It follows in the footsteps of other collections of Japanese artists on Morr Music, such as yumbo, Andersens, and the »Minna Miteru« compilations. »Carpet Of Fallen Leaves« draws together songs from Eddie Marcon’s twenty-two-year history, including fragile, yet rich in melody material, collected from a prodigious run of limited edition, self-released CD-Rs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEddie Marcon is the project of Eddie Corman and Jules Marcon, who met through their involvement in Japan’s underground music scene. Eddie was a member of noise-rock duo Coa, while both Eddie and Marcon were part of psych-rock collective LSD-March. Forming in 2001, Eddie Marcon’s sound is markedly different from these groups, though they do, at times, share a sense of psychedelic dislocation, through the gentle, limpid pace of their songs. But with Eddie Marcon, melody and gentleness is at the music’s core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey’ve long marked out their own, unique territory within a worldwide community of psych-folk and folk-pop artists; sharing their music through a subterranean network of colleagues and friends, they count groups like The Pastels and The Notwist as their fans, and Eddie has collaborated with the likes of Shintaro Sakamoto, and Aki Tsuyuko (in Tondekebana, and with Marcon and Ippei Matsui in the quartet Wasurerogusa). Eddie Marcon have also recently worked with drummer Ikuro Takahashi, who’s played with groups such as Fushitsusha, Maher Shalal Hash Baz, and Nagisa Ni Te.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the songs on »Carpet Of Fallen Leaves«, Eddie Marcon’s songs are performed by Eddie on guitar, organ and vocals, and Marcon on bass; they’re variously joined by Takahashi, Yojiro Tatekawa (drums), Tomoko Kageyama (vibraphone), Yasuhisa Mizutani (flute), Madoka Asakura (vocals), and Ztom Motoyama (pedal steel). The arrangements are pared back to best serve the core of each song, and the playing is gorgeous – fluent but not showy; capable of great intricacy, but aware that simplicity is key to direct communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSongs like »Mayonaka No Ongaku« stretch their limbs languidly, the music shivering with beauty as guitar and cymbal drift across Eddie’s poised vocal delivery. »Tora To Lion« began as an improvisation, but it’s become a firm favourite of the group’s fans: as Eddie says, »it has become a very important song for us, to the extent that it can be said to be our representative song.«\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the most moving thing about »Carpet Of Fallen Leaves«, though, is the way it captures the subtle yet significant moments of everydayness that ask for our attention. »Shoujo«, a song for a beloved cat who passed away, possesses rare emotional resonance. »At the end of the song,« Eddie remembers, »I wanted to have her throat rumbling endlessly.« When the song was cut, a television voice appeared behind the purring, saying ›thank you‹. »For us, it felt like words from Poco-chan, and tears came to our eyes.«\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1        Amime = あみめ\u003cbr\u003eA2        Majan Sabaku = 麻雀砂漠\u003cbr\u003eA3        Kakurenbo = かくれんぼ\u003cbr\u003eA4        Nageki No Kame = 嘆きの亀\u003cbr\u003eA5        Closet = クローゼット\u003cbr\u003eB1        Slow Na Yume = スロウな夢\u003cbr\u003eB2        Paisley = ペイズリー\u003cbr\u003eB3        Hamon = 波紋\u003cbr\u003eB4        Mizu = 水\u003cbr\u003eB5        Tonderu = 飛んでる\u003cbr\u003eC1        Sayonara = さよなら\u003cbr\u003eC2        Mayonaka No Ongaku = 真夜中の音楽\u003cbr\u003eC3        Tora To Lion = とらとらいおん\u003cbr\u003eC4        New Season = 新しい場所\u003cbr\u003eC5        Saraukaze = さらうかぜ\u003cbr\u003eD1        Storobe = ストロボ\u003cbr\u003eD2        Koshin = 交信\u003cbr\u003eD3        Shoujo = 少女\u003cbr\u003eD4        Himawari Zekkyo = ひまわり絶叫\u003cbr\u003eD5        Itsunomanika Watashitachi = いつのまにかわたしたち\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1911567018\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/eddiemarcon.bandcamp.com\/album\/carpet-of-fallen-leaves\"\u003eCarpet Of Fallen Leaves by ゑでぃまぁこん　EDDIE MARCON　\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"All Night Flight Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56293929091454,"sku":"morr201-lp","price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/7755\/6791\/files\/IMG_2534.jpg?v=1753287171","url":"https:\/\/allnightflightrecords.com\/products\/eddie-marcon-%e3%82%91%e3%81%a7%e3%81%83%e3%81%be%e3%81%81%e3%81%93%e3%82%93-carpet-of-fallen-leaves-1","provider":"All Night Flight Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
