ENDLESS WAVE (feat. Emerson Kitamura)

A special session started with dub engineer Naoyuki Uchida in the remaining time after the recording of the 4th album "ENDLESS" was completed. While basking in the afterglow of the album production, it was as if they didn't want the time to end yet, and the song is filled with conversation through improvisation.

ENDLESS JAM

CADEJO, a three-piece jam band rooted in Black music, has established itself as a leading live band in the Korean indie scene. CADEJO's freestyle performances electrify audiences as they traverse a wide range of genres, including soul, funk, jazz, reggae, and dub.

The latest album, ENDLESS was produced in collaboration with Naoyuki Uchida, a renowned Japanese recording and live dub engineer known for his work with artists such as GEZAN, Kicell, LITTLE TEMPO, and OKI DUB AINU BAND. The album also features a guest appearance by legendary Japanese keyboardist Emerson Kitamura. The project symbolizes a new beginning born from the collaboration between Korea and Japan.

「人们在相处的过程中，理所当然地会为彼此带来各种各样的影响，但我们有时也因为这些影响，而承受了许多不必要的伤痛与压力。哪怕只是一个想法，或仅仅是在听我们的音乐时，希望你可以偶尔让自己从人与人之间的关系中解放，就像是踏上一段独自出发的旅程。」

                                                                                                                                                         ——CADEJO

                   

随着时间和资历的累积，受到愈多愈多国内外乐迷关注与喜爱的韩国独立乐团「CADEJO」，即使在当今全世界纷扰不断的情况下，仍然坚决地克服困难，维持着一股稳定成长的气势。新专辑《FREEBODY》一口气收录了19首新作，在这个写不到10首歌也能做一张专辑的年代，推出百分之百全新原创的双CD专辑，是很罕见的选择。实际上，CADEJO 在过去一年多以来，创作量远不仅于此。这19首新歌，是几经筛选，得以完整体现专辑概念的总和。

                     

受到疫情影响，大型公开演出机会锐减，许多音乐人因而利用空出的时间专注于创作。CADEJO 作为一个积极渴望与听众交流的乐团，在新专辑问世之前，已经透过社群平台直播和一些小型展演，公开了多首新作的雏形。专辑收录的录音室版本，仍保有 CADEJO 一贯的坚持，重视细节，拒绝反复，对于先前已经听过新歌的听众来说，想必能获得欣喜与满足；对喜爱第一张专辑《FREESUMMER》的乐迷而言，则可更充分地享受《FREEBODY》这张新专辑所带来的听觉扩展。

              

                  

《FREEBODY》作为《FREESUMMER》的延续，维持主题一贯性的同时，在编曲上更增添了稳重感，却也不因此失去柔软度。《FREEBODY》整张专辑，乍听之下仍以放克及R&B为基底，但巧妙地融合了爵士、摇滚、嘻哈等多种元素，使听者在意想不到的段落遇见出乎预料的节奏，或是在对某段旋律近乎熟稔之际，耳边又突然传来提振听觉的陌生声响。此外，若说《FREESUMMER》专属于夏天，《FREEBODY》则是四季皆宜，并且随著季节转换，听来感受也有所不同。

                          

突如其来的疫情，让许多人面临生活的困境，也积累下不少苦闷。CADEJO 希望借由《FREEBODY》这张新专辑，为人们带来些许慰藉与鼓舞，在聆听的过程中，暂时放下心中的负担，找回仅属于个人的悠闲、平静和幸福。
