距离上一张出品《浪漫新青年饭店》短片集不经觉已两年时间，来自香港的新青年理发厅乐队又迫不及待地呈.上全新创作专辑《晚安，晚安》。延续着他们干净的气质、淡淡的“港味”市井气的同时，《晚安 ，晚安》退去几分白日的活泼俏皮，钢琴与弦乐加入木吉他主导的城市民谣，为他们的夜晚添上些许绵长和忧郁。
在校园、大排档、老歌厅里举办“巡回演唱会”，新青年理发厅唱租金、唱下班后，唱迟到的朋友，也唱难得的浪漫，生活里那些如发丝一样细微的瞬间，都成为他们精心修剪“发型” 的材料。以往，他们以木吉他和卡宏箱的简单配置为基底，是最干净简洁的城市民谣;质朴的念白、街道的采样声为辅料，加上偶尔客串的原声乐器，勾勒一副平和的香港市民生活图景。
今次《晚安，晚安》正如其名，收录了几许“当我未舍得睡的时候，我想东想西的一切”。旧歌《一个人回家》重置版开篇，如梭的大提琴织入吉他嘈嘈切切的经线，道出“一个人会习惯”的纠结落寞。几支生活场景的采样和大段钢琴独奏间奏曲，像是晦暗夜里微明的灯，忽远忽近的雨声，一时让人安心睡去，有时又突然将人唤醒。当你设想的生活终于触手可及，《生活还欠你什么?》，那微小的失落是因为什么呢?爱情中物质与天真的不可调和，只好《由她去罢》;《世界是一列由东向西驶往的火车》和《雨曾经讨厌海》是他们关于个人与普遍性探讨的一体两面，逆流而立或拥抱大海，都有其成立的方式;《Don 't You Worry》《晚安， 晚安》两曲，则直白地重复着-声声轻柔抚慰，助你好眠。
在专辑手册的最后，他们用“至今我还未试过失眠。只不过有时会因为未舍得睡，想东想西想到天光”这样的句子，消融无眠的疲惫。这盘《晚安，晚安》，也最合适在日落之后，天亮之前，在你脑海最私密的空间里，作轻柔的抚慰。
晚安，晚安。

Those who know the duo will appreciate that every Binker and Moses performance is distinct in itself, characterised by a mutual spontaneity and a tireless interrogation of the infinite. This 6-track recording, taken from their Journey to the Mountain of Forever album launch at the iconic Total Refreshment Centre back in 2017, is a whole new interpretation of the studio album's first disc (with the opening tune clocking in at a full 17 minutes of semi-free exploration.) The audience's excitement, a sound-bed of whoops and yells, is heard intermittently throughout and only adds to the incredible vibe - a tonic perhaps to these gig-dry, restricted times.

读完他离开时留下的信以后已是黄昏，她定了定神，有些惊讶地发现自己已经走了这么远的路。天色也慢慢暗下来了，她便开始往回走。
在回家的路上，好像所有人都在谈论着什么，这让她慌张。一路小跑，她终于回到了家里，可窗外街道上人群的喧哗声越来越大，涌进房间里，好像还有一些摇曳的火光 映到了客厅的墙壁上。她拉上了窗帘，打开视频网站把音量调到了最大，想听一听那个主播熟悉的声音，可没想到所有的频道都直播着同一个新闻，她不得已地再次看到了外面正在发生的事 —— 平时散步的那个花园里面站满了人，他们穿着五颜六色的衣服，手里挥舞着样子差不多的旗帜。在画面里，她看不清那些被打上马赛克的旗帜上写的是什么，她也听不清人们对着镜头喊叫的是什么，似乎有一种同样的能量从他们的嘴里迸发出来，然而他们的嘴型又各不相同。
她竖起了耳朵去听，网页里车辆的声音和人的声音交织在一起。她眨了眨眼睛，好像是从梦里醒来一样。屏幕上的脸庞使得她曾经亲眼见过的脸庞都激动、鲜明了起来，好像有一只手拉着她的胸襟把她往外拽：“我必须行走，” 她想道，“我必须在街道、河畔、大楼和山谷之间行走，我必须听清楚他们在说什么，也把爱恋、误解、商讨和行动的言语说给他们。”
她会冲到人群中去吗？
她是否已经准备好了表达自己的勇气和理解他人的耐心？

The long awaited and highly anticipated album has finally arrived - our Persona 5 Jazz tribute, "METAGROOVE"! Nearly 3 years ago, we set out on a journey to not only explore the music of Persona 5, but bring out the true potential of this music. The world of Persona 5 challenges its characters to dig into the deepest parts of themselves and face their fears, and from this place comes the most powerful manifestations of their souls. This is no different from what it means to play jazz - and we took this concept to expound further on the brilliant ideas that composer Shoji Meguro laid down for us to call from today.
In addition to the all-star cast of the J-MUSIC Ensemble band, this album features a conclave of some of the world's greatest multi-genre musicians to create the best music possible: Sapphire, Mohmega, Adam Neely, Jonah Moss, Kento Iwasaki, Karlea Lynné, and Ruby Choi. Of course, no great tribute to Persona 5 would be without homage to its artwork. It's our honor to present the beautiful, provocative, and ground-breaking album artwork created by one of the greatest Persona artists in the world: blazpu! We have truly become "Persona-fied" with his rendition of us in the world of Persona, as the de facto band of the Phantom Thieves.
This entire project would not be possible in the... slightest without the help of our generous backers over on Indiegogo. If you're reading this right now, we want to thank you all so much, from the bottom of our hearts, for allowing us to produce and deliver our passion to the world. Your undying love and support has kept us going through the toughest of times, and we promise from here on out, we'll continue to deliver nothing but the best music we can possibly make, and beyond. We truly hope you enjoy this album as much as we enjoyed making it! more
