In June, I wrote 10 or so lyrics, which I added to the five or so I wrote over the past two years. I wrote music for 12 of those lyrics, 11 of which I&#8217;ve put on the new album. Early on, I got attached to the title \u300c\u5065\u5fd8\u75c7\u300d (<em>Kenboushou<\/em>) because it means &quot;amnesia&quot; in Japanese. If Onitsuka Chihiro can title her album <em>Insomnia<\/em> &#8230;<br \/>\nI recorded one outtake, \u300c\u5149\u304c\u306a\u3044\u300d, which was a bit more in the style of <em>Revulsion<\/em> than any of the other new material. I may use it in a future project, or I may relegate it to a b-side or something. I&#8217;m saving three of the lyrics I wrote for another time. The music they call for doesn&#8217;t quite fit this album.<br \/>\nI didn&#8217;t set out to write in an alt-country kind of style, but when I wrote two songs in that mold, I figured it was sign. But I think it was the violin and cello that dictated how the writing turned out. I liked how they sounded, and I wanted to use those instruments as much as I could. This album is also the most guitar-driven of the Eponymous 4 works. There&#8217;s maybe an organ and piano on some tracks, but there&#8217;s an acoustic guitar on just about every track.<br \/>\nGiven the country sound of the songs, I probably shouldn&#8217;t use the Japanese titles I used for the lyrics, but I like the incongruity.<br \/>\nMost of all, I&#8217;m just glad there&#8217;s a new Eponymous 4 album recorded, because I was kind of getting tired of all the previous albums.<br \/>\nBy the way, this album is the first completely new material I&#8217;ve written. Nothing on this album was commandeered from an unfinished sketch or material from the archive. That&#8217;s kind of important to me because I don&#8217;t want to keep reworking things I wrote in the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m just glad there&#8217;s a new Eponymous 4 album recorded, because I was kind of getting tired of all the previous albums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-97","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4Bkir-1z","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
