Hi British Airways , you lost Garett’s guitar when we flew to Madrid from London on March 20th for our Spain tour. Look how happy he was with his guitar. Now he’s really sad, can you see that? Can you please find our guitar??

Sharp Pinsの新譜「Radio DDR」 Guided by Voicesと比較されているそうで、確かにLo-Fiな音質と綺麗なメロディの表裏一体さが共通しているが、12弦ギターによるアルペジオの目も眩むような煌めきが魅力で、The Byrds発祥なジャングルポップの印象が強い。メロディメイカーとしての水準が並外れて高い。

💿✨ Melhores Discos | Novo álbum do Sharp Pins, "Radio DDR" (2025) é tanto um diálogo nostálgico de Kai Slater com veteranos como The Beatles, Guided By Voices e Teenage Fanclub, como uma obra profundamente autoral e repleta de sentimentos. Leia: tinyurl.com/5cw7s57b
