festival of the moment. It makes one dream of a height without height, a depth of unknown depth, and perhaps an endless swim within eternity. After passing through all twelve songs, the body and mind somehow become sensitive. Is this a good thing? I may not know for sure, but it will help life become more thrilling than it is now. Like a beer drunk after swimming, it is refreshing and dizzying. / Reporter Kim Ji-hye, Kyunghyang Shinmun [Swiimers High] Producer's Note Noise rock with the heart of K-Pop, ready to expand to the world. Having wandered the fringes of the Korean popular music scene for the past 30 years as a fan, musician, producer, engineer, creator, and lyricist, and having witnessed and experienced many joys, sorrows, rises, and falls, I believe the common characteristic of musicians who leave a lasting legacy is 'irreplaceability.' While making this album, I thought a lot about the reason why Swiimers must exist, and why it has to be Swiimers. Swiimers' lyrics are very beautiful and highly polished. One could say they are close to pure literature or poetry; they are that implicit and difficult, requiring careful observation to find the hidden meanings. I hope that the spirit dwelling in 'MOMMY,' the indelible pain of 'Knight Verse,' the life and thoughts of youth in this era depicted in 'Neon Blue,' and the consolation contained in 'Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis' can be fully conveyed. Swiimers' musical spectrum is wide, yet their sound is concise and consistent. The foundation of Swiimers' sound is formed by the complex musical tastes of MQ CHO—who enjoys post/indie rock acts like Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division, and Slowdive, but is also a fan of aespa and Crush—and the tastes of Jang Sun Woong, who enjoys straightforward rock like Acidman and Arctic Monkeys. Dreamy sounds created by guitar effectors and synthesizers pile up like a fluffy blanket over a refreshing rhythm, and when pop melodies with strong hooks and MQ CHO's airy voice are cozily buried within, a sound is completed that can only be described as "sounding like Swiimers." As a producer, I would like to define it as "noise rock with the heart of K-Pop." Swiimers possesses a solid foundation and broad scalability. Their debut EP, released in 2016, received modest attention not only domestically but also overseas, and through their appearance at the 2017 Liverpool Sound Festival and club tours in the UK and Berlin, Swiimers confirmed their potential in the international market. The single "Erika," pre-released this September, received positive reviews from music webzines in Poland, Canada, and other regions, and the Thailand and Japan tours scheduled for November are also highly anticipated locally. Swiimers' scalability can also be explained through their genres. Starting with the first track "Beautiful Days," which carries a languid bedroom pop sensibility, the album contains a colorful variety of music like a comprehensive gift set: the bouncy guitar pop "MOMMY," "Neon Blue," which evokes the early domestic indie scene, "Ice & Fire," which traditional post-rock fans would welcome, "Gravity," created as a wedding song, and "Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis," which contains an homage to shoegazing legends. Although much time has passed since the EP until the full-length album, activities have continued steadily with the release of singles such as "Even If I Don't Believe in Eternity" (2018), "Knight Verse" (2022), and "Winter Resolution" (2022). From 2024, 9 (=that's me...), who had previously participated only as a creator and producer, joined as a guitarist to reorganize the overall live sound and solidify the foundation for their activities by honing their stage presence through regular performances at Hongdae clubs. Now, they are ready to expand into the world. / 9 (Jay Song) [Swiimers] MQ CHO Jang Sun Woong Jay Song [Tracks] 01. Beautiful Days Lyrics and Composed by MQ CHO Arranged and Performed by Swiimers 02.

Executive Producer Swiimers1c:T259a,Primer álbum de Swiimers [Swiimers High] En aquellos días, durante los días de invierno, simplemente nos reuníamos para charlar, llorar y emborracharnos; nos separábamos y volvíamos a encontrarnos rápidamente. El tiempo sobraba de una manera extraña, así que, aunque no creyéramos en la eternidad, cada día ya se sentía como uno. Saboreábamos durante mucho tiempo aquellas cosas que desaparecen pronto, como el aliento que se dispersa o el alcohol que fluye. Éramos tan desesperados que, aunque fuera un instante, no sentíamos nostalgia. El primer álbum de estudio de la banda Swiimers, [SWIIMERS HIGH], nos devuelve esos días de invierno olvidados como si fueran un sueño. Aunque hayan pasado 10 años desde su primer sencillo ‘Polaris’ (2015), Swiimers sigue estando naturalmente sobre el ‘instante’, como si estuvieran nadando. 12 canciones, forjadas al atrapar el tiempo que fluye, llenan el álbum. Capturaron momentos que derivan, se evaporan, parpadean y se derraman, desplegándolos a través de un denso ruido de guitarras y voces que susurran. Aunque un sonido caótico y espléndido como un caleidoscopio, y a veces precario, llene las canciones, no se siente ansiedad. Quizás sea gracias a la madura destreza de la banda. Además de los miembros originales, el líder Jo Min-kyung (guitarra·voz) y Jang Seon-woong (batería), Song Jae-kyung (guitarra·productor) se ha unido como nuevo miembro. Los sencillos publicados previamente que forman la ‘trilogía de la promesa’ —‘Aunque no crea en la eternidad’, ‘Knight Verse’ y ‘Winter Resolution’— sirven de estructura para el álbum, y las cosas que son hermosas como la eternidad precisamente porque no son eternas llenan los espacios intermedios. Así ocurre desde la primera canción, ‘Días Hermosos’. Aunque los viejos tiempos invocados sobre una larga deriva no brinden consuelo alguno, son inevitablemente hermosos. ‘Gravity (Ancla)’ intenta amarrar como un ancla el ‘ahora’ donde “las mariposas vuelan y llueven flores”, pero que no puede ser eterno; mientras que en ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’, en lugar de anclarse al momento, eligen convertirse simplemente en la ola que fluye. Naturalmente, el deseo de permanecer en una belleza que pronto se evapora suele agotarse. La segunda pista y canción principal, ‘MOMMY’, abraza al corazón que desea desprenderse “de un cuerpo incompetente e inútil”, diciéndole: “no es tu culpa”. Una melodía dulce abraza la dura desesperación. Es un consuelo conmovedor. Mientras se navega entre el tiempo que se rompe, la canción que inesperadamente atrapa el oído es ‘Neon Blue’. Es una voz grave, difícil de escuchar en Swiimers. Brilla como el neón y es cálida como una bombilla incandescente. La última canción y nombre del álbum, ‘SWIIMERS HIGH’, es literalmente un festival del instante. Nos hace soñar con una altura sin altura, una profundidad desconocida y, tal vez, una natación infinita dentro de la eternidad. Después de pasar por las 12 canciones, el cuerpo y la mente se vuelven, por alguna razón, más sensibles. No sé si sea algo bueno, pero ayudará a que la vida sea más emocionante que ahora. Como una cerveza bebida después de nadar, es refrescante y mareante. / Reportera Kim Ji-hye, Periódico Kyunghyang [Swiimers High] Nota del Productor Noise Rock con el corazón del K-Pop, listo para expandirse al mundo Habiendo vagado por los márgenes de la música popular coreana durante los últimos 30 años como fan, músico, productor, ingeniero, creador y letrista, y habiendo presenciado y experimentado muchas alegrías, tristezas, ascensos y caídas, he notado que la característica común de los músicos que perduran es la ‘insustituibilidad’. Al crear este álbum, pensé mucho en la razón por la cual Swiimers debe existir, la razón por la cual no puede ser nadie más que Swiimers. Las letras de Swiimers son muy hermosas y tienen un alto nivel de acabado. Se podría decir que están más cerca de la literatura pura o la poesía, por lo que son tan implícitas y difíciles que hay que observarlas detenidamente para encontrar los significados ocultos. Espero que el espíritu imbuido en ‘MOMMY’, el dolor imborrable de ‘Knight Verse’, la vida y las reflexiones de la juventud de esta era que dibuja ‘Neon Blue’ y el consuelo contenido en ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’ puedan transmitirse plenamente. El espectro musical de Swiimers es amplio, pero su sonido es conciso y coherente. La base del sonido de Swiimers se forma a partir de los complejos gustos musicales de MQ CHO, quien disfruta del post/indie rock como Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division y Slowdive, pero que también es fan de aespa y Crush, y los gustos de Jang Sun Woong, quien prefiere un rock más directo como el de Acidman y Arctic Monkeys. Sobre ritmos refrescantes, se apilan sonidos oníricos creados por efectos de guitarra y sintetizadores como si fueran una manta mullida; cuando melodías pop con ganchos vivos y la voz aireada de MQ CHO se sumergen cómodamente en ello, se completa un sonido que solo puede describirse como "estilo Swiimers". Como productor, me gustaría definirlo como "noise rock con el corazón del K-Pop". Swiimers posee una base sólida y una amplia capacidad de expansión. Su EP debut, lanzado en 2016, recibió una atención modesta no solo en Corea sino también en el extranjero, y a través de su participación en el Liverpool Sound Festival en 2017 y giras por clubes en el Reino Unido y Berlín, Swiimers confirmó su potencial en el mercado internacional. El sencillo "Erika", lanzado anticipadamente en septiembre de este año, recibió elogios de revistas musicales de Polonia y Canadá, y las giras por Tailandia y Japón programadas para noviembre también generan mucha expectativa localmente. La versatilidad de Swiimers también puede explicarse a través de sus géneros. Desde la primera canción, "Beautiful Days", con una sensibilidad de bedroom pop lánguida, pasando por el vibrante guitar pop de "MOMMY", "Neon Blue", que evoca la escena indie coreana temprana, "Ice & Fire", que agradaría a los fans del post-rock tradicional, "Gravity", creada como canción para bodas, hasta "Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis", que contiene un homenaje a las leyendas del shoegazing; este álbum contiene música de diversos colores como un set de regalo variado. Aunque pasó mucho tiempo desde el EP hasta el álbum completo, la actividad ha sido constante con el lanzamiento de sencillos como "Even if I don't believe in eternity" (2018), "Knight Verse" (2022) y "Winter Resolution" (2022). A partir de 2024, 9 (= soy yo...), quien hasta entonces solo había participado como creador y productor, se unió como guitarrista para reorganizar el sonido general en vivo y consolidar la base de actividades, adquiriendo sentido escénico a través de presentaciones regulares en clubes de Hongdae. Ahora, la preparación para expandirse al mundo ha terminado. / 9 (Song Jae Kyung) [Swiimers] MQ CHO Jang Sun Woong Jay Song [Tracks] 01.

Productor Ejecutivo 스위머스 Swiimers1d:T276e,Premier album de Swiimers [Swiimers High] À l'époque, les jours d'hiver, nous nous rencontrions simplement pour bavarder, pleurer et nous enivrer, nous nous séparions, puis nous nous retrouvions aussitôt. Le temps semblait étrangement abondant, et même sans croire en l'éternité, chaque jour ressemblait déjà à l'éternité. Nous savourions longuement les choses qui disparaissent rapidement, comme le souffle qui s'évapore ou l'alcool qui coule. Nous étions si désespérés que même l'instant le plus fugace ne nous semblait pas trop court. Le premier album studio du groupe Swiimers, [SWIIMERS HIGH], nous ramène ces jours d'hiver oubliés comme dans un rêve. Même après dix ans depuis leur premier single « Polaris » (2015), Swiimers se trouve toujours naturellement sur l'« instant », comme s'ils nageaient. Douze titres, forgés en capturant le temps qui s'écoule, remplissent l'album. Ils ont saisi des moments à la dérive, volatils, clignotants et torrentiels pour les déployer à travers d'épais bruits de guitare et des voix murmurées. Même lorsque des sons vertigineux et somptueux comme un kaléidoscope, et parfois précaires, remplissent les morceaux, on n'y ressent aucune anxiété. Est-ce grâce à la maîtrise mûre du groupe ? Aux membres fondateurs, le leader Cho Min-kyung (guitare, chant) et Jang Seon-woong (batterie), s'est joint Song Jae-kyung (guitare, producteur) en tant que nouveau membre. Les singles précédemment publiés, formant la « trilogie des promesses » avec « Même sans croire en l'éternité », « Knight Verse » et « Winter Resolution », constituent l'ossature de l'album, tandis que les choses, belles précisément parce qu'elles ne sont pas éternelles, comblent les interstices. C'est ainsi dès le premier titre, « Beaux jours ». Les temps passés, invoqués après une longue dérive, sont inévitablement beaux, même s'ils n'apportent aucun réconfort. « Gravity (Ancre) » tente de fixer comme une ancre le « maintenant », où « les papillons volent et la pluie de fleurs tombe », mais qui ne peut être éternel, tandis que dans « Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis », ils choisissent de devenir simplement une vague qui coule plutôt que de s'amarrer à l'instant. Naturellement, le désir de demeurer dans une beauté qui s'évapore bientôt s'épuise souvent. Le deuxième titre et chanson phare, « MOMMY », enlace et dit « ce n'est pas ta faute » à l'esprit qui souhaite s'extraire d'un « corps impuissant et inutile ». Une mélodie tendre embrasse un désespoir éprouvant. C'est un réconfort poignant. En naviguant entre les fragments de temps qui se brisent, le morceau qui attire inopinément l'oreille est « Neon Blue ». C'est une voix grave, rarement entendue chez Swiimers. Elle brille comme un néon et est chaleureuse comme une ampoule à incandescence. Le dernier titre, qui donne également son nom à l'album, « SWIIMERS HIGH », est véritablement un festival de l'instant. Il fait rêver d'une hauteur sans hauteur, d'une profondeur inconnue, et peut-être d'une nage infinie au sein de l'éternité. Après avoir traversé les douze titres, le corps et l'esprit deviennent curieusement sensibles. Est-ce une bonne chose ? Je l'ignore, mais cela aidera sans doute la vie à devenir plus exaltante qu'actuellement. Comme une bière bue après la natation, c'est rafraîchissant et vertigineux. / Kim Ji-hye, journaliste au Kyunghyang Shinmun [Swiimers High] Note du Producteur Un Noise Rock avec le cœur de la K-Pop, prêt à s'étendre vers le monde Ayant erré aux marges de la musique populaire coréenne pendant plus de 30 ans en tant que fan, musicien, producteur, ingénieur, fabricant et parolier, et ayant été témoin et vécu de nombreuses joies, colères, tristesses, plaisirs ainsi que des ascensions et des chutes, j'ai constaté que la caractéristique commune des musiciens qui durent est leur « irremplaçabilité ». En créant cet album, j'ai beaucoup réfléchi à la raison pour laquelle Swiimers doit exister, et pourquoi cela ne pourrait être que Swiimers. Les paroles de Swiimers sont très belles et d'une grande qualité. On pourrait dire qu'elles sont proches de la littérature pure ou de la poésie, et sont donc si suggestives et complexes qu'il faut les examiner attentivement pour en découvrir les sens cachés. J'espère que l'esprit insufflé dans « MOMMY », la douleur indélébile de « Knight Verse », la vie et les pensées de la jeunesse de notre époque dépeintes dans « Neon Blue », et le réconfort contenu dans « Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis » seront pleinement transmis. Le spectre musical de Swiimers est large, mais leur son est concis et cohérent. Le socle du son de Swiimers est formé par les goûts musicaux complexes de MQ CHO, qui apprécie le post/indie rock comme Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division et Slowdive, tout en étant fan d'aespa et de Crush, ainsi que les goûts de Jang Sun Woong, qui préfère un rock plus direct comme Acidman ou Arctic Monkeys. Sur un rythme rafraîchissant, des sons oniriques créés par des effets de guitare et des synthétiseurs s'accumulent comme une couette douillette ; lorsque des mélodies pop aux hooks efficaces et la voix aérienne de MQ CHO s'y blottissent, un son se crée que l'on ne peut décrire que comme étant « typique de Swiimers ». En tant que producteur, je voudrais le définir comme du « noise rock avec un cœur K-Pop ». Swiimers possède des bases solides et une grande extensibilité. Leur premier EP, sorti en 2016, a suscité un certain intérêt non seulement en Corée mais aussi à l'étranger, et Swiimers a confirmé son potentiel sur le marché international grâce à sa participation au Liverpool Sound Festival en 2017 et à des tournées de clubs au Royaume-Uni et à Berlin. Le single « Erika », sorti en avant-première en septembre dernier, a été salué par des webzines musicaux en Pologne et au Canada, et les tournées prévues en Thaïlande et au Japon en novembre sont également très attendues localement. L'extensibilité de Swiimers peut également s'expliquer par les genres. De la première chanson « Beautiful Days », imprégnée d'une sensibilité bedroom pop langoureuse, à « MOMMY », une guitare pop pétillante, en passant par « Neon Blue », qui rappelle les débuts de la scène indie coréenne, « Ice & Fire », qui plaira aux fans de post-rock traditionnel, « Gravity », créée comme chant de mariage, et enfin « Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis », un hommage aux légendes du shoegazing, cet album contient des musiques multicolores comme un coffret cadeau varié. Bien que beaucoup de temps se soit écoulé entre l'EP et l'album complet, l'activité s'est poursuivie avec la sortie des singles « Even if I don't believe in eternity » (2018), « Knight Verse » (2022) et « Winter Resolution » (2022). À partir de 2024, 9 (= c'est moi...), qui n'était intervenu jusqu'alors qu'en tant que créateur et producteur, a rejoint le groupe en tant que guitariste pour remettre à niveau l'ensemble du son live et consolider la base de leurs activités, notamment en affinant leur sens de la scène via des concerts réguliers dans les clubs de Hongdae. Ils sont désormais prêts à s'élancer vers le monde. / 9 (Song Jae Kyung) [Swiimers] MQ CHO Jang Sun Woong Jay Song [Tracks] 01. 아름다운 시절 (Beautiful Days) Paroles et Composition : MQ CHO Arrangement et Interprétation : Swiimers 02.

Producteur Exécutif 스위머스 Swiimers1e:T4c6b,Swiimers का पहला पूर्ण एल्बम [Swiimers High] वह दौर सर्दियों के दिनों में, हम बस बातें करते, रोते और नशे में मिलते-बिछड़ते थे और फिर जल्द ही दोबारा मिल जाते थे। समय अजीब तरह से इतना अधिक था कि भले ही हम अनंतता में विश्वास नहीं करते थे, फिर भी हर दिन अनंत जैसा लगता था। हम उन चीजों का लंबे समय तक आनंद लेते थे जो सांसों की भाप या बहती शराब की तरह जल्द ही गायब हो जाती थीं। हम इतने बेताब थे कि क्षणभंगुर होने पर भी कोई मलाल नहीं था। बैंड Swiimers का पहला पूर्ण एल्बम [SWIIMERS HIGH] उन भूले हुए सर्दियों के दिनों को किसी सपने की तरह वापस ले आता है। पहले सिंगल 'Polaris' (2015) के 10 साल बाद भी, Swiimers अभी भी स्वाभाविक रूप से 'क्षणों' के ऊपर तैर रहे हैं। बहते समय को पकड़कर तराशे गए 12 गीतों ने इस एल्बम को भरा है। उन्होंने भटकते, उड़ते, टिमटिमाते और बरसते क्षणों को पकड़कर उन्हें भारी गिटार नॉइज़ और फुसफुसाती आवाज़ों के माध्यम से 펼ाया है। भले ही कैलीडोस्कोप की तरह भ्रमित करने वाली और शानदार, और कभी-कभी अस्थिर ध्वनियाँ गीतों को भर देती हैं, लेकिन कोई बेचैनी महसूस नहीं होती। शायद यह बैंड के परिपक्व कौशल के कारण है। मूल सदस्यों, लीडर जो मिन-क्योंग (गिटार·वोकल) और जांग सन-वूंग (ड्रम) के साथ सोंग जे-क्योंग (गिटार·प्रोड्यूसर) नए सदस्य के रूप में शामिल हुए हैं। 'भले ही अनंत में विश्वास न हो' और 'Knight Verse', 'Winter Resolution' तक, पहले जारी किए गए सिंगल जिन्होंने 'प्रॉमिस ट्रिलॉजी' बनाई, इस एल्बम का ढांचा बनते हैं, और वे चीजें जो अनंत न होने के कारण अनंत की तरह सुंदर हैं, उनके बीच के खाली स्थान को भरती हैं। पहले गीत 'सुंदर दौर' से ही ऐसा है। लंबे भटकाव के बाद याद किया गया वह पुराना दौर, भले ही बिल्कुल भी दिलासा न दे, फिर भी वह अनिवार्य रूप से सुंदर है। 'Gravity (लंगर)' उस 'अभी' को लंगर की तरह बांधने की कोशिश करता है जहाँ "तितलियाँ उड़ती हैं और फूलों की बारिश होती है", लेकिन जो अनंत नहीं रह सकता, और 'Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis' में क्षणों पर रुकने के बजाय बस बहती लहरें बनने का विकल्प चुना गया है। स्वाभाविक रूप से, जल्द ही उड़ जाने वाली सुंदरता में ठहरने की इच्छा अक्सर थक जाती है। दूसरा ट्रैक और शीर्षक गीत 'MOMMY', "अक्षम और बेकार शरीर से" दूर जाना चाहने वाले मन को गले लगाते हुए कहता है, "यह तुम्हारी गलती नहीं है।" एक कोमल धुन कठिन निराशा को गले लगाती है। यह एक हृदयस्पर्शी सांत्वना है। टूटते समय के बीच यात्रा करते हुए, अचानक ध्यान खींचने वाला गीत 'Neon Blue' है। यह एक धीमी आवाज़ है जो Swiimers से सुनना मुश्किल था। यह नियॉन की तरह चमकता है और गरमागरम बल्ब की तरह गर्म है। अंतिम गीत और एल्बम का नाम 'SWIIMERS HIGH' वास्तव में क्षणों का उत्सव है। यह बिना किसी ऊंचाई की ऊंचाई, बिना किसी गहराई की गहराई, और शायद अनंत के भीतर अंतहीन तैराकी का सपना देखने के लिए प्रेरित करता है। 12 गीतों से गुजरने के बाद, किसी तरह शरीर और मन संवेदनशील हो जाते हैं। क्या यह अच्छी बात है? मुझे ठीक से नहीं पता, लेकिन यह जीवन को अभी से अधिक रोमांचक बनाने में मदद करेगा। तैराकी के बाद पी गई बीयर की तरह, यह ताज़ा और चक्कर लाने वाला है। / क्यूयांग शिनमुन, रिपोर्टर किम जी-ह्ये [Swiimers High] प्रोड्यूसर नोट K-Pop के दिल वाला नॉइज़ रॉक, दुनिया में फैलने के लिए पूरी तरह तैयार एक प्रशंसक, संगीतकार, निर्माता, इंजीनियर, निर्माता और गीतकार के रूप में पिछले 30 वर्षों तक कोरियाई लोकप्रिय संगीत जगत के हाशिए पर भ्रमण करते हुए, मैंने कई सुख-दुख और उत्थान-पतन देखे और अनुभव किए हैं। लंबे समय तक टिकने वाले संगीतकारों की एक सामान्य विशेषता है 'अपूरणीयता' (Irreplaceability)। इस एल्बम को बनाते समय, मैंने Swiimers के होने के कारण और Swiimers के अलावा किसी और के न होने के कारण के बारे में बहुत सोचा। Swiimers के गीत बहुत सुंदर और पूर्ण हैं। शायद इन्हें शुद्ध साहित्य या कविता के करीब कहा जा सकता है, और इसी कारण ये इतने संक्षिप्त और कठिन हैं कि छिपे हुए अर्थों को खोजने के लिए इन्हें ध्यान से देखना पड़ता है। मेरी आशा है कि 'MOMMY' में बसी भावना, 'Knight Verse' का न मिटने वाला दर्द, 'Neon Blue' द्वारा चित्रित इस युग के युवाओं का जीवन और विचार, और 'Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis' में समाहित सांत्वना पूरी तरह से आप तक पहुँच सके। स्विमर्स (Swiimers) का संगीत स्पेक्ट्रम व्यापक है, लेकिन उनकी ध्वनि संक्षिप्त और सुसंगत है। जो मिची की जटिल संगीत पसंद, जो बॉन इवर (Bon Iver), सिगुर रोस (Sigur Ros), जॉय डिवीजन (Joy Division), स्लोडाइव (Slowdive) जैसे पोस्ट/इंडी रॉक को सुनते हैं लेकिन साथ ही एस्पा (aespa) और क्रश (Crush) के प्रशंसक भी हैं, और जांग सन वूंग की पसंद, जो एसिडमैन (Acidman) और आर्कटिक मंकीज़ (Arctic Monkeys) जैसे सीधे रॉक संगीत का आनंद लेते हैं, स्विमर्स की ध्वनि की नींव बनाते हैं। एक ताज़ा लय के ऊपर गिटार इफ़ेक्टर्स और सिंथेसाइज़र द्वारा निर्मित स्वप्निल ध्वनियाँ एक नरम कंबल की तरह जमा होती हैं, और जब हुक से भरपूर पॉप मेलोडी और हवा जैसी हल्की जो मिची की आवाज़ उसमें समा जाती है, तो एक ऐसी ध्वनि पूरी होती है जिसे केवल 'स्विमर्स जैसा' कहकर ही समझाया जा सकता है। एक निर्माता के रूप में, मैं इसे 'K-Pop के दिल वाला नॉइज़ रॉक' के रूप में परिभाषित करना चाहूँगा। स्विमर्स के पास एक मजबूत आधार और व्यापक विस्तार क्षमता है। 2016 में रिलीज़ हुई उनकी डेब्यू ईपी (EP) ने न केवल घरेलू स्तर पर बल्कि विदेशों में भी ध्यान आकर्षित किया था, और 2017 में लिवरपूल साउंड फेस्टिवल में प्रदर्शन और ब्रिटेन तथा बर्लिन के क्लब टूर के माध्यम से स्विमर्स ने विदेशी बाजार में अपनी संभावनाओं की पुष्टि की। इस साल सितंबर में प्री-रिलीज़ किए गए सिंगल 'Erika' को पोलैंड और कनाडा जैसे देशों के संगीत वेबज़ीन से सकारात्मक प्रतिक्रिया मिली, और नवंबर में निर्धारित थाईलैंड और जापान टूर का भी स्थानीय स्तर पर बहुत इंतज़ार है। स्विमर्स की विस्तार क्षमता को उनके संगीत की शैलियों के माध्यम से भी समझाया जा सकता है। सुस्त बेडरूम पॉप संवेदना वाले पहले गीत 'Beautiful Days' से शुरू होकर, उछलते-कूदते गिटार पॉप 'MOMMY', शुरुआती घरेलू इंडी सीन की याद दिलाने वाले 'Neon Blue', पारंपरिक पोस्ट-रॉक प्रशंसकों को पसंद आने वाले 'Ice & Fire', शादी के गीत के रूप में बनाए गए 'Gravity', और शूगेज़िंग दिग्गजों को श्रद्धांजलि देने वाले 'Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis' तक, इस एल्बम में विभिन्न रंगों का संगीत एक 종합 उपहार सेट की तरह समाया हुआ है। ईपी के बाद पूर्ण एल्बम तक काफी समय बीत गया, लेकिन 'Even if I don't believe in eternity' (2018), 'Knight Verse' (2022), और 'Winter Resolution' (2022) जैसे सिंगल्स के साथ उनकी गतिविधियाँ निरंतर जारी रहीं। 2024 से, 9 (=मैं हूँ...) जो अब तक केवल निर्माता और प्रोड्यूसर के रूप में शामिल थे, गिटार सदस्य के रूप में शामिल हुए हैं, जिन्होंने लाइव साउंड को व्यवस्थित किया और होंगडे क्लब के नियमित प्रदर्शनों के माध्यम से मंच के अनुभव को निखारा और अपनी गतिविधियों का आधार मजबूत किया। अब वे दुनिया भर में फैलने के लिए पूरी तरह तैयार हैं। / 9 (सोंग जे-क्यंग) [स्विमर्स Swiimers] जो मिची MQ CHO जांग सन वूंग Jang Sun Woong सोंग जे-क्यंग Jay Song [ट्रैक्स] 01.

Jika hari musim dingin, kita hanya bertemu, mengobrol, menangis, mabuk, berpisah, lalu segera bertemu kembali. Waktu terasa begitu melimpah secara aneh, sehingga meski tidak percaya pada keabadian, setiap hari sudah terasa seperti keabadian. Kita menikmati dalam waktu lama hal-hal yang cepat menghilang, seperti napas yang mengembun atau alkohol yang mengalir. Karena begitu putus asa, meski hanya sekejap pun tidak terasa menyesakkan. Album studio pertama band Swiimers, [SWIIMERS HIGH], mengembalikan hari-hari musim dingin yang terlupakan itu seperti dalam mimpi. Meski 10 tahun telah berlalu sejak singel pertama 'Polaris' (2015), Swiimers masih berada di atas 'momen' secara alami, seolah sedang berenang. 12 lagu yang ditempa dengan menangkap waktu yang mengalir mengisi album ini. Momen-momen yang terombang-ambing, menguap, berkedip, dan tumpah ditangkap dan dibentangkan melalui noise gitar yang tebal dan suara bisikan. Meskipun suara yang membingungkan dan mewah seperti kaleidoskop, terkadang terasa berbahaya, namun tidak terasa ada kecemasan. Mungkin itu berkat kemahiran band yang telah matang. Selain anggota asli, pemimpin Jo Min-kyung (gitar·vokal) dan Jang Seon-woong (drum), Song Jae-kyung (gitar·produser) bergabung sebagai anggota baru. Singel-singel yang telah dirilis sebelumnya, yang membentuk 'Trilogi Janji' mulai dari 'Meski Tidak Percaya pada Keabadian', 'Knight Verse', hingga 'Winter Resolution', menjadi kerangka album ini, dan hal-hal yang indah seperti keabadian justru karena tidak abadi mengisi celah di antaranya. Hal itu dimulai dari lagu pertama, 'Masa yang Indah'. Masa lalu yang dipanggil kembali di atas pengembaraan yang panjang, meski sama sekali tidak memberikan penghiburan, tetap terasa indah apa adanya. 'Gravity (Jangkar)' mencoba mengikat 'saat ini' seperti jangkar, di mana "kupu-kupu terbang dan hujan bunga tumpah", namun tidak bisa abadi, sementara dalam 'Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis', mereka memilih untuk menjadi ombak yang mengalir daripada berlabuh pada satu momen. Tentu saja, keinginan untuk tinggal dalam keindahan yang segera menguap sering kali membuat lelah. Lagu kedua sekaligus lagu utama 'MOMMY' memeluk hati yang ingin terlepas "dari tubuh yang tidak kompeten dan tidak berguna" sambil berkata "ini bukan salahmu". Melodi yang lembut memeluk keputusasaan yang berat. Sebuah penghiburan yang menyesakkan dada. Di tengah pelayaran di antara waktu yang hancur, lagu yang tak terduga menarik perhatian adalah 'Neon Blue'. Ini adalah suara rendah yang jarang terdengar dari Swiimers. Bersinar seperti neon dan hangat seperti lampu pijar. Lagu terakhir yang juga menjadi nama album, 'SWIIMERS HIGH', benar-benar merupakan perayaan momen. Ketinggian tanpa ketinggian, kedalaman yang tak diketahui, mungkin membuat kita memimpikan renang tanpa akhir di dalam keabadian. Setelah melewati ke-12 lagu, entah mengapa tubuh dan pikiran menjadi sensitif. Apakah ini hal yang baik? Saya tidak tahu pasti, tetapi ini akan membantu hidup menjadi lebih mendebarkan dari sekarang. Seperti bir yang diminum setelah berenang, terasa segar dan memusingkan. / Reporter Kim Ji-hye, Kyunghyang Shinmun [Swiimers High] Producer's Note Noise Rock dengan jantung K-Pop, siap untuk melangkah ke dunia. Selama 30 tahun terakhir berkelana di pinggiran musik populer Korea sebagai penggemar, musisi, produser, insinyur, produser eksekutif, dan penulis lirik, saya telah menyaksikan dan mengalami banyak suka duka serta pasang surut. Ciri umum dari musisi yang bertahan lama adalah 'ketidaktergantikan'. Saat membuat album ini, saya banyak berpikir tentang alasan mengapa Swiimers harus ada, dan mengapa harus Swiimers. Lirik lagu Swiimers sangat indah dan memiliki tingkat penyelesaian yang tinggi. Bisa dikatakan mendekati sastra murni atau puisi, sehingga sangat implisit dan sulit, sehingga makna tersembunyinya hanya bisa ditemukan jika diperhatikan dengan saksama. Saya berharap semangat yang ada dalam 'MOMMY', rasa sakit yang tak terhapuskan dalam 'Knight Verse', kehidupan dan pemikiran pemuda zaman ini yang digambarkan dalam 'Neon Blue', serta penghiburan yang terkandung dalam 'Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis' dapat tersampaikan sepenuhnya. Spektrum musik Swiimers luas, namun suaranya ringkas dan konsisten. Fondasi suara Swiimers dibentuk oleh selera musik kompleks Cho Michi, yang gemar mendengarkan aliran post/indie rock seperti Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division, dan Slowdive, namun ternyata juga merupakan penggemar aespa dan Crush, serta selera Jang Sun Woong yang menyukai rock yang lugas seperti Acidman dan Arctic Monkeys. Di atas ritme yang menyegarkan, suara seperti mimpi yang diciptakan oleh efek gitar dan synthesizer bertumpuk seperti selimut yang empuk, dan ketika melodi pop dengan hook yang kuat serta suara Cho Michi yang penuh udara (air) terbenam dengan nyaman di dalamnya, terciptalah suara yang hanya bisa dijelaskan sebagai 'khas Swiimers'. Sebagai produser, saya ingin mendefinisikannya sebagai 'noise rock dengan jantung K-Pop'. Swiimers memiliki fondasi yang kuat dan ekspansibilitas yang luas. EP debut yang dirilis tahun 2016 menerima perhatian kecil tidak hanya di dalam negeri tetapi juga di luar negeri, dan melalui penampilan di Liverpool Sound Festival tahun 2017 serta tur klub di Inggris dan Berlin, Swiimers mengonfirmasi potensinya di pasar luar negeri. Single 'Erika' yang dirilis lebih awal pada September tahun ini menerima ulasan positif dari webzine musik di Polandia, Kanada, dan tempat lainnya, dan tur ke Thailand serta Jepang yang dijadwalkan pada November juga sangat dinantikan di sana. Ekspansibilitas Swiimers juga dapat dijelaskan secara genre. Dimulai dengan lagu pertama 'Beautiful Days' yang memiliki nuansa bedroom pop yang malas, 'MOMMY' yang merupakan gitar pop yang ceria, 'Neon Blue' yang mengingatkan pada kancah indie domestik awal, 'Ice & Fire' yang akan disambut baik oleh penggemar post-rock tradisional, 'Gravity' yang dibuat sebagai lagu pernikahan, hingga 'Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis' yang berisi penghormatan kepada legenda shoegazing; album ini berisi musik warna-warni seperti paket hadiah komprehensif. Meskipun banyak waktu berlalu dari EP hingga album penuh, aktivitas terus berlanjut dengan perilisan single 'Even If I Don't Believe in Eternity' (2018), 'Knight Verse' (2022), dan 'Winter Resolution' (2022). Mulai tahun 2024, 9 (=saya sendiri...) yang sebelumnya hanya berpartisipasi sebagai kreator dan produser, bergabung sebagai anggota gitar untuk merapikan keseluruhan suara live dan memperkuat basis aktivitas dengan mengasah rasa panggung melalui pertunjukan rutin di klub Hongdae. Kini, persiapan untuk merambah dunia telah selesai. / 9 (Song Jae Kyung) [Swiimers] Cho Michi MQ CHO Jang Sun Woong Jang Sun Woong Song Jae Kyung Jay Song [Tracks] 01.

Produser Eksekutif 스위머스 Swiimers20:T24cb,Primo album regolare di Swiimers [Swiimers High] In quei giorni, durante le giornate invernali, ci incontravamo semplicemente per chiacchierare, piangere, ubriacarci, separarci e poi ritrovarci subito. Il tempo era stranamente sovrabbondante, e anche senza credere nell'eternità, ogni giorno sembrava già eterno. Assaporavamo a lungo le cose che svaniscono in un istante, come il fiato che si condensa o l'alcol che scorre. Eravamo così disperati che nemmeno l'effimero ci sembrava insufficiente. Il primo album regolare della band Swiimers, [SWIIMERS HIGH], ci restituisce quei giorni d'inverno dimenticati come in un sogno. Anche se sono passati dieci anni dal primo singolo 'Polaris' (2015), gli Swiimers si trovano ancora naturalmente sopra l' "istante", come se stessero nuotando. L'album è composto da 12 brani forgiati catturando il tempo che scorre. Hanno colto i momenti che vagano, evaporano, lampeggiano e precipitano, spiegandoli attraverso densi rumori di chitarra e voci sussurrate. Anche quando un suono caotico e sfarzoso come un caleidoscopio, a volte precario, riempie i brani, non si avverte ansia. Forse è merito della maturità tecnica della band. Oltre ai membri originari, il leader Cho Min-kyung (chitarra, voce) e Jang Seon-woong (batteria), si è unito come nuovo membro Song Jae-kyung (chitarra, produttore). I singoli già pubblicati che formano la "trilogia delle promesse" — 'Anche se non credo nell'eternità', 'Knight Verse' e 'Winter Resolution' — costituiscono l'ossatura dell'album, mentre gli spazi tra di essi sono riempiti da cose che, proprio perché non eterne, sono belle come l'eternità. È così fin dal primo brano, 'Giorni Bellissimi'. I tempi passati, evocati dopo una lunghissima deriva, sono inevitabilmente belli, anche se non offrono alcuna consolazione. 'Gravity (Ancora)' cerca di legare come un'ancora il "presente" in cui "volano le farfalle e precipitano piogge di fiori", ma che non può essere eterno; in 'Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis', invece di ancorarsi all'istante, si sceglie di diventare semplicemente un'onda che scorre. Naturalmente, il desiderio di soffermarsi su una bellezza che evapora presto si stanca spesso. Il secondo brano e traccia principale, 'MOMMY', abbraccia il cuore che desidera staccarsi da "un corpo impotente e inutile", sussurrando: "non è colpa tua". Una melodia dolce avvolge una disperazione faticosa. È una consolazione travolgente. Mentre si naviga tra i frammenti del tempo, il brano che cattura inaspettatamente l'attenzione è 'Neon Blue'. È una voce bassa, raramente sentita negli Swiimers. Brilla come un neon ed è calda come una lampadina a incandescenza. L'ultimo brano, che dà anche il titolo all'album, 'SWIIMERS HIGH', è a tutti gli effetti un festival dell'istante. Fa sognare un'altezza senza altezza, una profondità ignota, forse un nuoto infinito nell'eternità. Dopo aver attraversato tutti i 12 brani, corpo e mente diventano per qualche ragione più sensibili. È una cosa buona? Non lo so con certezza, ma aiuterà a rendere la vita più elettrizzante di adesso. È rinfrescante e stordente, come una birra bevuta dopo una nuotata. / Kim Ji-hye, giornalista del Kyunghyang Shinmun [Swiimers High] Note del Produttore Noise rock con il cuore del K-Pop, pronto per espandersi nel mondo. Avendo vagato per i margini della musica popolare coreana negli ultimi 30 anni come fan, musicista, produttore, ingegnere, produttore esecutivo e paroliere, e avendo assistito e vissuto molte gioie, dolori, ascese e cadute, ho notato che la caratteristica comune dei musicisti che lasciano un segno duraturo è l' "insostituibilità". Creando questo album, ho riflettuto molto sul motivo per cui gli Swiimers debbano esistere, sul perché non possa essere nessun altro se non loro. I testi degli Swiimers sono molto belli e di alta qualità. Si potrebbe dire che siano vicini alla letteratura pura o alla poesia; sono altrettanto ellittici e complessi, e bisogna osservarli attentamente per trovarne i significati nascosti. Spero che lo spirito insito in 'MOMMY', il dolore indelebile di 'Knight Verse', la vita e le riflessioni dei giovani di quest'epoca dipinte in 'Neon Blue' e la consolazione contenuta in 'Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis' possano essere trasmesse appieno. Lo spettro musicale degli Swiimers è ampio, ma il loro suono è conciso e coerente. Le fondamenta del suono degli Swiimers sono costituite dai gusti musicali complessi di MQ CHO, che ama ascoltare il post/indie rock di artisti come Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division e Slowdive, ma è anche un fan di aespa e Crush, e dai gusti di Jang Sun Woong, che predilige un rock più diretto come quello di Acidman e Arctic Monkeys. Su ritmi rinfrescanti si accumulano suoni onirici creati da effetti per chitarra e sintetizzatori, come una morbida coperta; quando a ciò si aggiungono melodie pop con hook efficaci e la voce eterea di MQ CHO, si completa un suono che può essere descritto solo come "tipico degli Swiimers". Come produttore, vorrei definirlo come "noise rock con il cuore del K-Pop". Gli Swiimers possiedono una base solida e un'ampia capacità di espansione. L'EP di debutto pubblicato nel 2016 ha ricevuto una discreta attenzione non solo in Corea ma anche all'estero, e attraverso la partecipazione al Liverpool Sound Festival nel 2017 e i tour nei club di Regno Unito e Berlino, gli Swiimers hanno confermato il loro potenziale nel mercato internazionale. Il singolo "Erika", pubblicato in anteprima a settembre di quest'anno, è stato lodato da webzine musicali in Polonia, Canada e altri paesi, e anche i tour in Thailandia e Giappone previsti per novembre sono molto attesi localmente. L'espansività degli Swiimers può essere spiegata anche a livello di genere. A partire dal primo brano "Beautiful Days", caratterizzato da un'atmosfera languida da bedroom pop, passando per il frizzante guitar pop di "MOMMY", "Neon Blue" che ricorda la prima scena indie coreana, "Ice & Fire" che farebbe piacere ai fan del post-rock tradizionale, "Gravity" scritta come canzone per matrimoni, fino a "Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis" che contiene un omaggio alle leggende dello shoegazing, questo album racchiude musiche multicolori come un set regalo assortito. Sebbene sia passato molto tempo tra l'EP e l'album regolare, l'attività è proseguita costantemente con il rilascio dei singoli "Even if I don't believe in eternity" (2018), "Knight Verse" (2022) e "Winter Resolution" (2022). Dal 2024, 9 (=cioè io...), che finora aveva partecipato solo come creatore e produttore, è entrato come chitarrista, riorganizzando l'intero suono live e consolidando la base dell'attività attraverso esibizioni regolari nei club di Hongdae per affinare il senso della scena. Ora sono pronti per espandersi nel mondo. / 9 (Song Jae Kyung) [Swiimers] MQ CHO Jang Sun Woong Jay Song [Tracks] 01. 아름다운 시절 (Beautiful Days) Testi e Musica di MQ CHO Arrangiamento ed Esecuzione di Swiimers 02.

Produttore Esecutivo 스위머스 Swiimers21:T2adc,Swiimers 正規1集 [Swiimers High] あの頃冬の日になれば、私たちはただ騒ぎ、泣き、酔い、出会っては別れ、すぐにまた会った。時間が不思議なほど有り余っていて、永遠を信じていなくても、すでに毎日が永遠のようだった。広がる白い息や流れる酒のように、すぐに消えてしまうものを長く味わった。あまりに切実だったので、刹那であっても惜しくはなかった。バンドSwiimersの初のフルアルバム [SWIIMERS HIGH] は、忘れていたあの冬の日を夢のように取り戻してくれる。初のシングル「Polaris」(2015) から10年が流れても、Swiimersは相変わらず泳ぐように、当然のこととして「瞬間」の上にいる。流れる時間を繋ぎ止めて研ぎ澄ませた12曲がアルバムを埋めた。漂流し、揮発し、点滅し、降り注ぐ瞬間を捉え、厚みのあるギターノイズと囁くような声で描き出した。万華鏡のように目まぐるしく華やかな、時には危ういサウンドが曲を満たしていても、不安は感じられない。バンドの熟練した技量のおかげだろうか。オリジナルメンバーであるリーダーのチョ・ミンギョン（ギター・ボーカル）とチャン・ソンウン（ドラム）に加え、ソン・ジェギョン（ギター・プロデューサー）が新メンバーとして合流した。「永遠を信じていなくても」と「Knight Verse」、「Winter Resolution」まで、「約束3部作」を成す既発表のシングルたちがアルバムの骨組みとなり、永遠ではないからこそ永遠のように美しいものたちがその間を埋める。一曲目の「美しい時代」からがそうだ。長い長い漂流の上に召喚された昔の時代は、到底慰めにはならなくても、どうしようもなく美しい。「Gravity(錨)」は「蝶が舞い、花の雨が降り注ぐ」、しかし永遠ではありえない「今」を錨のように繋ぎ止めようとし、「Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis」では瞬間に停泊する代わりに、ただ流れる波になることを選ぶ。当然ながら、すぐに揮発する美しさに留まりたい心は、しばしば疲れ果てる。二曲目にしてタイトル曲の「MOMMY」は、「無能で無用な体から」離れたいと思う心に「あなたのせいじゃない」と抱きしめてくれる。過酷な絶望を優しいメロディーが包み込む。胸に迫る慰めだ。砕け散る時間の間を航海する中で、思いがけず耳を引く曲は「Neon Blue」だ。Swiimersからは聞き慣れなかった低い声だ。ネオンのように輝き、白熱電球のように温かい。最後の曲であり、アルバム名でもある「SWIIMERS HIGH」は、まさに瞬間の祭典だ。高さのない高さ、深さ知れぬ深さ、あるいは永遠の中での終わりのない遊泳を夢見させる。12曲をすべて通り抜けると、どういうわけか身も心も敏感になる。良いことなのだろうか。よくは分からないが、人生が今よりも刺激的になる助けになるはずだ。水泳の後に飲むビールのように、爽快で、目が回る。 / 京郷新聞金智恵記者 [Swiimers High] Producer's Note K-Popの心臓を持つノイズロック、世界へ広がる準備完了ファン、ミュージシャン、プロデューサー、エンジニア、制作家、作詞家として韓国大衆音楽界の辺境を放浪してきたこの30余年、多くの喜怒哀楽と興亡盛衰を目撃し経験してきた結果、長く残るミュージシャンの共通した特徴は「代替不可能性」である。今回のアルバムを作りながら、Swiimersが存在すべき理由、Swiimersでなければならない理由について深く考えた。Swiimersの歌詞は非常に美しく、完成度が高い。おそらく純文学や詩に近いと言えるが、その分含蓄があり難解でもあるため、注意深く見なければ隠された意味を見つけ出すことはできない。「MOMMY」に宿るある種の精神、「Knight Verse」の消えない痛み、「Neon Blue」が描くこの時代の青年の人生と思念、「Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis」に込められた慰めが、ありのままに伝わることを願っている。 Swiimersの音楽スペクトラムは広いが、サウンドは簡潔で一貫している。Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division, Slowdiveなどのポスト/インディーロック系を好んで聴くが、実はaespaやCrushのファンでもあるチョ・ミチの複合的な音楽的嗜好と、AcidmanやArctic Monkeysのようなストレートなロックを好むチャン・ソンウンの嗜好が、Swiimersサウンドの土台を成している。清涼感のあるリズムの上に、ギターエフェクターとシンセサイザーが奏でる夢心地な音がふかふかの布団のように積み重なり、フックの効いたポップなメロディーと空気感（Air）たっぷりのチョ・ミチの声がその中に心地よく埋もれると、「Swiimersらしい」としか説明できないサウンドが完成する。プロデューサーとしては「K-Popの心臓を持つノイズロック」程度に定義したい。Swiimersは強固な基盤と幅広い拡張性を持っている。2016年にリリースされたデビューEPは、国内だけでなく海外でも少なからず注目を集め、2017年のリバプール・サウンド・フェスティバルへの出演と、イギリス、ベルリンでのクラブツアーを通じて、Swiimersは海外市場での可能性を確認した。今年9月に先行公開されたシングル「Erika」は、ポーランドやカナダなどの音楽ウェブジンから好評を得ており、11月に予定されているタイ、日本ツアーも現地で多くの期待を集めている。Swiimersの拡張性はジャンル的にも説明できる。気だるいベッドルーム・ポップ感の1曲目「美しい時代」を皮切りに、弾けるギターポップ「MOMMY」、初期の国内インディーシーンを連想させる「Neon Blue」、正統派ポストロックファンが喜ぶであろう「Ice & Fire」、結婚式の祝歌として作られた「Gravity」、シューゲイジングのレジェンドへのオマージュを込めた「Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis」まで、今作のアルバムには色とりどりの音楽が総合ギフトセットのように詰め込まれている。EPからフルアルバムまで多くの時間が流れたが、「永遠を信じなくても」(2018)、「Knight Verse」(2022)、「Winter Resolution」(2022)のシングルリリースなど、活動は絶えず続いてきた。2024年からは、これまで制作者兼プロデューサーとしてのみ参加していた9(=私です...)がギターメンバーとして加入し、ライブサウンド全般を整備し、弘大のクラブでの定期公演でステージ感覚を養うなど、活動基盤を固めた。今、世界へ羽ばたく準備が整ったのである。 / 9(ソン・ジェギョン) [スウィマーズ Swiimers] チョ・ミチ MQ CHO チャン・ソンウン Jang Sun Woong ソン・ジェギョン Jay Song [Tracks] 01. 美しい時代作詞/作曲 Lyrics and Composed by チョ・ミチ MQ CHO 編曲/演奏 Arranged and Performed by スウィマーズ Swiimers 02.

ទោះបីជាមិនដឹងច្បាស់ ប៉ុន្តែវានឹងជួយឱ្យជីវិតមានភាពរំភើបជាងពេលនេះ។ វាត្រជាក់ និងវិលវង់ ដូចជាការផឹកស្រាបៀរក្រោយពេលហែលទឹក។ / អ្នកកាសែត Kim Ji-hye នៃកាសែត Kyunghyang [Swiimers High] Producer's Note Noise Rock ដែលមានបេះដូងជា K-Pop, រួចរាល់ក្នុងការឈានទៅកាន់ពិភពលោក ក្នុងរយៈពេលជាង ៣០ ឆ្នាំដែលខ្ញុំបានដើរលីងលីងក្នុងពិភពតន្ត្រីមហាជនកូរ៉េ ក្នុងនាមជាអ្នកគាំទ្រ, តន្ត្រីករ, ផលិតករ, វិស្វករ, អ្នកផលិត និងអ្នកសរសេរទំនុកច្រៀង ខ្ញុំបានឃើញ និងជួបប្រទះនូវសេចក្តីសុខទុក្ខ និងការឡើងចុះជាច្រើន ដែលលក្ខណៈរួមនៃតន្ត្រីករដែលនៅសេសសល់បានយូរ គឺ ‘ភាពដែលមិនអាចជំនួសបាន’។ ក្នុងការបង្កើតអាល់ប៊ុមនេះ ខ្ញុំបានគិតច្រើនអំពីមូលហេតុដែលត្រូវតែមាន Swiimers និងមូលហេតុដែលមិនអាចជាអ្នកផ្សេងក្រៅពី Swiimers។ ទំនុកច្រៀងរបស់ Swiimers មានភាពស្រស់ស្អាត និងមានគុណភាពខ្ពស់បំផុត។ អាចនិយាយបានថាវាជិតកៀកនឹងអក្សរសិល្ប៍សុទ្ធ ឬកំណាព្យ ដែលវាមានអត្ថន័យបង្កប់ និងពិបាកយល់ ដែលយើងត្រូវពិនិត្យឱ្យបានហ្មត់ចត់ ទើបអាចរកឃើញអត្ថន័យដែលលាក់ទុក។ ខ្ញុំសង្ឃឹមថា ស្មារតីដែលបង្កប់ក្នុង ‘MOMMY’, ការឈឺចាប់ដែលមិនអាចលុបចេញបាននៃ ‘Knight Verse’, ជីវិត និងការគិតគូយនៃយុវវ័យក្នុងសម័យនេះដែលគូរជារូបភាពក្នុង ‘Neon Blue’ និងការលួងលោមដែលមានក្នុង ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’ នឹងអាចត្រូវបានបញ្ជូនទៅដល់អ្នកស្តាប់យ៉ាងពេញលេញ។ វិសាលភាពតន្ត្រីរបស់ Swiimers គឺធំទូលាយ ប៉ុន្តែសម្លេងគឺសាមញ្ញ និងមានសង្គតិភាព។ មូលដ្ឋានគ្រឹះនៃសម្លេងរបស់ Swiimers ត្រូវបានបង្កើតឡើងដោយចំណូលចិត្តតន្ត្រីដ៏ចម្រុះរបស់ Jo Michi ដែលចូលចិត្តស្ដាប់ប្រភេទ Post/Indie Rock ដូចជា Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division, Slowdive ជាដើម ប៉ុន្តែបើពិនិត្យឱ្យច្បាស់ គាត់ក៏ជាអ្នកគាំទ្ររបស់ aespa និង Crush ផងដែរ រួមជាមួយចំណូលចិត្តរបស់ Jang Sun Woong ដែលចូលចិត្តតន្ត្រី Rock បែបត្រង់ៗ (straight rock) ដូចជា Acidman និង Arctic Monkeys។ នៅលើចង្វាក់ដ៏ស្រស់ស្រាយ សម្លេងដូចក្នុងសុបិនដែលបង្កើតឡើងដោយ Guitar Effector និង Synthesizer បានគប់លើគ្នាដូចជាភួយដ៏ទន់លីស ហើយនៅពេលដែលបទភ្លេងបែប Pop ដែលមាន Hook ខ្លាំង និងសម្លេងដ៏ស្រាលនៃខ្យល់របស់ Jo Michi ត្រូវបានបង្កប់យ៉ាងកក់ក្តៅនៅក្នុងនោះ វានឹងបង្កើតបានជាសម្លេងមួយដែលអាចពន្យល់បានតែមួយម៉ាត់ថា ‘ដូចជា Swiimers’។ ក្នុងនាមជាផលិតករ ខ្ញុំចង់កំណត់និយមន័យវាថាជា ‘Noise Rock ដែលមានបេះដូងជា K-Pop’។ Swiimers មានមូលដ្ឋានគ្រឹះដ៏រឹងមាំ និងលទ្ធភាពក្នុងការពង្រីកខ្លួនយ៉ាងទូលាយ។ EP លើកដំបូងដែលបានចេញផ្សាយក្នុងឆ្នាំ ២០១៦ មិនត្រឹមតែទទួលបានការចាប់អារម្មណ៍តិចតួចនៅក្នុងប្រទេសប៉ុណ្ណោះទេ ប៉ុន្តែថែមទាំងនៅបរទេសផងដែរ ហើយតាមរយៈការចូលរួមក្នុងមហោৎសវៈសម្លេង Liverpool Sound Festival ក្នុងឆ្នាំ ២០១៧ ព្រមទាំងការដើរប្រគំតន្ត្រីតាមក្លឹបក្នុងប្រទេសអង់គ្លេស និងទីក្រុងប៊ែរឡីន Swiimers បានបញ្ជាក់ពីសក្ដានុពលនៅក្នុងទីផ្សារបរទេស។ Single ‘Erika’ ដែលបានចេញផ្សាយជាមុនក្នុងខែកញ្ញាឆ្នាំនេះ ទទួលបានការសរសើរពីទស្សនាវដ្តីតន្ត្រីក្នុងប្រទេសប៉ូឡូញ កាណាដា និងកន្លែងផ្សេងៗទៀត ហើយការដើរប្រគំតន្ត្រីក្នុងប្រទេសថៃ និងជប៉ុនដែលគ្រោងធ្វើឡើងក្នុងខែវិច្ឆិកាក៏កំពុងទទួលបានការរំពឹងទុកយ៉ាងខ្លាំងពីអ្នកក្នុងតំបន់ផងដែរ។ លទ្ធភាពពង្រីកខ្លួនរបស់ Swiimers ក៏អាចពន្យល់បានតាមរយៈប្រភេទតន្ត្រីផងដែរ។ ចាប់ផ្ដើមពីបទដំបូង ‘Beautiful Days’ ដែលមានអារម្មណ៍បែប Bedroom Pop ដ៏គីជើ, បន្ទាប់មកគឺ ‘MOMMY’ ដែលជា Guitar Pop ដ៏រស់រវើក, ‘Neon Blue’ ដែលធ្វើឱ្យនឹកឃើញដល់សកម្មភាព Indie ក្នុងប្រទេសកូរ៉េសម័យដើម, ‘Ice & Fire’ ដែលអ្នកគាំទ្រ Post-rock បែបបុរាណនឹងពេញចិត្ត, ‘Gravity’ ដែលត្រូវបានបង្កើតឡើងជាបទចម្រៀងក្នុងពិធីមង្គលការ, រហូតដល់ ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’ ដែលមានផ្ទុកនូវការគោរពចំពោះវីរបុរសនៃប្រភេទ Shoegazing អាល់ប៊ុមនេះមានផ្ទុកនូវតន្ត្រីចម្រុះពណ៌ដូចជាកញ្ចប់កាដូដ៏ធំមួយ។ ទោះបីជាមានពេលយូរពី EP រហូតដល់អាល់ប៊ុមពេញលេញ ប៉ុន្តែសកម្មភាពនៅតែបន្តឥតឈប់ឈរ តាមរយៈការចេញ Single ដូចជា ‘Even If I Don’t Believe in Eternity’ (២០១៨), ‘Knight Verse’ (២០២២), និង ‘Winter Resolution’ (២០២២)។ ចាប់ពីឆ្នាំ ២០២៤ មក 9 (ដែលគឺជាខ្ញុំ...) ដែលកន្លងមកបានចូលរួមត្រឹមតែក្នុងនាមជាអ្នកផលិត និងផលិតករ បានចូលមកជាសមាជិកលេងហ្គីតា ដោយបានរៀបចំសម្លេង Live ជារួម និងពង្រឹងមូលដ្ឋានសកម្មភាព ដូចជាការហាត់សមលើឆាកតាមរយៈការប្រគំតន្ត្រីទៀងទាត់នៅក្លឹបតំបន់ Hongdae។ ឥឡូវនេះ ការត្រៀមខ្លួនដើម្បីឈានទៅកាន់ពិភពលោកបានបញ្ចប់ហើយ។ / 9 (Song Jae Kyung) [Swiimers] Jo Michi MQ CHO Jang Sun Woong Song Jae Kyung Jay Song [Tracks] 01.

Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division, Slowdive 등 포스트/인디록 계통을 즐겨 듣지만 알고 보면 에스파와 크러쉬의 팬이기도 한 조미치의 복합적인 음악 취향과, Acidman, Arctic Monkeys와 같은 스트레이트한 록을 즐기는 장선웅의 취향이 스위머스 사운드의 토대를 이룬다. 청량한 리듬 위에 기타 이펙터와 신시사이저가 자아내는 꿈결 같은 소리들이 폭신한 이불처럼 쌓이고, 훅이 살아있는 팝적인 멜로디와 공기(Air) 가득한 조미치의 목소리가 그 안에 포근히 파묻히면 ‘스위머스 같다’고 밖에는 설명할 수 없는 사운드가 완성된다. 프로듀서로서 ‘K-Pop의 심장을 가진 노이즈 록’ 정도로 정의하고 싶다. 스위머스는 탄탄한 기반과 폭넓은 확장성을 갖고 있다. 2016년 발매된 데뷔 EP는 국내뿐만 아니라 해외에서도 소소한 관심을 받은 바 있으며, 2017년 리버풀 사운드 페스티벌 출연과 영국, 베를린 클럽 투어를 통해 스위머스는 해외 시장에서의 가능성을 확인했다. 올해 9월 선공개된 싱글 ‘Erika’는 폴란드, 캐나다 등지의 음악 웹진으로부터 호평을 받았고 11월 예정된 태국, 일본 투어도 현지에서 많은 기대를 받고 있다. 스위머스의 확장성은 장르적으로도 설명될 수 있다. 나른한 베드 룸 팝 감성의 첫 곡 ‘아름다운 시절’을 시작으로 통통 튀는 기타 팝 ‘MOMMY', 초기 국내 인디 씬을 연상시키는 ‘Neon Blue', 정통 포스트록 팬들이 반길 만한 ’Ice & Fire', 결혼식 축가로 만들어진 ‘Gravity', 슈게이징 레전드에 대한 오마주를 담은 ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’까지 이번 앨범에는 형형색색의 음악이 종합선물세트처럼 담겨있다. EP 이후 정규까지 많은 시간이 흘렀지만 ‘영원을 믿지 않아도’(2018), ’Knight Verse'(2022), 'Winter Resolution'(2022) 싱글 발매 등 활동은 꾸준히 이어져왔다. 2024년부터는 그간 제작자 겸 프로듀서로만 참여해온 9(=접니다...)가 기타 멤버로 들어와 라이브 사운드 전반을 정비하고, 홍대 클럽 정기 공연으로 무대 감각을 익히는 등 활동 기반을 다졌다. 이제 세계로 뻗어나갈 준비가 끝난 것이다. / 9(송재경) [스위머스 Swiimers] 조미치 MQ CHO 장선웅 Jang Sun Woong 송재경 Jay Song [Tracks] 01. 아름다운 시절 작사/작곡 Lyrics and Composed by 조미치 MQ CHO 편곡/연주 Arranged and Performed by 스위머스 Swiimers 02.

Цаг хугацаа хачин байдлаар дэвсгэр, их байсан тул мөнхөлд итгэхгүй байсан ч өдөр бүхэн нь хэдийнээ мөнх шиг санагддаг байв. Түгжрэн гарч буй амьсгал эсвэл урсаж буй архи шиг хурдан алга болох зүйлсийг удаан насаж мэдэрчээ. Хэтэрхий тэсвэрлэлтэй байсан тул тэрхүү агшин нь богино байсан ч харамсах зүйлгүй байлаа. Band Swiimers-ийн эхний албан ёсны цомгийн [SWIIMERS HIGH] нь мартагдсан тэрхүү өвлийн өдрүүдийг зүүд шиг эргүүлэн авчирна. Эхний сингл ‘Polaris’ (2015)-аас хойш 10 жил өнгөрсөн ч Swiimers-ийнхэн хэвээрээ усанд сэлж буй мэт ‘агшин’ дээр байсаар байна. Урсаж буй цаг хугацааг барьж авч хурцласан 12 дуу цомгийг дүүргэжээ. Хөвж, ууршиж, анивчих, асгарч буй агшнуудыг барьж авч, гитарын өтгөн шуугиан болон шивнэн ярих хоолойгоор дэлгэжээ. Калейдоскоп шиг эрээн бөгөөд сүрлэг, заримдаа аюултай сонсогдох хөгжим дууг дүүргэсэн ч түгшүүр мэдрэгдэхгүй. Энэ нь хамтлагийн гүйцэдгэсэн ур чадварын ачаар уу. Анхны гишүүд болох удирдагч Жо Мин Гён (гитар, вокал) болон Жан Сон Ун (барабан)-д нэмж Сон Жэ Гён (гитар, продюсер) шинэ гишүүнээр нэгджээ. ‘Мөнхөлд итгэхгүй байсан ч’ болон ‘Knight Verse’, ‘Winter Resolution’ хүртэлх ‘амлалтын гурвалж’г бүрдүүлсэн өмнө нь гаргасан синглүүд нь цомгийн суурь болж, мөнх бус учраас мөнх шиг үзэсгэлэнтэй зүйлс тэрхүү зайг дүүргэжээ. Эхний дуу болох ‘Үзэсгэлэнт үе’-ээс эхлээд тийм. Урт удаан хөвж явах явцад дуудагдсан хуучин үе нь огтхон ч тайвшруулахгүй байсан ч, яаж ч аргагүй үзэсгэлэнтэй байдаг. ‘Gravity (Нөхөр)’ нь “Шарьж нисэж, цэцгийн бороо асгардаг”, гэвч мөнх байж чадахгүй ‘одоо’г нөхөр шиг барьж тогтоохыг хичээдэг бол, ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’ дээр агшинд загнахын оронд зүгээр л урсаж буй давалгаа болохыг сонгожээ. Мэдээж, удахгүй уурших үзэсгэлэнт зүйлд үлдэхийг хүсэх сэтгэл нь ихэвчлэн ядардаг. Хоёр дахь трек бөгөөд гол дуу болох ‘MOMMY’ нь “ур чадваргүй, хэрэггүй биеэс” салж хүсэж буй сэтгэлд “Чиний буруу биш ээ” гэнээн тэврэлдэж байна. Хүнд хэцүү цөхрөлийг зөөлөн аялгуу тэврэлдэж байна. Энэ бол сэтгэл сэргээх тайвшруулга юм. Эвдэрч буй цаг хугацааны дундуур аялах явцад санаандгүйгээр чихийг татдаг дуу бол ‘Neon Blue’ юм. Swiimers-ээс сонсох гэж төвөгтэй байсан нам хоолой. Неон шиг гэрэлтсэн, гэрэлтүүлэгч чирэг шиг дулаан. Сүүлчийн дуу бөгөөд цомгийн нэр болох ‘SWIIMERS HIGH’ нь яг л агшны баяр наадам юм. Өндөргүй өндөр, гүн нь мэдэгдэхгүй гүн, магадгүй мөнх зүйлс дундах төгсгөлгүй сэлэлтийг мөрөөдүүлдэг. 12 дууг бүгдийг нь сонгож дууссаны дараа, яагаад ч юм бие болон сэтгэл мэдрэмжтэй болдог. Энэ нь сайн зүйл үү. Сайн мэдэхгүй ч, амьдралыг одоогийнхыг нь илүү сэтгэл хөдөлгөм болгоход тусална. Усанд сэлсний дараа уух шарр шиг, сэрүүн бөгөөд толгой эргэмтэй. / Кёнхян Шинмүн-ийн сэтгүүлч Ким Жи Хе [Swiimers High] Producer's Note K-Pop-ийн зүрхтэй Noise Rock, дэлхий рүү тэлэхэд бэлэн Шүтлэгч, музыкант, продюсер, инженер, үйлдвэрлэгч, дууны үг зохиогчоор Солонгосын хэрэглээний хөгжмийн ертөнцийн захаар тэнтлэн явсан сүүлийн 30 гаруй жилийн хугацаанд олон төрлийн баяр баясгалан, уй гашуу, мандалт, уналтыг харж, туршиж үзсэн миньд, удаан үлдэгддэг музыкантуудын нийтлэг шинж чанар бол ‘орлуулах боломжгүй байдал’ юм. Энэхүү цомгийг бүтээхдээ Swiimers байх шалтгаан, Swiimers биш бол болохгүй шалтгааны талаар ихэд тунгаав. Swiimers-ийн дууны үгс нь маш үзэсгэлэнтэй бөгөөд төгс болсон. Магадгүй цэвэр уран зохиол, шүлэгт ойр гэж хэлж болох бөгөөд тийм учраас утга санаа нь нуугдмал, хэцүү байдаг тул анхааралтай ажиглаж байж нуугдмал утгуудыг нь олж болно. ‘MOMMY‘-д шингэсэн ямар нэгэн сэтгэлгээ, ’Knight Verse‘-ийн арглуулж болдоггүй өвдөлт, ‘Neon Blue'-ийн зурж буй энэ үеийн залуусын амьдрал, эргэцүүлэл, ’Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis'-т агуулагдсан тайвшруулга бүрэн хүрнэ гэж найдаж байна. Swiimers-ийн хөгжмийн спектр өргөн боловч сонсгол нь энгийн бөгөөд тууштай байдаг. Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division, Slowdive зэрэг пост/инди рок урсгалыг сонирхдог ч нөгөө талаас aespa болон Crush-ийн шүтэн бишрэгч болох Jo Michi-гийн цогц хөгжмийн сонирхол болон Acidman, Arctic Monkeys зэрэг шууд рок хөгжмийг сонирхдог Jang Sun Woong-ийн сонирхол нь Swiimers-ийн сонсголын суурийг бүрдүүлдэг. Свежелсэн хэмнэл дээр гитарын эффект болон синтезаторын зүүдний мэт дуунууд зөөлөн хөнжиг шиг давхацсаар, насагдсан поп аялга болон Jo Michi-гийн агаарлагаарай дүүрэн хоолой түүний дотор зөөлөн шигтгэгдэхэд зөвхөн ‘Swiimers-ийнх шиг’ гэж тайлбарлах боломжтой сонсгол бүрддэг. Продюсерийн хувьд үүнийг ‘K-Pop-ийн зүрхтэй Noise Rock’ гэж тодорхойлмоор байна. Swiimers нь бат бөх суурь болон өргөн тэлэх боломжтой. 2016 онд гарсан анхны EP нь Солонгос улсад гэлтгүй гадаадад ч тодорхой хэмжээний анхаарал татсан бөгөөд 2017 оны Ливерпулийн Sound Festival-д оролцсон, Их Британи, Берлиний клуб турт тоглолтоор дамжуулан гадаадын зах зээл дээрх боломжоо тодорхойлсон. Энэхүү жилийн 9-р сард урьдчилан гаргасан ‘Erika’ сингл нь Польш, Канад зэрэг орнуудын хөгжмийн вэб сэтгүүлүүдээс өндөр үнэлгээ авсан бөгөөд 11-р сард төлөвлөж буй Тайланд, Японы турт тоглолтот нь орон нутгийнхны дунд ихээхэн хүлээгдэж байна. Swiimers-ийн тэлэх чадварыг төрөл зүйлээр нь ч тайлбарлаж болно. Зөөлөн Bed Room Pop мэдрэмжтэй эхний дуу ‘Beautiful Days’-ээс эхлээд, хэмнэлтэй гитар поп ‘MOMMY’, Солонгосын эхний үеийн инди хэсгийг санагдуулах ‘Neon Blue’, жинхэнэ пост-рок шүтэн бишрэгчдийн тааламжид нийцэх ‘Ice & Fire’, хуримын дуу болгон бүтээсэн ‘Gravity’, шугейзинг (shoegazing) домтгүүдэд зориулсан ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’ хүртэл энэ албумд олон төрлийн хөгжим бэлэг багц шиг багтжээ. EP-ийн дараа бүрэн хэмжээний албум гарах хүртэл их хугацаа өнгөрсөн ч ‘Even if I don’t believe in eternity’ (2018), ‘Knight Verse’ (2022), ‘Winter Resolution’ (2022) зэрэг синглүүдийг гаргаж, үйл ажиллагаагаа тасралтгүй үргэлжлүүлсээр ирсэн. 2024 оноос эхлэн өмнө нь зөвхөн бүтээгч болон продюсерийн хувьд оролцож байсан 9 (=намайг...) гитарчин болж нэгдсэнээр лайв сонсголыг бүхэлд нь засварлаж, Хонгдэ-гийн клубийн тогтмол тоглолтоор тайзны мэдрэмжээ эзэмшиж, үйл ажиллагааныхаа суурийг бэхлэлээ. Одоо дэлхий нийтэд тэлэх бэлтгэл нь бүрэн болсон юм. / 9 (Song Jae Kyung) [Swiimers] Jo Michi MQ CHO Jang Sun Woong Song Jae Kyung Jay Song [Tracks] 01.

Masa terasa begitu melimpah ruah sehingga walaupun kami tidak mempercayai keabadian, setiap hari sudah terasa seperti abadi. Kami menghargai dalam masa yang lama perkara-perkara yang hilang dengan cepat, seperti nafas yang membeku di udara atau aliran minuman keras. Kerana terlalu terdesak, kami tidak merasa terkilan walaupun ia hanya seketika. Album penuh pertama kumpulan Swiimers, [SWIIMERS HIGH], mengembalikan hari-hari musim sejuk yang telah dilupakan itu seperti dalam mimpi. Walaupun 10 tahun telah berlalu sejak single pertama 'Polaris' (2015), Swiimers masih berada di atas 'detik' itu secara semula jadi, seolah-olah sedang berenang. 12 buah lagu yang ditempa dengan menangkap masa yang mengalir telah memenuhi album ini. Detik-detik yang terumbang-ambing, meruap, berkelip, dan tumpah telah dizahirkan melalui bunyi hingar gitar yang tebal dan suara yang berbisik. Walaupun bunyi yang mengelirukan dan mewah seperti kaleidoskop, dan kadangkala terasa berbahaya memenuhi lagu-lagu tersebut, tiada rasa kegelisahan yang dirasai. Mungkin ini berkat kemahiran kumpulan ini yang telah matang. Selain ahli asal, ketua Cho Min-kyung (gitar·vokal) dan Jang Seon-woong (dram), Song Jae-kyung (gitar·penerbit) telah menyertai sebagai ahli baharu. Single-single yang telah dikeluarkan sebelum ini, yang membentuk 'Trilogi Janji' bermula daripada 'Even if I don't believe in eternity', 'Knight Verse', sehingga 'Winter Resolution', menjadi rangka album ini, manakala perkara-perkara yang indah kerana tidak abadi mengisi ruang di antaranya. Bermula dengan lagu pertama 'Beautiful Days', masa lampau yang dipanggil semula di atas pengembaraan yang panjang itu tetap indah walaupun ia tidak memberikan sebarang penghiburan. 'Gravity (Anchor)' cuba mengikat 'sekarang' yang tidak boleh abadi—di mana "rama-rama terbang dan hujan bunga tumpah"—seperti sebuah sauh, manakala dalam 'Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis', mereka memilih untuk menjadi ombak yang mengalir daripada berlabuh pada satu detik. Sudah tentu, keinginan untuk kekal dalam keindahan yang akan segera meruap sering kali meletihkan. Lagu kedua dan lagu utama 'MOMMY' memeluk hati yang ingin terlepas "daripada tubuh yang tidak berdaya dan tidak berguna" sambil membisikkan "ini bukan salahmu". Melodi yang lembut memeluk keputusasaan yang berat. Ia adalah satu penghiburan yang menyentuh hati. Di tengah-tengah pelayaran antara masa yang hancur, lagu yang secara tidak sengaja menarik perhatian adalah 'Neon Blue'. Ia menampilkan suara rendah yang jarang didengar daripada Swiimers. Ia bersinar seperti neon dan hangat seperti mentol lampu. Lagu terakhir yang juga merupakan tajuk album, 'SWIIMERS HIGH', benar-benar sebuah pesta detik. Ia membuatkan kita bermimpi tentang ketinggian tanpa had, kedalaman yang tidak diketahui, dan mungkin renangan tanpa henti dalam keabadian. Setelah melalui kesemua 12 lagu, entah mengapa tubuh dan minda menjadi lebih sensitif. Adakah ini sesuatu yang baik? Walaupun tidak pasti, ia akan membantu menjadikan kehidupan lebih mendebarkan daripada sekarang. Seperti meminum bir selepas berenang, ia terasa segar dan memusingkan. / Wartawan Kim Ji-hye, Kyunghyang Shinmun [Swiimers High] Nota Penerbit Noise Rock dengan jantung K-Pop, bersedia untuk melangkah ke dunia Sepanjang 30 tahun yang lalu mengembara di pinggiran muzik popular Korea sebagai peminat, pemuzik, penerbit, jurutera, pengeluar, dan penulis lirik, saya telah menyaksikan dan mengalami banyak kegembiraan, kemarahan, kesedihan, serta kebangkitan dan kejatuhan. Ciri sepunya bagi pemuzik yang kekal lama adalah 'ketidakbolehgantian' mereka. Semasa menghasilkan album ini, saya banyak berfikir tentang sebab mengapa Swiimers perlu wujud, dan mengapa ia mesti Swiimers. Lirik lagu Swiimers sangat indah dan mempunyai tahap kesempurnaan yang tinggi. Boleh dikatakan ia hampir menyerupai sastera tulen atau puisi, jadi ia sangat tersirat dan sukar sehingga makna tersembunyi hanya dapat ditemui jika diperhatikan dengan teliti. Saya berharap semangat yang terkandung dalam 'MOMMY', kesakitan yang tidak dapat dipadamkan dalam 'Knight Verse', kehidupan dan renungan belia zaman ini yang digambarkan dalam 'Neon Blue', serta penghiburan yang terkandung dalam 'Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis' dapat disampaikan sepenuhnya. Spektrum muzik Swiimers adalah luas, namun bunyinya ringkas dan konsisten. Asas bunyi Swiimers dibentuk oleh cita rasa muzik kompleks Jo Michi, yang gemar mendengar aliran post/indie rock seperti Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division, dan Slowdive, tetapi juga merupakan peminat aespa dan Crush, serta cita rasa Jang Sun Woong yang menyukai rock yang lebih terus (straight) seperti Acidman dan Arctic Monkeys. Bunyi yang hanya boleh digambarkan sebagai 'seperti Swiimers' tercipta apabila bunyi seperti mimpi yang dihasilkan oleh pengesan gitar (guitar effector) dan pensintesis bertindan seperti selimut yang empuk di atas ritma yang menyegarkan, dengan melodi pop yang mempunyai 'hook' yang kuat serta suara Jo Michi yang penuh udara (air) terbenam dengan selesa di dalamnya. Sebagai seorang penerbit, saya ingin mentakrifkannya sebagai 'noise rock dengan jantung K-Pop'. Swiimers mempunyai asas yang kukuh dan kebolehkembangan yang luas. EP debut yang dikeluarkan pada tahun 2016 telah menerima perhatian kecil bukan sahaja di dalam negara tetapi juga di luar negara, dan melalui penampilan di Liverpool Sound Festival pada tahun 2017 serta jelajah kelab di UK dan Berlin, Swiimers telah mengesahkan potensinya di pasaran luar negara. Single 'Erika' yang dikeluarkan lebih awal pada September tahun ini menerima ulasan positif daripada majalah muzik web di Poland, Kanada dan tempat lain, manakala jelajah ke Thailand dan Jepun yang dijadualkan pada November juga sangat dinantikan di sana. Kebolehkembangan Swiimers juga boleh dijelaskan dari segi genre. Bermula dengan lagu pertama 'Beautiful Days' yang mempunyai rasa bedroom pop yang mengantuk, diikuti oleh guitar pop yang rancak 'MOMMY', 'Neon Blue' yang mengingatkan kepada babak indie awal domestik, 'Ice & Fire' yang akan menggembirakan peminat post-rock tradisional, 'Gravity' yang dicipta sebagai lagu perkahwinan, sehinggalah kepada 'Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis' yang mengandungi penghormatan kepada legenda shoegazing, album kali ini mengandungi pelbagai warna muzik seperti set hadiah komprehensif. Walaupun banyak masa telah berlalu dari EP sehingga ke album penuh, aktiviti mereka terus berterusan dengan pengeluaran single seperti 'Even If I Don't Believe in Eternity' (2018), 'Knight Verse' (2022), dan 'Winter Resolution' (2022). Bermula tahun 2024, 9 (=saya sendiri...) yang sebelum ini hanya terlibat sebagai pencipta dan penerbit, telah menyertai sebagai ahli gitar, menyusun semula keseluruhan bunyi langsung, dan mengukuhkan asas aktiviti mereka dengan mengasah deria pentas melalui persembahan berkala di kelab Hongdae. Kini, mereka sudah bersedia untuk melangkah ke dunia. / 9 (Song Jae Kyung) [Swiimers] Jo Michi MQ CHO Jang Sun Woong Song Jae Kyung Jay Song [Tracks] 01.

Penerbit Eksekutif 스위머스 Swiimers26:T5b47,Swiimers ၏ ပထမဆုံး Full Album [Swiimers High] ထိုခေတ်ကာလများတွင် ဆောင်းရာသီရောက်တိုင်း ကျွန်ုပ်တို့သည် စကားများခြင်း၊ ငိုကြွေးခြင်း၊ မူးယစ်ခြင်းတို့ဖြင့် တွေ့ဆုံကြပြီး၊ လမ်းခွဲကြသည်နှင့် တစ်ဖန် ချက်ချင်းပြန်လည်တွေ့ဆုံခဲ့ကြသည်။ အချိန်များက ထူးဆန်းစွာပင် ပိုလျှံနေခဲ့ပြီး၊ ထာဝရကို မယုံကြည်ခဲ့လျှင်ပင် နေ့ရက်တိုင်းသည် ထာဝရတစ်ခုကဲ့သို့ပင် ဖြစ်ခဲ့သည်။ ပျံ့နှံ့သွားသော အသက်ရှူသံများ သို့မဟုတ် စီးဆင်းနေသော အရက်များကဲ့သို့ပင်၊ ချက်ချင်းပျောက်ကွယ်သွားမည့်အရာများကို အချိန်ကြာမြင့်စွာ ခံစားခဲ့ကြသည်။ အလွန်အမင်း ပြင်းပြခဲ့ကြသောကြောင့်၊ ခဏတာမျှသာ ဖြစ်စေကာမူ နှမြောတသ မဖြစ်ခဲ့ကြပေ။ Band Swiimers ၏ ပထမဆုံး Full Album ဖြစ်သော [SWIIMERS HIGH] သည် မေ့လျော့နေခဲ့သော ထိုဆောင်းရာသီနေ့ရက်များကို အိပ်မက်တစ်ခုကဲ့သို့ ပြန်လည်ခေါ်ဆောင်လာပေးသည်။ ပထမဆုံး Single ‘Polaris’ (၂၀၁၅) နောက်ပိုင်း ၁၀ နှစ်တာ ကုန်လွန်ခဲ့သော်လည်း၊ Swiimers သည် ယခုတိုင် ရေကူးခတ်နေသကဲ့သို့ ‘ခဏတာ’ များအပေါ်တွင် သဘာဝကျကျ ရှိနေဆဲဖြစ်သည်။ စီးဆင်းနေသော အချိန်များကို ဖမ်းဆုပ်ပြီး သွေးထားသော သီချင်း ၁၂ ပုဒ်ဖြင့် ဤအယ်လ်ဘမ်ကို ဖြည့်ဆည်းထားသည်။ လွင့်မျောနေသော၊ အငွေ့ပျံသွားသော၊ မှိတ်တုတ်မှိတ်တုတ်ဖြစ်နေသော နှင့် အရှိန်အဟုန်ဖြင့် ကျဆင်းလာသော ခဏတာများကို ဖမ်းဆုပ်ကာ ထူထဲသော Guitar Noise များနှင့် တိုးတိုးလေးပြောသော အသံများဖြင့် ဖြန့်ကျက်ပြသထားသည်။ မှန်ပြောင်းတစ်ခုကဲ့သို့ မူးဝေပြီး တောက်ပသော၊ တစ်ခါတစ်ရံတွင် စိုးရိမ်စရာကောင်းသော အသံများက သီချင်းများကို ပြည့်နှက်နေသော်လည်း စိုးရိမ်စိတ်တော့ မခံစားရပေ။ ၎င်းသည် Band ၏ ရင့်ကျက်သော ကျွမ်းကျင်မှုကြောင့် ဖြစ်နိုင်ပါသည်။ မူလအဖွဲ့ဝင်များဖြစ်သော Leader Jo Min-kyung (Guitar·Vocal) နှင့် Jang Sun-woong (Drum) တို့အပြင် Song Jae-kyung (Guitar·Producer) က အဖွဲ့ဝင်သစ်အဖြစ် ပူးပေါင်းလာခဲ့သည်။ ‘ထာဝရကို မယုံကြည်ခဲ့လျှင်ပင်’ နှင့် ‘Knight Verse’၊ ‘Winter Resolution’ အထိ ‘ကတိကဝတ် Trilogy’ ကို ဖွဲ့စည်းထားသော ထုတ်ဝေပြီးသား Single များသည် အယ်လ်ဘမ်၏ အခြေခံအုတ်မြစ်ဖြစ်လာပြီး၊ ထာဝရမဖြစ်နိုင်သောကြောင့် ထာဝရကဲ့သို့ လှပသော အရာများက ထိုကြားထဲတွင် ဖြည့်ဆည်းထားသည်။ ပထမဆုံးသီချင်း ‘လှပသောခေတ်ကာလ’ မှစ၍ ထိုသို့ပင်ဖြစ်သည်။ ရှည်လျားသော လွင့်မျောမှုများအပေါ်သို့ ပြန်လည်ခေါ်ယူလာသော အတိတ်ကာလများသည် လုံးဝနှစ်သိမ်မှုမပေးနိုင်ခဲ့လျှင်ပင်၊ မတတ်နိုင်ဘဲ လှပနေဆဲပင်ဖြစ်သည်။ ‘Gravity (ကျောက်ဆူး)’ သည် “လိပ်ပြာများ ပျံသန်းပြီး ပန်းမိုးများ ရွာကျနေသော”၊ သို့သော် ထာဝရမဖြစ်နိုင်သော ‘ယခု’ ကို ကျောက်ဆူးတစ်ခုကဲ့သို့ ချည်နှောင်ထားရန် ကြိုးစားပြီး၊ ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’ တွင်မူ ခဏတာ၌ ကျောက်ချရပ်နားမည့်အစား စီးဆင်းနေသော လှိုင်းလုံးများဖြစ်ရန် ရွေးချယ်ခဲ့သည်။ သဘာဝကျစွာပင်၊ မကြာမီ အငွေ့ပျံသွားမည့် အလှတရားများတွင် တည်ရှိလိုသော စိတ်သည် မကြာခဏ ပင်ပန်းနွမ်းနယ်တတ်သည်။ ဒုတိယမြောက် Track ဖြစ်ပြီး Title Song ဖြစ်သော ‘MOMMY’ သည် “စွမ်းဆောင်ရည်မရှိဘဲ အသုံးမဝင်သော ခန္ဓာကိုယ်မှ” ဝေးကွာလိုသော စိတ်အား “နင့်အမှားမဟုတ်ပါဘူး” ဟု ဆိုကာ ပွေ့ဖက်ပေးသည်။ ပင်ပန်းလှသော စိတ်ပျက်အားငယ်မှုများကို ကြင်နာသော Melody က ပွေ့ဖက်ထားသည်။ ရင်ခုန်စရာကောင်းသော နှစ်သိမ်မှုပင်ဖြစ်သည်။ ပျက်စီးနေသော အချိန်များကြားတွင် ခရီးနှင်နေစဉ် မမျှော်လင့်ဘဲ နားကိုဆွဲဆောင်သွားသော သီချင်းမှာ ‘Neon Blue’ ဖြစ်သည်။ Swiimers ထံမှ ကြားရခဲသော အသံနိမ့်သံ ဖြစ်သည်။ နီယွန်မီးများကဲ့သို့ တောက်ပပြီး မီးသီးတစ်လုံးကဲ့သို့ နွေးထွေးသည်။ နောက်ဆုံးသီချင်းဖြစ်ပြီး အယ်လ်ဘမ်အမည်လည်းဖြစ်သော ‘SWIIMERS HIGH’ သည် အမှန်တကယ်ပင် ခဏတာ၏ ပွဲတော်တစ်ခုဖြစ်သည်။ အမြင့်မရှိသော အမြင့်၊ အနက်မသိသော အနက်၊ ဖြစ်နိုင်လျှင် ထာဝရအတွင်း၌ အဆုံးမဲ့ ရေကူးခတ်မှုကို အိပ်မက်မက်စေသည်။ သီချင်း ၁၂ ပုဒ်လုံးကို ဖြတ်သန်းပြီးနောက်၊ တစ်စုံတစ်ရာကြောင့် ကိုယ်နှင့်စိတ်သည် ထိခိုက်လွယ်လာသည်။ ၎င်းသည် ကောင်းသော အချက်ဖြစ်မလား။ သေချာတော့မသိသော်လည်း၊ ဘဝသည် ယခုထက် ပို၍ စိတ်လှုပ်ရှားစရာကောင်းလာစေရန် အထောက်အကူပြုလိမ့်မည်။ ရေကူးပြီးနောက် သောက်ရသော ဘီယာတစ်ခုကဲ့သို့၊ လန်းဆန်းပြီး မူးဝေစေသည်။ / Kyunghyang

O tempo sobrava de forma estranha e, mesmo sem acreditar na eternidade, cada dia já parecia eterno. Saboreávamos por longo tempo as coisas que desapareciam rapidamente, como o hálito que se espalha no ar ou a bebida que escorre. Éramos tão desesperados que, mesmo sendo apenas um instante, não sentíamos falta de nada. O primeiro álbum regular da banda Swiimers, [SWIIMERS HIGH], devolve aqueles dias de inverno esquecidos como se fossem um sonho. Mesmo tendo se passado 10 anos desde o primeiro single ‘Polaris’ (2015), o Swiimers continua naturalmente sobre o ‘instante’, como se estivesse nadando. Doze músicas, forjadas ao capturar o tempo que flui, preenchem o álbum. Momentos que derivam, evaporam, piscam e transbordam foram capturados e desdobrados através de ruídos densos de guitarra e vozes sussurrantes. Mesmo que sons tontos e exuberantes como um caleidoscópio, e às vezes precários, preencham as canções, não se sente ansiedade. Talvez seja graças à habilidade madura da banda. Além dos membros fundadores, o líder Jo Min-kyung (guitarra e vocal) e Jang Seon-woong (bateria), Song Jae-kyung (guitarra e produtor) juntou-se como novo membro. Os singles já lançados, que formam a ‘Trilogia da Promessa’ — ‘Mesmo que não acredite na eternidade’, ‘Knight Verse’ e ‘Winter Resolution’ — servem como a estrutura do álbum, e as coisas que são belas como a eternidade justamente por não serem eternas preenchem os espaços entre elas. Isso começa logo na primeira faixa, ‘Beautiful Days’. Mesmo que os tempos antigos, evocados sobre uma longa deriva, não tragam consolo algum, são inevitavelmente belos. ‘Gravity (Âncora)’ tenta prender como uma âncora o ‘agora’ onde “borboletas voam e chovem flores”, mas que não pode ser eterno; já em ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’, escolhe-se tornar a onda que flui em vez de ancorar no instante. Naturalmente, o desejo de permanecer em uma beleza que logo evapora cansa com frequência. A segunda faixa e música-título, ‘MOMMY’, abraça aquele que deseja se desprender de um “corpo incompetente e inútil”, dizendo: “a culpa não é sua”. Uma melodia gentil abraça o desespero árduo. É um consolo emocionante. Enquanto navegamos entre o tempo que se quebra, a música que inesperadamente atrai os ouvidos é ‘Neon Blue’. É uma voz grave, difícil de se ouvir no Swiimers. Brilha como neon e é quente como uma lâmpada incandescente. A última música e também nome do álbum, ‘SWIIMERS HIGH’, é verdadeiramente um festival do instante. Faz sonhar com uma altura sem altura, uma profundidade de profundidade desconhecida, e talvez um nado infinito dentro da eternidade. Após passar pelas 12 músicas, o corpo e a mente tornam-se, por algum motivo, sensíveis. Será que isso é bom? Não sei ao certo, mas ajudará a tornar a vida mais vibrante do que agora. Como a cerveja que se bebe após nadar, é refrescante e inebriante. / Repórter Kim Ji-hye, Jornal Kyunghyang [Swiimers High] Nota do Produtor Noise Rock com o coração do K-Pop, pronto para se expandir para o mundo. Tendo vagado pelas periferias da música popular coreana nos últimos 30 anos como fã, músico, produtor, engenheiro, produtor executivo e compositor, e tendo testemunhado e experienciado muitas alegrias, tristezas, ascensões e quedas, a característica comum dos músicos que permanecem por muito tempo é a ‘insubstituibilidade’. Ao criar este álbum, pensei muito sobre a razão pela qual o Swiimers deve existir, a razão pela qual não poderia ser ninguém além do Swiimers. As letras do Swiimers são belíssimas e possuem um alto nível de perfeição. Poder-se-ia dizer que estão próximas da literatura pura ou da poesia, sendo tanto implícitas quanto difíceis, de modo que é preciso observar atentamente para encontrar os significados ocultos. Espero que o espírito contido em ‘MOMMY’, a dor indelével de ‘Knight Verse’, a vida e as reflexões da juventude desta era retratadas em ‘Neon Blue’ e o consolo contido em ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’ possam ser transmitidos plenamente. O espectro musical do Swiimers é amplo, mas o som é conciso e consistente. A base do som do Swiimers é formada pelo gosto musical complexo de MQ CHO, que gosta de ouvir vertentes do post/indie rock como Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division e Slowdive, mas que também é fã de aespa e Crush, e pelo gosto de Jang Sun Woong, que aprecia o rock direto de bandas como Acidman e Arctic Monkeys. Sobre ritmos refrescantes, sons oníricos criados por pedais de guitarra e sintetizadores se acumulam como um cobertor macio; quando melodias pop com refrões marcantes e a voz arejada de MQ CHO se aninham aconchegantemente ali, completa-se um som que só pode ser descrito como "estilo Swiimers". Como produtor, gostaria de defini-lo como "noise rock com o coração do K-Pop". O Swiimers possui uma base sólida e uma ampla capacidade de expansão. O EP de estreia, lançado em 2016, recebeu atenção modesta não apenas domesticamente, mas também no exterior, e através da participação no Liverpool Sound Festival em 2017 e de turnês por clubes no Reino Unido e Berlim, o Swiimers confirmou seu potencial no mercado internacional. O single "Erika", lançado antecipadamente em setembro deste ano, foi elogiado por webzines musicais da Polônia, Canadá e outros países, e a turnê programada para novembro na Tailândia e no Japão também gera grande expectativa localmente. A expansão do Swiimers também pode ser explicada genericamente. Começando com a primeira faixa "Beautiful Days", com a sensibilidade lânguida do bedroom pop, passando por "MOMMY", um guitar pop vibrante; "Neon Blue", que remete ao início da cena indie coreana; "Ice & Fire", que agradaria aos fãs de post-rock tradicional; "Gravity", criada como música de casamento; até "Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis", que contém uma homenagem às lendas do shoegaze, este álbum contém músicas multicoloridas como um conjunto de presentes variado. Embora tenha passado muito tempo entre o EP e o álbum completo, as atividades continuaram constantes com o lançamento de singles como "Even If I Don't Believe in Eternity" (2018), "Knight Verse" (2022) e "Winter Resolution" (2022). A partir de 2024, 9 (= sou eu...), que até então participava apenas como criador e produtor, entrou como guitarrista, reorganizando todo o som ao vivo e consolidando a base de atividades, como praticar a performance de palco em shows regulares em clubes de Hongdae. Agora, a preparação para se expandir para o mundo está concluída. / 9 (Song Jae Kyung) [Swiimers] MQ CHO Jang Sun Woong Jay Song [Tracks] 01.

Produtor Executivo 스위머스 Swiimers28:T3993,Первый полноформатный альбом Swiimers [Swiimers High] В те времена Зимними днями мы просто встречались, чтобы поболтать, поплакать, напиться, расстаться и тут же встретиться снова. Времени почему-то было в избытке, и даже не веря в вечность, мы чувствовали, что каждый день уже был вечностью. Мы долго смаковали то, что исчезает быстро, подобно рассеивающемуся дыханию или стекающему вину. Мы были настолько отчаяны, что даже мимолетности было недостаточно. Первый полноформатный альбом группы Swiimers [SWIIMERS HIGH] словно в сновидении возвращает нас в те забытые зимние дни. Даже спустя 10 лет после первого сингла «Polaris» (2015), Swiimers по-прежнему естественно пребывают в «моменте», словно в плавном плавании. Альбом наполнили 12 треков, выкованных из попыток удержать утекающее время. Моменты дрейфа, испарения, мерцания и обрушения были захвачены и развернуты с помощью плотного гитарного шума и шепчущих голосов. Даже когда песни заполняет головокружительный и пышный, а порой и опасный звук, похожий на калейдоскоп, тревоги не чувствуется. Возможно, это благодаря отточенному мастерству группы. К основателям группы — лидеру Чо Мин Гёну (гитара, вокал) и Чан Сон Уну (барабаны) — в качестве нового участника присоединился Сон Джэ Гён (гитара, продюсер). Ранее выпущенные синглы, составившие «трилогию обещаний» — «Даже если не верить в вечности», «Knight Verse» и «Winter Resolution» — стали каркасом альбома, а пространство между ними заполнили вещи, которые прекрасны именно потому, что не вечны. Так начинается и первая композиция «Прекрасные времена». Прошлое, призванное спустя долгое скитание, может совсем не приносить утешения, но оно неизбежно прекрасно. В песне «Gravity (Якорь)» авторы пытаются закрепить, словно якорем, «сейчас», где «летают бабочки и льется дождь из цветов», но которое не может длиться вечно, а в «Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis» вместо того, чтобы бросить якорь в моменте, выбирают стать просто текущей волной. Разумеется, желание остаться в ускользающей красоте часто приводит к изнеможению. Второй трек и заглавная песня «MOMMY» обнимает сердце, желающее освободиться «от бессильного и бесполезного тела», говоря: «Ты не виноват». Нежная мелодия окутывает тяжелое отчаяние. Это глубокое, переполняющее утешение. Среди плавания сквозь рассыпающееся время неожиданно привлекает внимание песня «Neon Blue». В ней звучит низкий голос, который редко можно было услышать у Swiimers. Он сияет, как неон, и греет, как лампа накаливания. Последний трек, давший название альбому, «SWIIMERS HIGH» — это настоящий праздник мгновения. Он заставляет мечтать о высоте без высоты, о глубине неведомой глубины, а возможно, о бесконечном плавании в самой вечности. Прослушав все 12 песен, чувствуешь, как тело и душа становятся более чувствительными. Хорошо ли это? Точно не знаю, но это наверняка поможет жизни стать более захватывающей. Как пиво после плавания — освежает и кружит голову. / Журналист Ким Джи Хе, газета Kyunghyang Shinmun [Swiimers High] Заметка продюсера Нойз-рок с сердцем K-Pop, полностью готовый к выходу на мировую арену За последние 30 с лишним лет, проведенных на периферии корейской популярной музыки в качестве фаната, музыканта, продюсера, инженера, 제작자 (продюсера/организатора) и автора текстов, я наблюдал и переживал множество радостей, печалей, взлетов и падений. Общая черта музыкантов, которые остаются в памяти надолго, — это их «незаменимость». Работая над этим альбомом, я много думал о том, почему Swiimers должны существовать и почему это должны быть именно они. Тексты песен Swiimers очень красивы и завершены. Можно сказать, что они близки к чистой литературе или поэзии, поэтому они настолько многозначны и сложны, что скрытые смыслы можно найти, только если всмотреться очень внимательно. Я надеюсь, что дух, заложенный в «MOMMY», неизгладимая боль «Knight Verse», жизнь и раздумья молодежи нашего времени, описанные в «Neon Blue», и утешение, заключенное в «Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis», будут переданы в полной мере. Музыкальный спектр Swiimers широк, но звучание лаконично и последовательно. Фундамент звука Swiimers составляют сложные музыкальные вкусы Чо Мичи, который любит пост- и инди-рок направление (Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division, Slowdive и др.), но при этом является поклонником aespa и Crush, а также предпочтения Чан Сон Уна, предпочитающего прямолинейный рок в духе Acidman и Arctic Monkeys. Когда на освежающий ритм накладываются призрачные звуки гитарных эффекторов и синтезаторов, подобно мягкому одеялу, а внутрь уютно вплетаются поп-мелодии с яркими хуками и наполненный воздухом голос Чо Мичи, рождается звучание, которое можно описать только как «в стиле Swiimers». Как продюсер, я хотел бы определить это как «нойз-рок с сердцем K-Pop». Swiimers обладают прочной базой и широким потенциалом для расширения. Их дебютный EP, выпущенный в 2016 году, привлек скромное внимание не только внутри страны, но и за рубежом, а выступление на фестивале Liverpool Sound в 2017 году и тур по клубам Великобритании и Берлина подтвердили возможности группы на международном рынке. Сингл «Erika», выпущенный в сентябре этого года, получил положительные отзывы в музыкальных веб-журналах Польши, Канады и других стран, а предстоящий в ноябре тур по Таиланду и Японии также вызывает большое ожидание на местах. Масштабируемость Swiimers можно объяснить и с точки зрения жанров. Начиная с первой песни «Beautiful Days» в ленивом стиле bedroom pop, переходя к прыгучему гитар-попу «MOMMY», треку «Neon Blue», напоминающему раннюю корейскую инди-сцену, «Ice & Fire», которая порадует фанатов традиционного пост-рока, «Gravity», написанной как свадебная песня, и заканчивая «Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis», содержащей оммаж легендам шугейза — этот альбом представляет собой своего рода подарочный набор из разноцветной музыки. Хотя с момента выхода EP до полноценного альбома прошло много времени, деятельность группы продолжалась непрерывно с выпуском синглов «Even if I don't believe in eternity» (2018), «Knight Verse» (2022) и «Winter Resolution» (2022). С 2024 года 9 (=это я...), который до этого участвовал только в качестве создателя и продюсера, присоединился к группе как гитарист, что позволило перенастроить общее живое звучание и укрепить базу для деятельности, в том числе через регулярные выступления в клубах Хондэ для отработки сценического мастерства. Теперь они полностью готовы выйти на мировую арену. / 9 (Сон Джэ Гён) [Swiimers] Чо Мичи MQ CHO Чан Сон Ун Jang Sun Woong Сон Джэ Гён Jay Song [Треки] 01.

แล้วก็แยกย้ายกันไป ก่อนจะกลับมาพบกันใหม่ในเวลาอันรวดเร็ว เวลาช่างล้นเหลืออย่างประหลาด จนแม้จะไม่เชื่อในนิรันดร์ แต่ทุกๆ วันกลับรู้สึกราวกับเป็นนิรันดร์ เราดื่มด่ำกับสิ่งต่างๆ ที่เลือนหายไปอย่างรวดเร็ว เช่นเดียวกับลมหายใจที่กลายเป็นไอหรือเหล้าที่ไหลริน เพราะความโหยหาที่รุนแรง แม้จะเป็นเพียงชั่วขณะก็ไม่รู้สึกเสียดาย อัลบั้มเต็มชุดแรก [SWIIMERS HIGH] ของวง Swiimers นำพาวันในฤดูหนาวที่ถูกลืมเลือนนั้นกลับมาให้เราอีกครั้งราวกับความฝัน แม้เวลาจะผ่านไป 10 ปีหลังจากซิงเกิลแรก ‘Polaris’ (2015) แต่ Swiimers ยังคงดำดิ่งอยู่บน ‘ชั่วขณะ’ อย่างเป็นธรรมชาติ เพลงทั้ง 12 เพลงที่ถูกเจียระไนจากการหยุดเวลาที่ไหลผ่านได้เติมเต็มอัลบั้มนี้ พวกเขาจับเอาชั่วขณะที่ล่องลอย ระเหยหาย กะพริบไหว และพรั่งพรู มาคลี่กางออกด้วยเสียงกีตาร์นอยส์ที่หนาแน่นและเสียงกระซิบ แม้เสียงที่สับสนและหรูหราดั่งกล้องสลับลาย และบางครั้งก็ดูเปราะบางจะเติมเต็มบทเพลง แต่กลับไม่รู้สึกถึงความกังวล อาจเป็นเพราะฝีมือที่สุกงอมของวง นอกจากลีดเดอร์ โจ มินคยอง (กีตาร์·ร้องนำ) และ จาง ซอนอุง (กลอง) ซึ่งเป็นสมาชิกดั้งเดิมแล้ว ยังมี ซง แจคยอง (กีตาร์·โปรดิวเซอร์) เข้ามาร่วมเป็นสมาชิกใหม่ ซิงเกิลที่ปล่อยออกมาก่อนหน้าซึ่งประกอบกันเป็น ‘ไตรภาคแห่งคำสัญญา’ ได้แก่ ‘แม้จะไม่เชื่อในนิรันดร์’, ‘Knight Verse’ และ ‘Winter Resolution’ ได้กลายเป็นโครงสร้างของอัลบั้ม และสิ่งต่างๆ ที่งดงามราวกับนิรันดร์เพราะมันไม่คงอยู่ตลอดไปได้เข้ามาเติมเต็มช่องว่างนั้น เริ่มตั้งแต่เพลงแรก ‘วันเวลาที่งดงาม’ วันวานที่ถูกเรียกคืนมาท่ามกลางการล่องลอยอันยาวนาน แม้จะไม่สามารถปลอบประโลมใจได้เลย แต่ก็งดงามอย่างเลี่ยงไม่ได้ เพลง ‘Gravity (สมอ)’ พยายามผูกมัด ‘ตอนนี้’ ที่ “ผีเสื้อบินว่อนและฝนดอกไม้โปรยปราย” แต่ไม่สามารถคงอยู่ตลอดไปให้เหมือนกับสมอ ส่วนในเพลง ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’ แทนที่จะหยุดนิ่งในชั่วขณะ พวกเขาเลือกที่จะเป็นเพียงเกลียวคลื่นที่ไหลไป แน่นอนว่า ความปรารถนาที่จะพำนักอยู่ในความงามที่ระเหยหายไปในไม่ช้ามักจะทำให้เหนื่อยล้า เพลงที่สองซึ่งเป็นเพลงโปรโมท ‘MOMMY’ โอบกอดหัวใจที่อยากจะหลุดพ้น “จากร่างกายที่ไร้ความสามารถและไร้ประโยชน์” พร้อมบอกว่า “ไม่ใช่ความผิดของเธอ” ท่วงทำนองที่อ่อนโยนโอบกอดความสิ้นหวังที่แสนเหนื่อยล้า เป็นการปลอบประโลมที่ทำให้หัวใจพองโต ท่ามกลางการล่องเรือผ่านเวลาที่แตกสลาย เพลงที่ดึงดูดหูอย่างไม่คาดคิดคือ ‘Neon Blue’ ซึ่งเป็นเสียงต่ำที่หาฟังได้ยากจาก Swiimers มันส่องสว่างราวกับไฟนีออนและอบอุ่นราวกับหลอดไฟไส้ เพลงสุดท้ายซึ่งเป็นชื่ออัลบั้ม ‘SWIIMERS HIGH’ คือเทศกาลแห่งชั่วขณะอย่างแท้จริง มันทำให้ฝันถึงความสูงที่ไม่มีความสูง ความลึกที่ไม่อาจหยั่งถึง หรือบางทีอาจเป็นการว่ายวนอย่างไม่สิ้นสุดในนิรันดร์ เมื่อผ่านทั้ง 12 เพลงไปแล้ว ร่างกายและจิตใจกลับรู้สึกอ่อนไหวอย่างบอกไม่ถูก ไม่รู้ว่าเป็นเรื่องดีหรือไม่ แต่คงช่วยให้ชีวิตตื่นเต้นขึ้นกว่าตอนนี้ มันทั้งสดชื่นและมึนงง เหมือนกับเบียร์ที่ดื่มหลังจากการว่ายน้ำ / นักข่าว คิม จีฮเย จากหนังสือพิมพ์ Kyunghyang [Swiimers High] Producer's Note Noise Rock ที่มีหัวใจเป็น K-Pop พร้อมแล้วที่จะก้าวสู่ระดับโลก ตลอด 30 กว่าปีที่ผ่านมาในฐานะแฟนเพลง นักดนตรี โปรดิวเซอร์ วิศวกรเสียง ผู้ผลิต และนักเขียนเนื้อเพลง ซึ่งได้ร่อนเร่ไปตามชายขอบของวงการเพลงป๊อปเกาหลี และได้เห็นรวมถึงสัมผัสกับความสุข ความโศก ความรุ่งเรือง และความตกต่ำมามากมาย สิ่งหนึ่งที่เป็นลักษณะร่วมของนักดนตรีที่คงอยู่ได้ยาวนานคือ ‘ความไม่สามารถทดแทนได้’ ในขณะที่สร้างอัลบั้มนี้ ผมคิดอย่างมากเกี่ยวกับเหตุผลที่ Swiimers ต้องมีอยู่ และเหตุผลที่ว่าทำไมต้องเป็น Swiimers เท่านั้น เนื้อเพลงของ Swiimers นั้นงดงามและมีความสมบูรณ์สูงมาก อาจกล่าวได้ว่าใกล้เคียงกับวรรณกรรมบริสุทธิ์หรือบทกวี ซึ่งมีความหมายโดยนัยและยากในระดับหนึ่ง จึงต้องพิจารณาอย่างถี่ถ้วนจึงจะพบความหมายที่ซ่อนอยู่ ผมหวังว่าจิตวิญญาณบางอย่างใน ‘MOMMY’, ความเจ็บปวดที่ลบไม่ออกใน ‘Knight Verse’, ชีวิตและความคิดคำนึงของวัยรุ่นในยุคนี้ที่ ‘Neon Blue’ วาดไว้ และการปลอบประโลมที่บรรจุอยู่ใน ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’ จะส่งไปถึงผู้ฟังได้อย่างครบถ้วน สเปกตรัมทางดนตรีของ Swiimers นั้นกว้างขวาง แต่ซาวด์กลับเรียบง่ายและมีความสอดคล้องกัน รสนิยมทางดนตรีที่หลากหลายของ Cho Michi ผู้ชื่นชอบแนว Post/Indie Rock อย่าง Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division และ Slowdive แต่ในขณะเดียวกันก็เป็นแฟนคลับของ aespa และ Crush ผสมผสานกับรสนิยมของ Jang Sun Woong ที่ชื่นชอบร็อกแบบตรงไปตรงมาอย่าง Acidman และ Arctic Monkeys จนกลายเป็นรากฐานของซาวด์แบบ Swiimers เสียงที่เหมือนดั่งความฝันซึ่งสร้างสรรค์โดยกีตาร์เอฟเฟกต์และซินธิไซเซอร์ทับซ้อนกันเหมือนผ้าห่มนุ่มๆ บนจังหวะที่สดใส เมื่อรวมกับเมโลดี้สไตล์ป๊อปที่มีท่อนฮุคโดดเด่น และเสียงร้องที่เต็มไปด้วยลม (Air) ของ Cho Michi ที่ฝังตัวอยู่อย่างอบอุ่นภายในนั้น ก็กลายเป็นซาวด์ที่อธิบายได้เพียงคำเดียวว่า ‘นี่แหละคือ Swiimers’ ในฐานะโปรดิวเซอร์ ผมอยากนิยามว่ามันคือ ‘Noise Rock ที่มีหัวใจเป็น K-Pop’ Swiimers มีรากฐานที่มั่นคงและมีความสามารถในการขยายตัวที่กว้างขวาง EP เดบิวต์ที่ปล่อยในปี 2016 ได้รับความสนใจเล็กน้อยไม่เพียงแต่ในเกาหลีแต่ยังรวมถึงในต่างประเทศ และผ่านการแสดงใน Liverpool Sound Festival ปี 2017 รวมถึงทัวร์คลับในอังกฤษและเบอร์ลิน ทำให้ Swiimers ได้ยืนยันถึงความเป็นไปได้ในตลาดต่างประเทศ ซิงเกิล ‘Erika’ ที่ปล่อยออกมาก่อนในปีนี้เมื่อเดือนกันยายน ได้รับคำชมจากเว็บแมกกาซีนดนตรีในโปแลนด์ แคนาดา และที่อื่นๆ รวมถึงทัวร์ในไทยและญี่ปุ่นที่กำหนดไว้ในเดือนพฤศจิกายนก็ได้รับความคาดหวังอย่างมากในท้องถิ่น ความสามารถในการขยายตัวของ Swiimers สามารถอธิบายได้ในเชิงแนวเพลงเช่นกัน เริ่มตั้งแต่เพลงแรก ‘Beautiful Days’ ที่มีกลิ่นอาย Bedroom Pop อันเฉื่อยชา, ‘MOMMY’ ซึ่งเป็นกีตาร์ป๊อปที่สดใส, ‘Neon Blue’ ที่ชวนให้นึกถึงอินดี้ซีนยุคแรกของเกาหลี, ‘Ice & Fire’ ที่แฟนเพลง Post-rock ขนานแท้ต้องชื่นชอบ, ‘Gravity’ ที่ถูกสร้างขึ้นเพื่อเป็นเพลงฉลองมงคลสมรส ไปจนถึง ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’ ที่บรรจุการคารวะต่อตำนาน Shoegazing อัลบั้มนี้จึงรวบรวมดนตรีหลากสีสันไว้ราวกับชุดของขวัญรวมมิตร แม้เวลาจะผ่านไปนานนับตั้งแต่ EP จนถึงอัลบั้มเต็ม แต่กิจกรรมต่างๆ ยังคงดำเนินไปอย่างต่อเนื่อง เช่น การปล่อยซิงเกิล ‘Even if I don’t believe in eternity’ (2018), ‘Knight Verse’ (2022) และ ‘Winter Resolution’ (2022) และตั้งแต่ปี 2024 เป็นต้นมา 9 (ซึ่งก็คือผมเอง...) ที่เคยมีส่วนร่วมในฐานะผู้สร้างและโปรดิวเซอร์เท่านั้น ได้เข้ามาเป็นสมาชิกตำแหน่งกีตาร์ เพื่อปรับปรุงซาวด์การแสดงสดโดยรวม และสร้างรากฐานการทำกิจกรรม เช่น การฝึกฝนทักษะบนเวทีผ่านการแสดงประจำที่คลับในย่านฮงแด ตอนนี้พวกเขาพร้อมแล้วที่จะก้าวออกไปสู่ระดับโลก / 9 (Song Jae Kyung) [Swiimers] Cho Michi MQ CHO Jang Sun Woong Song

Vaqt g'alati tarzda juda ko'p edi, hatto abadiyatga ishonmasak ham, har bir kun go'yo abadiyatdek edi. Tarqalayotgan nafaslar yoki oqayotgan sharab kabi tezda g'oyib bo'ladigan narsalarni uzoq vaqt davomida his qildik. Shunchalik chorasiz edikki, hatto bir lahza bo'lsa ham afsuslanmadik. Bend Swiimers'ning birinchi to'liq albomi [SWIIMERS HIGH] unutilgan o'sha qish kunlarini xuddi tushdagidek qaytarib beradi. Birinchi singl ‘Polaris’(2015)dan keyin 10 yil o'tgan bo'lsa-da, Swiimers hali ham suzayotgandek tabiiy ravishda ‘lahzalar’ ustida turibdi. Oqayotgan vaqtni tutib olib charxlangan 12 ta qo'shiq albomni to'ldirdi. Adashgan, uchib ketgan, miltillagan va to'kilgan lahzalarni tutib, qalin gitara shovqini va pichirlagan ovozlar bilan namoyon etdi. Kaleydoskop kabi boshni aylantiruvchi va yorqin, ba'zan xavfli eshitiladigan tovushlar qo'shiqlarni to'ldirsa-da, hech qanday bezovorlik sezilmaydi. Bu bendning yetilgan mahorati tufaylimi. Asosiy a'zolar bo'lgan yetakchi Jo Min-kyung (gitara·vokal) va Jang Sun-woong (baraban)ga qo'shimcha ravishda Song Jae-kyung (gitara·prodyuser) yangi a'zo sifatida qo'shildi. ‘Abadiyatga ishonmasak ham’ va ‘Knight Verse’, ‘Winter Resolution’gacha bo'lgan, ‘va'da trilogiyasi’ni tashkil etgan avvalgi singllar albomning asosi bo'lib, abadiy bo'lmagani uchun abadiyatdek go'zal bo'lgan narsalar uning orasini to'ldiradi. Birinchi qo'shiq ‘Go'zal paytlar'dan boshlab shunday. Uzun-uzun adashishlar orasida chaqirilgan o'tmish paytlari hech qanday tasalli bermasa ham, baribir go'zal. ‘Gravity(Langar)’da “kapalaklar uchib yurgan va gullar yomg'irdek yog'ayotgan”, ammo abadiy bo'la olmaydigan ‘hozirgi lahza’ni langardek bog'lab qo'yishga harakat qilinadi, ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’da esa lahzaga yopishib qolish o'rniga, shunchaki oqayotgan to'lqin bo'lish yo'li tanlanadi. Tabiiy ravishda, tezda uchib ketadigan go'zallikda qolish istagi ko'pincha charchaydi. Ikkinchi trek va sarlavha qo'shig'i ‘MOMMY’ “ojiz va foydasiz tana”dan uzoqlashmoqchi bo'lgan qalblarni “bu sening aybing emas” deb quchoqlaydi. Og'ir umidsizlikni mayin ohanglar quchoqlaydi. Bu juda kuchli tasallidir. Parchalangan vaqtlar orasida sayohat qilayotganda kutilmaganda e'tiborni tortadigan qo'shiq ‘Neon Blue’dir. Bu Swiimers'dan eshitish qiyin bo'lgan past ovozdir. Neon kabi yorqin va cho'g' lampasi kabi iliq. Oxirgi qo'shiq va albom nomi bo'lgan ‘SWIIMERS HIGH’ esa haqiqiy lahzalar bayramidir. Balandligi yo'q balandlik, chuqurligi noma'lum chuqurlik, ehtimol abadiyat ichidagi cheksiz suzishni orzu qildiradi. 12 ta qo'shiqni tinglab tugatgach, qandaydir tana va qalb sezgir bo'lib qoladi. Bu yaxshimi? Aniq bilmasak-da, hayot hozirgidan ko'ra hayajonliroq bo'lishiga yordam beradi. Suzishdan keyin ichiladigan pivo kabi, salqin va boshni aylantiruvchi. / Kyunghyang Shinmun muxbiri Kim Ji-hye [Swiimers High] Producer's Note K-Pop yuragiga ega Noise Rock, dunyoga chiqishga tayyor Fan, musiqachi, prodyuser, muhandis, ishlab chiqaruvchi va shoir sifatida Koreya ommaviy musiqasi olamining chekkalarida kezgan o'tgan 30 yil davomida ko'plab quvonch va g'amlar, yuksalish va tanazzullarga guvoh bo'lganimdan kelib chiqib aytishim mumkinki, uzoq vaqt qoladigan musiqachilarning umumiy xususiyati — bu ‘almashmaslik’dir. Ushbu albomni yaratish jarayonida Swiimers bo'lishi kerak bo'lgan sabablar, nima uchun aynan Swiimers bo'lishi kerakligi haqida ko'p o'yladim. Swiimers'ning qo'shiq matnlari juda go'zal va mukammal. Ehtimol, ularni sof adabiyot yoki she'riyatga yaqin deb atash mumkin, shuning uchun ular juda ramziy va qiyin bo'lib, yashirin ma'nolarni topish uchun diqqat bilan ko'rib chiqish kerak. ‘MOMMY‘ga singgan ma'lum bir ruh, ’Knight Verse‘ning o'chmas og'riqlari, ‘Neon Blue' tasvirlagan ushbu davr yoshlarining hayoti va musohabalari, ’Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis'ga joylangan tasallilar to'liq yetib borishini xohlayman. Swiimers'ning musiqiy spektri keng, ammo tovushlari sodda va izchil. Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division, Slowdive kabi post/indie-rok yo'nalishlarini tinglashni yoqtiradigan, ammo aslida aespa va Crush'ning muxlisi bo'lgan Jo Mi-chi'ning murakkab musiqiy didi va Acidman, Arctic Monkeys kabi to'g'ridan-to'g'ri rokni yoqtiradigan Jang Sun-woong'ning didi Swiimers tovushlarining poydevorini tashkil etadi. Yorqin ritmlar ustiga gitara effektori va sintesizator yaratgan tushsimon tovushlar yumshoq ko'rpa kabi to'planadi va yorqin pop ohanglar hamda havo (Air)ga boy Jo Mi-chi'ning ovozi uning ichiga singib ketsa, faqat ‘Swiimers'ga xos’ deb tushuntirish mumkin bo'lgan tovush yaratiladi. Prodyuser sifatida buni ‘K-Pop yuragiga ega Noise Rock’ deb ta'riflamoqchiman. Swiimers mustahkam poydevor va keng kengayish imkoniyatiga ega. 2016-yilda chiqarilgan debiut EP albomi nafaqat Koreyada, balki xorijda ham ma'lum darajada e'tiborga uchragan edi va 2017-yildagi Liverpul Sound Festivalidagi ishtiroki hamda Buyuk Britaniya va Berlin klublaridagi turnlari orqali Swiimers xalqaro bozordagi imkoniyatlarini tasdiqladi. Shu yilning sentyabrida oldindan taqdim etilgan ‘Erika’ singli Polsha, Kanada va boshqa davlatlarning musiqa nashrlari tomonidan ijobiy baholandi va noyabrda rejalashtirilgan Tailand va Yaponiya turnlari ham mahalliy darajada katta kutishlar bilan kutilmoqda. Swiimers'ning kenyayish imkoniyatini janrlar orqali ham tushuntirish mumkin. Dangasa bed-room pop hissiyotidagi birinchi qo'shiq ‘Go'zal paytlar'dan boshlab, sho'x gitara-pop ‘MOMMY', Koreyaning ilk indie sahnalarini eslatuvchi ‘Neon Blue', an'anaviy post-rok muxlislari yoqtiradigan ’Ice & Fire', to'y marosimlari uchun yaratilgan ‘Gravity', shugazing afsonalariga omage bo'lgan ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’gacha — ushbu albomda rang-barang musiqalar xuddi sovg'alar to'plami kabi jamlangan. EP'dan keyin to'liq albomgacha ko'p vaqt o'tdi, ammo ‘Abadiyatga ishonmasak ham’(2018), ’Knight Verse'(2022), 'Winter Resolution'(2022) singllarining chiqarilishi kabi faoliyatlar doimiy davom etdi. 2024-yildan boshlab shu vaqtgacha faqat ishlab chiqaruvchi va prodyuser sifatida ishtirok etgan 9(=men...) gitara a'zosi sifatida qo'shilib, jonli ijro tovushlarini qayta shakllantirdi va Hongdae klublaridagi muntazam konsertlar orqali sahna tajribasini oshirib, faoliyat poydevorini mustahkamladi. Endi dunyoga chiqishga tayyorgarlik yakunlandi. / 9(Song Jae-kyung) [스위머스 Swiimers] 조미치 MQ CHO 장선웅 Jang Sun Woong 송재경 Jay Song [Tracks] 01. 아름다운 시절 작사/작곡 Lyrics and Composed by 조미치 MQ CHO 편곡/연주 Arranged and Performed by 스위머스 Swiimers 02.

Thời gian dư dả một cách kỳ lạ, đến mức dù không tin vào sự vĩnh cửu, nhưng mỗi ngày trôi qua đã tựa như một sự vĩnh hằng. Chúng tôi nhấm nháp thật lâu những điều chóng tan như hơi thở phả ra trong giá lạnh hay những ly rượu tuôn trào. Vì quá khát khao, nên dù chỉ là một khoảnh khắc ngắn ngủi cũng chẳng hề nuối tiếc. Album chính quy đầu tiên [SWIIMERS HIGH] của ban nhạc Swiimers đưa ta trở lại những ngày mùa đông đã quên ấy như một giấc mơ. Dù 10 năm đã trôi qua kể từ đĩa đơn đầu tiên ‘Polaris’ (2015), Swiimers vẫn hiện diện trên những ‘khoảnh khắc’ một cách tự nhiên như đang bơi lội. 12 ca khúc được mài giũa bằng cách níu giữ thời gian trôi đã lấp đầy album này. Những khoảnh khắc trôi dạt, bay hơi, nhấp nháy và đổ tràn được nắm bắt và trải ra bằng những tiếng guitar noise dày đặc cùng giọng hát thì thầm. Dù âm thanh choáng ngợp và rực rỡ như kính vạn hoa, đôi khi đầy chênh vênh, nhưng ta không hề cảm thấy bất an. Có lẽ là nhờ kỹ năng chín muồi của ban nhạc. Bên cạnh trưởng nhóm Jo Min-kyung (guitar, vocal) và Jang Seon-woong (drum) là những thành viên đời đầu, Song Jae-kyung (guitar, producer) đã gia nhập với tư cách thành viên mới. Những đĩa đơn đã phát hành trước đó tạo nên ‘bộ ba lời hứa’ gồm ‘Dù không tin vào sự vĩnh cửu’, ‘Knight Verse’ và ‘Winter Resolution’ trở thành khung xương cho album, và những điều đẹp đẽ vì không vĩnh cửu nên mới tựa như vĩnh hằng đã lấp đầy khoảng trống đó. Ngay từ ca khúc đầu tiên ‘Những ngày tươi đẹp’ đã như vậy. Những ngày xưa cũ được triệu hồi trên cuộc trôi dạt dài dằng dặc, dù chẳng thể an ủi được gì, nhưng vẫn đẹp một cách bất lực. ‘Gravity (Mỏ neo)’ cố gắng buộc chặt ‘hiện tại’ – nơi “bướm bay lượn và mưa hoa đổ xuống” nhưng không thể vĩnh cửu – như một chiếc mỏ neo, còn trong ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’, thay vì neo đậu vào khoảnh khắc, họ chọn trở thành những con sóng cứ thế trôi đi. Lẽ dĩ nhiên, trái tim muốn dừng chân nơi vẻ đẹp chóng tan thường dễ mệt mỏi. Ca khúc thứ hai và cũng là bài hát chủ đề ‘MOMMY’ ôm lấy trái tim muốn thoát khỏi “cơ thể bất tài và vô dụng” và vỗ về rằng “đó không phải lỗi của bạn”. Giai điệu dịu dàng ôm lấy nỗi tuyệt vọng nhọc nhằn. Đó là một sự an ủi nghẹn ngào. Giữa cuộc hải trình xuyên qua thời gian vỡ vụn, ca khúc bất ngờ thu hút thính giác là ‘Neon Blue’. Đó là một giọng hát trầm mà hiếm khi nghe thấy ở Swiimers. Nó tỏa sáng như đèn neon và ấm áp như bóng đèn sợi đốt. Ca khúc cuối cùng và cũng là tên album ‘SWIIMERS HIGH’ thực sự là một lễ hội của khoảnh khắc. Một độ cao không có đỉnh, một độ sâu không biết đáy, có lẽ nó khiến ta mơ về một cuộc bơi lội vô tận trong sự vĩnh hằng. Sau khi đi qua hết 12 ca khúc, không hiểu sao cơ thể và tâm hồn trở nên nhạy cảm hơn. Liệu đó có phải điều tốt? Dù không biết rõ, nhưng nó sẽ giúp cuộc sống trở nên phấn khích hơn hiện tại. Giống như ly bia uống sau khi bơi, vừa sảng khoái vừa choáng váng. / Phóng viên Kim Ji-hye, báo Kyunghyang [Swiimers High] Producer's Note Noise Rock mang trái tim K-Pop, đã sẵn sàng vươn ra thế giới Trong suốt hơn 30 năm lang thang nơi rìa của nền âm nhạc đại chúng Hàn Quốc với tư cách là fan, nhạc sĩ, nhà sản xuất, kỹ sư, nhà chế tác và người viết lời, tôi đã chứng kiến và trải nghiệm nhiều cung bậc hỉ nộ ái lạc cũng như sự hưng thịnh và suy tàn. Đặc điểm chung của những nhạc sĩ lưu danh lâu dài chính là ‘tính không thể thay thế’. Khi thực hiện album lần này, tôi đã suy nghĩ rất nhiều về lý do Swiimers cần tồn tại, lý do tại sao không thể là ai khác ngoài Swiimers. Lời bài hát của Swiimers rất đẹp và có độ hoàn thiện cao. Có thể nói chúng gần với văn học thuần túy hay thơ ca, vì thế chúng mang tính hàm súc và khó hiểu, đòi hỏi người nghe phải quan sát kỹ mới tìm thấy những ý nghĩa ẩn giấu. Hy vọng rằng tinh thần gửi gắm trong ‘MOMMY’, nỗi đau không thể xóa nhòa của ‘Knight Verse’, cuộc đời và những suy tư của thanh xuân thời đại này trong ‘Neon Blue’, và sự an ủi chứa đựng trong ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’ sẽ được truyền tải một cách trọn vẹn. Phổ âm nhạc của Swiimers rộng nhưng âm thanh lại tinh giản và nhất quán. Nền tảng âm thanh của Swiimers được hình thành từ gu âm nhạc phức hợp của Jo Michi - người thích nghe các dòng Post/Indie Rock như Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division, Slowdive nhưng đồng thời cũng là fan của aespa và Crush, cùng với sở thích của Jang Sun Woong - người yêu thích chất Rock trực diện như Acidman hay Arctic Monkeys. Trên những nhịp điệu tươi mát, những âm thanh mộng mị tạo ra từ hiệu ứng guitar và synthesizer chồng lên nhau như một chiếc chăn bông mềm mại, và khi những giai điệu Pop bắt tai cùng giọng hát đầy hơi (Air) của Jo Michi vùi mình ấm áp trong đó, một âm thanh mà chỉ có thể mô tả là "đúng chất Swiimers" được hoàn thiện. Với tư cách là một nhà sản xuất, tôi muốn định nghĩa nó là "Noise Rock mang trái tim của K-Pop". Swiimers sở hữu nền tảng vững chắc và khả năng mở rộng rộng rãi. EP ra mắt năm 2016 không chỉ nhận được sự quan tâm nhỏ tại trong nước mà còn ở nước ngoài, và thông qua việc biểu diễn tại Liverpool Sound Festival năm 2017 cùng tour diễn tại các club ở Anh và Berlin, Swiimers đã xác nhận được tiềm năng tại thị trường quốc tế. Đĩa đơn "Erika" phát hành trước vào tháng 9 năm nay đã nhận được đánh giá tích cực từ các tạp chí âm nhạc tại Ba Lan, Canada và các tour diễn dự kiến tại Thái Lan, Nhật Bản vào tháng 11 cũng đang được mong đợi rất nhiều tại địa phương. Khả năng mở rộng của Swiimers cũng có thể được giải thích thông qua thể loại. Bắt đầu với "Beautiful Days" mang cảm xúc Bedroom Pop uể oải, đến "MOMMY" là bản Guitar Pop sôi động, "Neon Blue" gợi nhớ đến scene Indie trong nước thời kỳ đầu, "Ice & Fire" khiến những fan Post-rock chính thống hài lòng, "Gravity" được sáng tác làm bài hát chúc mừng đám cưới, cho đến "Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis" chứa đựng sự tôn kính đối với những huyền thoại Shoegazing; album lần này chứa đựng những bản nhạc đa sắc màu như một hộp quà tổng hợp. Dù một khoảng thời gian dài đã trôi qua từ EP cho đến album chính thức, nhưng các hoạt động vẫn tiếp diễn đều đặn với việc phát hành các đĩa đơn như "Even if I don't believe in eternity" (2018), "Knight Verse" (2022), "Winter Resolution" (2022). Từ năm 2024, 9 (= chính là tôi...) người trước đây chỉ tham gia với vai trò nhà sản xuất kiêm điều phối, đã gia nhập với tư cách thành viên chơi guitar để chỉnh đốn lại toàn bộ âm thanh live, đồng thời củng cố nền tảng hoạt động bằng cách rèn luyện cảm giác sân khấu thông qua các buổi biểu diễn định kỳ tại các club ở Hongdae. Giờ đây, mọi chuẩn bị để vươn ra thế giới đã hoàn tất. / 9 (Song Jae Kyung) [Swiimers] Jo Michi MQ CHO Jang Sun Woong Song Jae Kyung Jay Song [Tracks] 01.

Nhà sản xuất điều hành Executive Producer 스위머스 Swiimers2c:T266c,Swiimers 1st Full Album [Swiimers High] Noong panahong iyon Tuwing araw ng taglamig, tayo ay nagtatagpo lamang upang magkwentuhan, umiyak, at malasing, naghihiwalay, at agad ding muling nagtatagpo. Kakaiba ang daloy ng oras, tila sobra-sobra, kaya kahit hindi naniniwala sa kawalang-hanggan, ang bawat araw ay tila isang eternity na. Pinahalagahan ko nang matagal ang mga bagay na mabilis maglaho, tulad ng singaw ng hininga o ng alak na dumadaloy. Dahil sa sobrang pagkapit, kahit isang saglit lamang ay hindi nakapanghihinayang. Ang unang full album ng bandang Swiimers na [SWIIMERS HIGH] ay ibinabalik ang mga araw ng taglamig na iyon na tila isang panaginip. Kahit lumipas na ang 10 taon mula sa unang single na ‘Polaris’ (2015), ang Swiimers ay nananatili pa rin sa ‘sandali’ na tila natural na lumalangoy. Labindalawang kanta na hinubog mula sa pagpigil sa dumadaloy na oras ang pumupuno sa album. Ang mga sandaling napapadpad, naglalaho, kumukurap, at bumubuhos ay hinuli at ipinakita sa pamamagitan ng makapal na guitar noise at bumubulong na boses. Kahit na mapuno ang mga kanta ng tunog na nakahihilo at maringal tulad ng isang kaleidoscope, at kung minsan ay tila mapanganib, hindi nararamdaman ang pagkabalisa. Marahil ay dahil ito sa hinog na husay ng banda. Kasama ang mga orihinal na miyembro na si leader Jo Min-kyung (gitara·vocal) at Jang Sun-woong (drums), sumama rin si Song Jae-kyung (gitara·producer) bilang bagong miyembro. Ang mga naunang singles na bumubuo sa ‘Promise Trilogy’—mula sa ‘Kahit hindi maniwala sa kawalang-hanggan’ at ‘Knight Verse’, hanggang sa ‘Winter Resolution’—ang nagsilbing balangkas ng album, at ang mga bagay na maganda dahil hindi sila panghabambuhay ang pumupuno sa pagitan. Ganoon na rin sa unang kanta, ang ‘Beautiful Days’. Ang nakaraang panahon na naipatawag mula sa mahabang pagpapalutang ay nananatiling maganda, kahit na hindi ito nagbibigay ng sapat na pag-alo. Sa ‘Gravity (Anchor)’, sinusubukan nitong itali ang ‘ngayon’—kung saan “lumilipad ang mga paru-paro at bumubuhos ang ulan ng bulaklak,” ngunit hindi maaaring magtagal—tulad ng isang angkla, at sa ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’, pinili nitong maging isang dumadaloy na alon sa halip na huminto sa isang sandali. Siyempre, ang pagnanais na manatili sa kagandahang mabilis maglaho ay madalas na nakakapagod. Ang pangalawang track at title track na ‘MOMMY’ ay niyayakap ang pusong gustong humiwalay “mula sa katawang walang kakayahan at walang silbi” at sinasabing “hindi mo ito kasalanan.” Ang isang malambot na melodiya ang yumayakap sa mabigat na kawalan ng pag-asa. Ito ay isang nakakaantig na pag-alo. Sa gitna ng paglalayag sa pagitan ng nadudurog na oras, ang kantang hindi inaasahang kukuha ng atensyon ay ang ‘Neon Blue’. Ito ay isang mababang boses na bihirang marinig mula sa Swiimers. Kumikinang ito tulad ng neon at mainit tulad ng isang incandescent bulb. Ang huling kanta at pangalan din ng album, ang ‘SWIIMERS HIGH’, ay tunay na isang pagdiriwang ng sandali. Isang taas na walang hangganan, isang lalim na hindi masukat, marahil ay isang pangarap ng walang katapusang paglangoy sa loob ng kawalang-hanggan. Pagkatapos mapakinggan ang lahat ng 12 kanta, tila nagiging sensitibo ang katawan at isipan. Mabuti kaya ito? Hindi man sigurado, makakatulong ito upang maging mas kapana-panabik ang buhay kaysa ngayon. Tulad ng pag-inom ng beer pagkatapos lumangoy, ito ay presko at nakahihilo. / Reporter Kim Ji-hye ng Kyunghyang Shinmun [Swiimers High] Producer's Note Noise rock na may pusong K-Pop, handa na para lumabas sa mundo Sa nakalipas na 30 taon ng paglalakbay sa gilid ng Korean popular music bilang fan, musikero, producer, engineer, creator, at lyricist, nakita at naranasan ko ang maraming saya, lungkot, tagumpay, at pagbagsak. Ang karaniwang katangian ng mga musikero na nananatili nang matagal ay ang pagiging ‘hindi mapapalitan’. Habang ginagawa ang album na ito, marami akong naisip tungkol sa dahilan kung bakit dapat umiiral ang Swiimers, at kung bakit hindi maaaring ibang banda ang gumawa nito. Ang mga liriko ng Swiimers ay napakaganda at may mataas na kalidad. Maaari itong sabihing malapit sa purong panitikan o tula, kaya naman ito ay mapagpahulugan at mahirap, at kailangang suriin nang mabuti upang mahanap ang mga nakatagong kahulugan. Nais ko na ang espiritung nananahan sa ‘MOMMY’, ang hindi maburang sakit ng ‘Knight Verse’, ang buhay at kaisipan ng kabataan sa panahong ito na iginuguhit ng ‘Neon Blue’, at ang pag-alo na nakapaloob sa ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’ ay ganap na maiparating. Malawak ang music spectrum ng Swiimers ngunit ang tunog ay simple at consistent. Ang komplikadong panlasa sa musika ni Jo Mi-chi, na mahilig sa post/indie rock gaya ng Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division, at Slowdive, ngunit fan din pala ng aespa at Crush, kasama ang panlasa ni Jang Sun-woong na mahilig sa straight rock gaya ng Acidman at Arctic Monkeys, ang bumubuo sa pundasyon ng tunog ng Swiimers. Sa ibabaw ng isang preskong ritmo, ang mga tunog na tila panaginip na nililikha ng guitar effector at synthesizer ay nagpapatong-patong tulad ng isang malambot na kumot, at kapag ang pop-like na melodiya na may buhay na hook at ang boses ni Jo Mi-chi na puno ng hangin (Air) ay nakabaon nang komportable sa loob nito, nabubuo ang tunog na maaari lamang ilarawan bilang ‘parang Swiimers’. Bilang isang producer, nais ko itong ituring bilang ‘noise rock na may pusong K-Pop’. Ang Swiimers ay may matatag na pundasyon at malawak na potensyal sa pagpapalawak. Ang kanilang debut EP na inilabas noong 2016 ay nakakuha ng kaunting atensyon hindi lamang sa loob ng bansa kundi pati na rin sa ibang bansa, at sa pamamagitan ng paglahok sa Liverpool Sound Festival noong 2017 at mga club tour sa UK at Berlin, nakumpirma ng Swiimers ang kanilang potensyal sa pandaigdigang merkado. Ang single na ‘Erika’ na inilabas noong Setyembre ng taong ito ay nakatanggap ng papuri mula sa mga music webzine sa Poland, Canada, at iba pa, at ang nakatakdang tour sa Thailand at Japan sa Nobyembre ay inaabangan din nang husto doon. Ang pagpapalawak ng Swiimers ay maipaliliwanag din sa pamamagitan ng genre. Mula sa unang kanta na ‘Beautiful Days’ na may tamad na bedroom pop vibe, hanggang sa bouncy guitar pop na ‘MOMMY’, ang ‘Neon Blue’ na nagpapaalala sa unang panahon ng domestic indie scene, ang ‘Ice & Fire’ na magugustuhan ng mga tradisyunal na post-rock fans, ang ‘Gravity’ na ginawa bilang wedding song, hanggang sa ‘Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis’ na may pagpupugay sa mga shoegazing legend, ang album na ito ay naglalaman ng makukulay na musika na tila isang gift set. Maraming panahon ang lumipas mula sa EP hanggang sa full album, ngunit ang mga aktibidad ay patuloy na nagpatuloy sa pamamagitan ng paglalabas ng mga single gaya ng ‘Kahit hindi maniwala sa kawalang-hanggan’ (2018), ‘Knight Verse’ (2022), at ‘Winter Resolution’ (2022). Mula 2024, si 9 (=ako ito...) na dati ay lumalahok lamang bilang creator at producer ay pumasok bilang miyembro ng gitara upang ayusin ang pangkalahatang live sound, at pinatibay ang pundasyon ng kanilang aktibidad sa pamamagitan ng regular na pagtatanghal sa mga club sa Hongdae upang masanay sa entablado. Ngayon, tapos na ang paghahanda upang lumabas sa mundo. / 9(Song Jae-kyung) [스위머스 Swiimers] Jo Mi-chi MQ CHO Jang Sun Woong Song Jae-kyung Jay Song [Tracks] 01.

Executive Producer Swiimers2d:T22fb,Swiimers 正规一辑 [Swiimers High] 那个时节冬日里，我们只是地喧闹、哭泣、醉酒，相遇又分离，随即又再次相逢。时间诡异地充裕，即便不相信永恒，每一天也已像永恒一般。我们长久地品味着那些如散开的白气、流淌的酒液般迅速消逝的事物。因为太过迫切，即便只是刹那也不觉得可惜。乐队 Swiimers 的首张正规专辑 [SWIIMERS HIGH] 如梦境般地带回了那个被遗忘的冬日。即便在首支单曲《Polaris》(2015) 之后已流逝十年，Swiimers 依然像游泳般自然地伫立在“瞬间”之上。12首捕捉并打磨流逝时间的歌曲填满了这张专辑。他们捕捉那些漂流、挥发、闪烁、倾泻的瞬间，用厚重的吉他噪音和低语般的嗓音将其铺展开来。即便像万花筒般眩晕且华丽，时而危若累卵的声音填满歌曲，却感受不到不安。或许是得益于乐队成熟的技艺。除了原成员队长赵敏京（吉他·主唱）和张善雄（鼓手），宋在京（吉他·制作人）作为新成员加入。由《即便不相信永恒》、《Knight Verse》以及《Winter Resolution》构成的“约定三部曲”已发表单曲成为了专辑的骨架，而那些因无法永恒而像永恒般美丽的事物则填补了其间。从第一首歌《美丽的时节》起便是如此。在漫长的漂流中被召唤回的旧时光，即便完全无法带来慰藉，却也无可奈何地美丽着。《Gravity(锚)》试图像锚一样拴住“蝴蝶飞舞、花雨倾盆”但无法永恒的“现在”，而在《Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis》中，他们选择不再停泊于瞬间，而是成为奔流的波涛。理所当然地，想要停留在即将挥发的美好之中的心情经常感到疲惫。第二首曲目也是主打歌的《MOMMY》，对想要从“无能且无用的身体”中脱离的心灵轻声说着“不是你的错”并将其拥入怀中。温柔的旋律拥抱着沉重的绝望。这是令人心潮澎湃的慰藉。在穿梭于破碎时间之间的航行中，出人意料地吸引耳目的是《Neon Blue》。这是在 Swiimers 身上很难听到的低沉嗓音。像霓虹般闪耀，像白炽灯般温暖。最后一首歌同时也是专辑名称的《SWIIMERS HIGH》，简直就是一场瞬间的庆典。没有高度的高度，不知深浅的深度，让人梦见在永恒之中的无尽游泳。在听完这12首歌后，不知为何身心变得敏感起来。这是好事吗？虽然不完全确定，但它将有助于让生活比现在更加刺激。像游泳后喝下的啤酒一样，清爽且眩晕。 / 京乡新闻记者金智惠 [Swiimers High] Producer's Note 拥有 K-Pop 之心的噪音摇滚，准备好向世界延伸在过去30多年里，我以粉丝、音乐人、制作人、工程师、制作方、作词人的身份在韩国流行音乐界的边缘游走，目睹并经历了许多喜怒哀乐与兴衰荣辱。我发现能长久留下的音乐人的共同特征是“不可替代性”。在制作这张专辑时，我思考了很多关于 Swiimers 必须存在的理由，以及为什么非 Swiimers 不可的原因。Swiimers 的歌词非常美丽且完成度极高。可以说接近于纯文学或诗歌，正因如此，其含义含蓄且深奥，必须仔细审视才能发现隐藏其中的意义。希望《MOMMY》中寄托的精神、《Knight Verse》中无法抹去的痛楚、《Neon Blue》所描绘的这个时代青年的生活与思绪，以及《Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis》中所包含的慰藉，能够完整地传达给听众。 Swiimers 的音乐频谱虽然宽广，但声音简洁且具有一致性。其声音的基石是由 Cho Mi-chi 复杂的音乐口味（他热爱 Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Joy Division, Slowdive 等后摇/独立摇滚系，但实际上也是 aespa 和 Crush 的粉丝）以及 Jang Sun-woong 喜爱 Acidman, Arctic Monkeys 等直球摇滚的口味共同构成的。在清爽的节奏之上，吉他效果器和合成器营造出的梦幻之声像柔软的被子一样层层堆叠，而具有记忆点的流行旋律与 Cho Mi-chi 充满空气感的嗓音被温暖地包裹其中，最终完成了只能用“像 Swiimers”来形容的声音。作为制作人，我想将其定义为“拥有 K-Pop 之心的噪音摇滚”。 Swiimers 拥有坚实的基础和广泛的扩展性。2016年发行的首张 EP 不仅在韩国国内，在海外也获得了一定的关注；通过 2017 年参加利物浦声音节以及在英国、柏林的俱乐部巡演，Swiimers 确认了在海外市场的可能性。今年 9 月先行公开的单曲《Erika》得到了波兰、加拿大等地音乐网媒的好评，而计划于 11 月进行的泰国、日本巡演在当地也备受期待。 Swiimers 的扩展性在音乐类型上也能得到体现。从带有慵懒卧室流行（Bedroom Pop）感触的第一首歌《美好的时光》开始，到活泼的吉他流行《MOMMY》、让人联想到早期韩国独立音乐场景的《Neon Blue》、正统后摇迷会喜欢的《Ice & Fire》、作为婚礼祝歌创作的《Gravity》，以及包含对鞋帮摇滚（Shoegazing）传奇致敬之意的《Butterfly: Non Terra Sed Aquis》，这张专辑像综合礼盒一样地包含了五彩斑斓的音乐。虽然从 EP 到正规专辑经过了很长时间，但通过发行单曲《即使不相信永恒》(2018)、《Knight Verse》(2022)、《Winter Resolution》(2022) 等，活动一直在持续进行。从 2024 年起，此前仅作为制作人和监制参与的 9（也就是我...）加入了吉他成员，重新整顿了整体现场声音，并通过在弘大俱乐部的定期演出磨练舞台感，夯实了活动基础。现在，向世界伸展的准备已经完成。 / 9 (Song Jae-kyung) [Swiimers] Cho Mi-chi MQ CHO Jang Sun Woong Song Jae-kyung Jay Song [Tracks] 01. 美好的时光 (아름다운 시절) 作词/作曲 Lyrics and Composed by Cho Mi-chi MQ CHO 编曲/演奏 Arranged and Performed by Swiimers 02.
