扩别4年，Marihiko Hara & Polar M 带着美得让人窒息的4曲EP回归。 这2人组是长期合作以及巡演的伙伴，无奈疫情肆虐，从去年4月开始，他们大部份时间也都是留在家里。在这艰巨时刻，创作新曲成了绝佳的避难所。虽然身隔两地，不过他们互传音频与作品概念，不久这4曲EP就诞生了。 《Our Season》（我们的季节）是马来西亚独立音乐厂牌 mü-nest 推出『Music for Home』系列的第一弹。这个系列的概念主要是以音乐反映出在这不确定的时刻里居家生活的微妙心情与氛围。 2人精致的音乐给这系列做了个再适当不过的起点：它告诉了我们生活中不能被遗忘的喜悦与希望，即使是在最艰困的时刻。 。 EP里的4曲，优雅的钢琴配上触动人心的吉他，捕捉了他们在家细腻平静的生活，也带着随时做好准备再出发的期待。 「就像把能量储存在土里，等待下一个春天。」他们说。 在这艰巨时刻，我们都被逼到墙角，Marihiko Hara & Polar M 的音乐打造了一道窗口，给了我们想像的风景，告诉我们说我们的季节还会再次到来，再次带来生活中的喜悦。 4 years since their last album in 2016, Marihiko Hara & Polar M return with a breathtakingly beautiful 4-tracks EP. The duo has been travelling and working together a lot before the pandemic strike. However, since April this year, like many of us, they have been staying at home most of the time. During a challenging time like this, listening and composing new music has again become a sanctuary for them. Although physically separated, both started to share some musical sketches and ideas via file swapping. Before long, a brand new EP was born. This EP, entitled "Our Season", is the 1st instalment of the "Music for Home" series curated by mü-nest label - a series that focuses on home-listening music that reflects the mood and feelings of our daily life during this unprecedented period in pandemic. And what a great way to start the series, with the duo's exquisite music reminding us about joy and hope in life. These 4 tracks, crafted with the duo's signature elegant piano notes and heartfelt guitar lines, resemble the state of their minds during the pandemic period - delicate, quiet, but ready to rise whenever the time comes. "They are like the preserved energy in the soil, ready for the next spring," the duo added. The current challenging time may continue for a while. While we are leaning against the wall, Marihiko Hara & Polar M's music resembles a window, for us to see and imagine the landscapes beyond, and remind us that our season will come again, for us to share and cherish.
