Abstract [ja]
90年代、日本でも一大ブームとなったスウェディッシュ・ポップシーンの中、デビューアルバム『No Sleep 'til Famous』からのシングル曲 "Monument of Me" でその存在を大きく知らしめたバンド The Merrymakers。続く2ndアルバム『Bubblegun』では Jellyfish の Andy Sturmer をプロデューサーに迎え "Saltwater Drinks" "Superstar" といったスマッシュヒットを連発。その後バンドは活動休止となるが、メンバーの David Myhr は PUFFY の "ハッピーバースデイ" "Boom Boom Beat" などの楽曲提供をはじめ、フジファブリックの4thアルバム『CHRONICLE』(ストックホルムにある David の所有スタジオ "monogram recordings" で録音)ではプロデューサーの一人として名を連ねるなど、日本の音楽シーンとのつながりも深い。また David 自身も2012年発表のアルバム『Soundshine』よりソロとしての活動をスタート。そして2018年、今や人気プロデューサーとして引っ張りだこの Brad Jones とタッグを組み、アメリカ・ナッシュビルで録音した2ndアルバム『Lucky Day』をリリース。今回そのアルバム発売に伴い、およそ7年ぶりとなる単独来日公演が実現。
