Wool Stringsの楽曲が流れるNOSE art garageオンラインラジオ「根矢涼香の屋根裏部屋」での出会いをきっかけに、Wool Stringsと根矢涼香とのコラボレーションによるミニアルバムが制作されました。This mini-album, a collaboration between Wool Strings and Ryoka Neya, came about after they met through “Ryoka Neya's Attic,” the NOSE art garage online radio show that played Wool Strings' songs.
ラジオのオープニングをイメージして制作された"attic window"や"pale air"といった新曲のほか、ラジオでのオンエアのためにいくつかの楽器が差し替えられ、新しく生まれ変わったWool Strings最初期の楽曲なども収録されています。Alongside new songs such as “attic window” and “pale air,” which were created with the radio show's opening in mind, the album includes some of Wool Strings' earliest songs, reborn with several instruments replaced for their radio broadcast.
新緑の季節を思わせる本作のアートワークは、根矢涼香の手によるものです。The artwork, which brings to mind the season of fresh green leaves, is by Ryoka Neya.

じっとしていた部屋の中、外から差し込む光と草花の匂いに誘われて、埃をかぶっていた窓を開け放った。
雨粒を反射した朝に吹き抜ける初夏の風。
玄関へ降りるのも焦ったい私は、屋根を駆け降りて鳥になって駆けだした。
ゆっくりした歩幅が間隔を空けて次第に宙に浮いていく。
ふと後ろを振り向く。
なんだ、最初から一人じゃなかったのか。
あたたかな気持ちを引き連れて、季節を追いかけていく―
"attic plans"
水面に浮かんで心地のいい夢を見ているような、
幸せな思い出に包まれているような、
そんな音楽たちに、出逢えて幸せです。Shut in my still room, lured by the light slanting in from outside and the scent of grass and flowers, I threw open the dusty window.
An early-summer breeze blowing through a morning that glints with raindrops.
Too impatient to go down to the front door, I ran down the roof, became a bird, and dashed away.
My slow strides grow farther apart, and little by little I lift into the air.
I glance back.
Oh, so I was never alone, from the very start.
With a warm feeling in tow, I go chasing after the seasons―
Like floating on the water, dreaming a pleasant dream,
like being wrapped in happy memories,
I am happy to have met such music.
