Split Works 呈现: cero

拥有夏夜晚风一般迷人声音的City Pop 代表名团。

融合放克、灵魂乐和R&B，cero将City pop变得更为精巧又令人情迷意乱。

来自东京的cero名字简称自Contemporary Exotic Rock Orchestra, 在他们的音乐中你能听到轻巧内敛的吉他、忽近忽远的迷离人声，以及让人琢磨不透的旋律走向和节奏变化。

cero是诸多日本乐队里最让人捉摸不透的可爱怪咖，在各种风格之间自由穿梭，难以定义。想象Grizzly Bear与日本传奇雷鬼乐队Fishmans摩擦生起的火焰，缭绕的烟雾中跳跃着迷人律动，就是我们听到的cero。

在2017年混凝草音乐节首秀后一年，cero再次回归中国。他们将在10月20日星期六在杭州MAO Livehouse，10月21日星期日在上海LOFAS，展开双城巡演。

cero由高城晶平（主唱/长笛）、荒内佑（键盘）和桥本翼（吉他）组成。他们与其他诸多助演乐手的合作，真的让他们的现场演出呈现出了一幅“交响乐团”般的迷人声像。

乐队在2004年成立之后，用多年的时间塑造出了独有的声音——糅合复杂的爵士乐与轻盈的放克，让indiepop潜入黑夜。这些元素使得他们2015年的专辑Obscure Ride赢得了主流听众们的青睐。在超人气团体SMAP推荐了乐队的歌曲 Summer Soul之后，cero获得了更广的关注，人气彻底突破了独立乐团的界限。

人气的上升绝不意味着对主流的妥协，Cero反而逆流而上，进行了更为大胆的音乐尝试。在2018年的新专辑Poly Life Multi Soul 中，他们吸收世界音乐养分，融入了更为复杂的节奏，无视规则，创造出了更为难以定义的美妙音乐。

身处热潮的Cero 每次演出都是一场醉人、愉快的聚会。在色彩满溢的秋日里，他们决定重返中国，再次唤醒消逝的夏日之魂。

Split Works presents: cero

One of the catchiest, breeziest bands you’ll hear.

Cero play chic, sophisticated Japanese “city pop” with a touch of funk, soul and RnB.

This Tokyo-based ‘Contemporary Exotic Orchestra’ is a warm daydream, with lovely understated guitar lines, catchy vocal harmonies that ebb and swell, and a backbeat that shapeshifts between polyrhythms and quirky time signatures.

A glorious addition to Japan’s tendency of throwing up some of music’s most surprising oddities, cero are hard to pin down stylistically: drifting incestuously across genres. To our ears, they’re somewhere next to the slow-burn of Grizzly Bear and the smoldering haze of Japanese reggae legends Fishmans. Add to that, a generous doze of danceable groove.

After a long-overdue China debut at Concrete & Grass 2017, they’re back for a two-city China tour.  Sat October 20 at Hangzhou’s MAO Livehouse. Sunday the 21^st in Shanghai’s LOFAS.

Cero are the trio of Shohei Takagi (vocals / flute)

Yu Arauchi (keys) and TsubasaHashimoto (guitar) with a rotating cast of performers and instrumentalists fleshing out the “orchestra” when playing live.

They formed in 2004, and in the years since have explored “nocturnal indie-pop, intricate jazz-pop and, on the 2015 album Obscure Ride that served as their breakthrough into the mainstream, laid-back funk.” The single ‘Summer Soul’ was championed by the massively popular boy band SMAP and cero smashed the “indie” glass ceiling into wider attention.

Success for cero, though, only meant more experimentation and not less. For 2018’s Poly Life Multi Soul, they’ve constructed topsy-turvy songs loaded up with polyrhythms and other musical techniques originating from around the globe.

They’re on a hot streak, and the latest incarnation of their live show is a joyous, danceable feast. Cero back in China. Two nights of Summer souls in autumn hues.
