about

“So It Goes” is a kind of shoegaze and dreampop sounds.
It sounds like a simple mid-tempo song, but this song with a little of architectural composition layering hazy voices and overdrive, volume pedal guitar phrases over saturated heavy drums and machine gun bass.
Also, the title of this song is taken from the text of "Slaughterhouse-Five" by Kurt Vonnegut, a favorite book of otom.

日本のミュージシャン、作曲家のotom(オトム)。
シューゲイザー、ドリームポップサウンドを中心に実験音楽、ドローン、エレクトロニック、ノイズ等の音楽を手掛けています。
2020年2月25日リリースの新曲"So It Goes"。シューゲイザー、ドリームポップな一見、ミドルテンポのシンプルな曲の様で色んな事を考えて作っています。
擦れたボーカルとコーラス、歪みとボリュームペダルのギターフレーズがサチュレート気味なドラムと強弱をなくしたマシンガンベースの上で展開。
またこの曲のタイトルはカート・ヴォネガット著の『スローターハウス5』の中のテキストより。

lyrics

さっきまでは全て消えてた
さっきまでは同じ風でいた

南へ行く日を風向きで選ぶ
僕はそれでも
時々辿るいつかの名残
忘れた振りして

さっきまではとても光ってた
さっきまでは陰る方にいた

南へ行く日を風向きで選ぶ
僕はこれでも
時々辿るいつかの名残
ここへ置いてくよ

あたりの景色が上ずっているの
こだまが不規則なリズムを刻む
戸惑いを歌う僕らは星屑
ためらいながらそう云うものさと笑う

願いは変えない
欲張りは分かるけど
