HIGHFeeL has announced that they will release the final works of Shota Yokoyama, who was both the guitarist of ADAMS as well as the founder of HIGHFeeL as a company.
The release exists out of four tracks that were never intended to be released together. “Melting”, “Trick” and “Oxeye Daisy” were part of an instrumental project, and “Down the Rules” was planned to be released as the first single of Shota’s solo pop album, which was planned for March 2016 before a short tour.
The final track is not mixed, but a raw recording of a guitar solo which was recorded less than 24 hours before Shota collapsed on the stage in Poland during a show of ADAMS.
The album will be released on November 30, 2017, exactly two years after his passing. Pre-orders have started on October 15 already as well.
The four main tracks of the album were mixed and validated by Shota himself, and while there are more recordings out there, HIGHFeeL has decided to not release them out of respect for Shota, who was also a perfectionist and wouldn’t release these materials in this state himself either.
