SNL밴드라는 이름이 더 친숙한 그룹 커먼그라운드의 다섯 번째 신규 앨범 [Conspiracy]는 2017년 발매된 [Dance Republica]에 이어 4년 만에 찾아온 정규 앨범이다.
70, 80년대 풍의 레트로한 사운드를 영감으로 릴 테이프와 카세트테이프를 녹음 작업에 적극 활용하여 빈티지한 아날로그 입체감을 만들어내 실험적이면서도 개성 넘치는 사운드가 돋보인다.
이번 앨범 [Conspiracy]는 누군가의 규칙 속에서 깨어나와 진실 속의 나를 찾는다는 메시지와 당연하게 바라본 세상에 숨은 비밀에 대한 고찰을 담고 있으며, 타이틀곡 ‘지나보면’은 지나온 시간에 대한 미련은 버리고 오늘을 의미 있게 살아가자는 희망의 메시지를 담고 있다.
