这早已是一张公认的经典之作，如果说《the queen is dead》是有史以来最伟大的摇滚专辑还略微有点勉强的话，那它也一定是上世纪80年代最出色的音乐专辑。第一首专辑同名歌曲结尾的近三分钟的吉他独奏，紧张快速却又极富旋律感，Johnny Marr的吉他天赋在这展现的淋漓尽致。第二首《Frankly, Mr. Shankly》虽然旋律简单，却百听不厌，Morrissey的嗓音温暖亲切，似乎是一位大哥在向你绘声绘色的讲他的经历。《There is a light that never goes out》无疑是乐队最有名的单曲，歌曲的亮点依然是结尾那略带欢快的节奏旋律和悲伤的唱调，似乎史密斯早已看透了世俗，一番无奈的感慨和宣泄。
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第216位

Animal Collective is a musical collective originally from Baltimore, Maryland, currently based in New York City. Animal Collective consists of Avey Tare (David Portner), Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), Deakin, or Deacon as spelled on Strawberry Jam (Josh Dibb), and Geologist (Brian Weitz). Records released under the name Animal Collective may include contributions from any or all of these members; the lineup is not uniform. The band members met in school and started recording together in various forms of collaboration from a young age. Although the band is often classified as freak folk or noise pop, it is hard to define the Animal Collective sound as they often experiment with diverse styles and ideas from album to album. The group also runs the record label Paw Tracks on which they have released their own material as well that of other artists.
Merriweather Post Pavilion is the eighth studio album by Animal Collective, released on January 6, 2009. The album is named after the Columbia, Maryland venue of the same name.

來自英國倫敦的樂隊 The xx 用他們的首張專輯《xx》驚艷四座，開篇一曲《Intro》便以獨特的重覆結他 riff 奠定了專輯基調：幽靜而略帶哀愁的節拍，淡然且迷蒙飄忽的唱腔，再加上詩意盎然的詞句，為聽眾勾勒出一系列冷洌的畫面。《VCR》中由空靈清響的前奏漸入，淺唱愛情的甜蜜；而在《Heart Skipped a Beat》中則以增強了的節奏帶動聽者脈搏，以簡約風格彰顯複雜情緒。

Pitchfork、NME、Spin力挺纽约新人王第二张野心大作
青春无敌后庞克热血与放克、雷鬼、Ska元素完美结盟
大胆取样电气女伶M.I.A.名曲〈Hussel〉
第二张专辑《Contra》集结了Vampire Weekend许多音乐上的初体验：六分钟的〈Diplomat's Son〉是他们谱过最长的歌，还取样饶舌女歌手M.I.A.的口白；主唱Ezra Koenig也于〈California English〉首度替歌声添加Auto-Tune效果；〈Cousins〉则是初次录制于墨西哥的作品，沾染了当地热力，贝斯线宛如一名过动儿在街上裸奔。〈Giving Up The Gun〉更是乐团成军来最适合舞池的一曲。
以轻柔的手段融合放克、雷鬼与Ska，本质仍是层理紧密、洋溢着敏捷运动感的三分钟摇滚劲歌。青春可以无敌，也可以无用，然听见Ezra Koenig在〈White Sky〉里毫不扭捏地飙高假音纵情「啊呜」，Vampire Weekend肯定还会无敌好一阵子。

The long awaited release of the Brian Wilson and Beach Boys masterpiece, Smile Sessions. With the full participation of original Beach Boys Al Jardine, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson, Capitol/EMI has, for the first time, collected and compiled the band's legendary 1966-'67 sessions for the never-completed SMiLE album. Rolling Stone magazine recently called SMiLE the most famous unfinished album in rock & roll history."
In several sessions between the summer of 1966 and early 1967, The Beach Boys recorded a bounty of songs and drafts for an album, SMiLE, that was intended to follow the band's 1966 album, Pet Sounds. The master tapes were ultimately shelved, and The Beach Boys' SMiLE has never been released. Drawn from the original masters, SMiLE Sessions presents an in-depth overview of The Beach Boys' recording sessions for the enigmatic album, which has achieved legendary,mythical status for music fans around the world.
SMiLE Sessions' physical and digital configurations include an assembled collection of core session tracks, while the box set delves much deeper into the sessions, adding early song drafts, alternate takes, instrumental and vocals-only mixes, and studio chatter. SMiLE Sessions invites the listener into the studio to experience the album's creation, with producer, singer and bassist Brian Wilson's vision leading the way as he guides his fellow Beach Boys, singer Mike Love, drummer Dennis Wilson, lead guitarist Carl Wilson, rhythm guitarist Al Jardine, and newest member Bruce Johnston (who'd replaced Brian Wilson in the touring group during 1965), through the legendary sessions.
Artwork for all of the SMiLE Sessions' physical and digital configurations has been created with and inspired by Beat-Pop artist Frank Holmes' original 1967 LP sleeve art and booklet designs intended for the SMiLE album.

Lindsey Jordan’s voice rises and falls with electricity throughout Lush, her debut album as Snail Mail, spinning with bold excitement and new beginnings at every turn.

Throughout Lush, Jordan’s clear and powerful voice, acute sense of pacing, and razor-sharp writing cut through the chaos and messiness of growing up: the passing trends, the awkward house parties, the sick-to-your-stomach crushes and the heart wrenching breakups. Jordan’s most masterful skill is in crafting tension, working with muted melodrama that builds and never quite breaks, stretching out over moody rockers and soft-burning hooks, making for visceral slow-releases that stick under the skin.

Lush feels at times like an emotional rollercoaster, only fitting for Jordan’s explosive, dynamic personality. Growing up in Baltimore suburb Ellicot City, Jordan began her classical guitar training at age five, and a decade later wrote her first audacious songs as Snail Mail. Around that time, Jordan started frequenting local shows in Baltimore, where she formed close friendships within the local scene, the impetus for her to form a band. By the time she was sixteen, she had already released her debut EP, Habit, on local punk label Sister Polygon Records.

In the time that’s elapsed since Habit, Jordan has graduated high school, toured the country, opened for the likes of Girlpool and Waxahatchee as well as selling out her own headline shows, and participated in a round-table discussion for the New York Times about women in punk -- giving her time to reflect and refine her songwriting process by using tempered pacings and alternate tunings to create a jawdropping debut both thoughtful and cathartic. Recorded with producer Jake Aron and engineer Johnny Schenke, with contributions from touring bandmates drummer Ray Brown and bassist Alex Bass as well, Lush sounds cinematic, yet still perfectly homemade.

Kero Kero Bonito are a British indie pop band. Formed in London in 2011, the band consists of vocalist Sarah Midori Perry and producers and multi-instrumentalists Gus Lobban and Jamie Bulled.

《韦礼安:韦礼安(首张同名全创作专辑CD)》韦礼安，一个大家熟悉又有点陌生的名字，台湾素人歌唱比赛始祖级人物，华视《快乐星期天》校园歌喉战的总冠军，曾为张韶涵、范玮琪、刘若英、郭静写歌，自2007年开始在streetvoice上陆续发表，至今已超过200万人次高人气点阅率。拿下总冠军后，韦礼安选择蛰伏三年时间，埋首音乐创作，在全台各大Live House巡演共14场，场场爆满轰动。现在，韦礼安准备好了，歌迷们不用再慢慢等好音乐。韦礼安首张同名全创作专辑全面发行。

01 有没有：大时代暗恋心情的写照；台湾14场Live House巡回中，每场歌迷票选的“最感动情歌NO.1”。
02 两脚书橱的逃亡：从小到大都是依据别人的期待在前进：读书、考试、拿高分、上前面志愿的学校。但是自己真正的目标在哪里？我觉得必须去打破那堵单一价值观的高墙，所以选择叛逆的逃亡。也呼应自己想要去追求音乐的梦想，不想在继续考研究所，遵循一些既定的道路。
03 故事：搭捷运的时候得到灵感。主要想要表达的是一种人与人之间奇妙的缘份。另外，也带有一点对于现代都市人反思，那种互不关心、比较冷漠的心态，多少也有一点琢磨。
04 因为爱：高中三年级时，青春期的“荷尔蒙之歌”。发现“爱情的发生，就只是因为爱！”其实并没有一个实际的对象，只是感觉很多人在谈恋爱时，都喜欢问对方爱自己哪一点？可是有时爱，就是如此没有道理，不需要任何理由，很纯粹，不然怎么会有一见钟情，或两个差异很大的人可以在一起的故事呢？“因为爱”是目前我创作里，自认觉得“最纯粹”的情歌，我写的情歌大多是比较隐晦的故事，“因为爱”是我所有写的情歌中，歌词和旋律都最直接明白的，也许以后我再也写不出这样的歌了。
05 慢慢等：就是一种很单纯的情感，有点一厢情愿的等待对方。新专辑的版本更贴近Demo与自己原本的想法。
06 翻译练习：想要写出一首大气的歌。去花莲玩得时候得到歌词的灵感，整首歌的词曲算是磨了蛮久才真正完成，大概有将近两三个礼拜。
07 理由：灵感来自日常生活。发现自己太常沈迷于网络世界，所以写出这首歌来反省自己太过于堕落的大学生活。刚好那阵子也刚学爵士钢琴，所以就尝试写出了一首比较爵士的曲子，比较不同以往的风格。
08 阴天的向日葵：高中写的歌。其实那时候在听陈绮贞的歌，所以在写的时候有点偏女性化的旋律线。但歌词在讲的依然是对于感情单恋的描述。
09 完美一点：内地去年最夯的电影“非常完美”，公司希望我帮它写歌。看了剧情简介，想象女主角心境写出来的。不管在任何的感情底下，我觉得人都有一种希望自己更好，让别人更喜欢的期望，所以才想要更完美一点。
10 好天气：台北总是阴雨绵绵，常常想念台中的好天气，所以写出这首歌。
