This self-titled 12” vinyl split between Swedish experimental instrumentalists pg.lost and domestic post-rock outfit Wang Wen (罔聞) is definitive proof that China’s musicians have become equal partners in the global creative community.
pg.lost tackles the A-side with a suite of two ten-minute songs—“Desperdicio Parts I & II”—that open with a decidedly doom-influenced Spaghetti Western flair before nestling into more comfortable post-rock ground: crashing rock movements that intoxicate the listener and ferry them through waters of aching, almost heartbreaking emotion stamped with forceful, triumphant and occasionally-violent melodies that recall sweeping windswept vistas.
Wang Wen excels at running emotional relays from melancholy grief to guarded hope—and back again—multiple times within single songs, feats of sonic prowess that make their contributions an ideal soundtrack for these troubled times.
On the B-side, the Chinese quintet counters pg.lost’s fiery, outward-looking tracks with three subdued and inward-looking sketches. The fragile opener, “13th”, is dominated by mellow, intricate guitar interplay overlaid upon warm and reassuring throbbing organ tones before disintegrating into a pedal-induced feedback fuzz.
“Homeland Accent,” a subdued island in which a glockenspiel, Hammond organ, earnest percussion work, soaring lead guitars and a violin all take turns occupying center stage, offers a tranquil respite before the barnstorming closer “Mouse Song,” the aural equivalent to a flash thunderstorm.
The seven-minute jam neatly pivots from languid mandolin and violin-laced guitar wizardry backed by sunny, bubbling synths to a brief midpoint moment of stark lucidity before the band throws themselves into cathartic, film credits territory marred by agitated and fitful guitar squalls.
And then the sky brightens, the string section chirps and all is well again—置若罔聞: turning a deaf ear to the wolf at the door.

Pg.lost是一支来自瑞典Norrköping的4人后摇乐团，成立于2004年。乐队之前曾使用 "Before You Give In" 这个名字，后来因为阵容变化而改用现在的名称。现在的乐队成员包括Gustav Almberg (guitar/keys), Mattias Bhatt (guitar), Kristian Karlsson (bass/vocals), and Martin Hjertstedt (drums).
乐队于05年发行首张同名EP。去年发行第二张EP《Yes I Am》，这张包含了5个作品的小专辑已为Pg Lost的音乐定下了基调~~~没有人声的横加干涉（其实仔细听还是有人声的），没有其他元素的喧宾夺主，只有后摇滚哀愁的描述与盎然的爆发。在后摇井喷的2007年，Pg.lost仅凭借这一张EP就成为了TSB年度50佳后摇唱片之一。
时隔一年之后，Pg.lost终于带来了乐队首张全长专辑《It’s Not Me It’s You》，与EP一样，这张专辑最突出的音乐方向还是传统的后摇滚美学，跌宕起伏，仅仅通过器乐的堆积而达到古典音乐式的宏大与壮阔。
有人说他们的音乐很暴力，我不觉得，我认为Pg.Lost 把后摇的细腻柔美和力量大器结合的非常完美，Pg.Lost 很善于优雅中爆发，但在那一串串听似山洪暴发般的吉他噪音中，Pg.lost的旋律却永远不失柔美，衔接巧妙。对于之前听多了柔美旋律的后摇入门学生而言，当我听到第一首 Pascal's law 时, 很难描述是怎样的一种震撼！之前没听是因为没有好的版本~~~呵呵
专辑中每首曲子都值得很多次的细细品味~~~
