この度、レーベル創立10周年を記念して、MIRのトリビュート＆コンピレーションアルバム『SMALL LIGHTS』を2015年12月27日に発売することが決定しました!

CALL AND RESPONSE RECORDSの初期からリリースを続け、ともに歩んできたバンドMIR。

『SMALL LIGHTS』は、レーベルの象徴ともいえるMIRの楽曲を彼らを愛してやまない17 組のアーティストにカバーして頂きました。

トリビュートというよりはむしろ、『MIR』というお題にそれぞれが応えるという、まさに大喜利のような【CALL AND RESPONSE】を体現した一枚に仕上がっています。

全アーティスト凄まじい熱量と、想像力で個性丸出しの大変濃厚な作品となりました!もちろんカバーされているMIRの新曲も収録されています！

本当に素晴らしい内容になったので早く皆様に届けたいです！今までずっとレーベルを支えて来て頂いた皆様、そして初めての方々にも是非、本アルバムを通してCALL AND RESPONSE RECORDSの過去・現在・未来を体感して頂きたいです！

NEW RELEASE! 経立 / Futtachi: Tane to Zenra (CAR-74)

Those who bought Call And Response's 2012 Dancing After 1AM compilation might remember Futtachi as the new project that Zibanchinka vocalist Iguz Souseki had just started. More recently, they made an appearance on our free Valentine's Day download where 21 bands covered Paranoid by Black Sabbath. Those brief glimpses of the band showed a bunch of musicians with a taste for psychedelia, but Tane to Zenra goes way further. The album is a single 30-minute track, composed of washes of kosmische sound held together by a throbbing, almost industrial rhythm. Futtachi have toured in Kyushu with Bo Ningen, but on the evidence of this, they're now taking psychedelia to deeper, more abstract extremes. We're putting out the album in collaboration with the band's own Baku no Yume Records label.

New releases from Call And Response this August + Jebiotto U.S. Tour news!

Coming out this month simultaneously on August 13th are two new albums by bands who debuted on the label as part of 2012's Dancing After 1AM compilation album.

First up is Jebiotto's Love Song Duet (CAR-76), the Tokyo synth-punk band's second mini-album and first with Call And Response. Jebiotto are currently just about to kick off a short U.S. East Coast tour with American mates Warm & Comfy.

Our second new release is Kagoshima psychedelic supergroup Futtachi's Tane to Zenra (CAR-74). Vocalist Iguz Souseki's previous band Zibanchinka released their album Hatsubai Chushi through Call And Response in 2011, racing through 15 tracks in a breakneck 28 minutes. Tane to Zenra, which we're releasing in co-operation with the band's own Baku no Yume Records, features a single track over a more stately 30 minutes.

Both Jebiotto and Futtachi will be appearing at our annual anniversary event at Higashi Koenji 20000V/Ni-man Den-atsu on Saturday September 27th, along with a huge cast of other bands from Tokyo and Kyushu. More details on that to follow.

Dancing After 1AM - Kyushu release tour January 2013

One of the notable features of the Dancing After 1AM compilation was that it was well supported by artists from Kyushu, with five bands in total from the westernmost of Japan's main islands contributing tracks.
