Khruangbin is an American musical trio from Houston, Texas, with Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald Ray "DJ" Johnson Jr. on drums. The band is known for blending global music influences, such as classic soul, dub and psychedelia.

"杰斐逊飞机"乐队是由男歌手马特·巴林（Marty Balin）于1965年建立起来的摇滚乐队，共6人。起先他们在俱乐部演奏一些民谣摇滚和披头士的歌曲，后来与RCA唱片公司签约，发行专辑《杰斐逊飞机起飞》（Jefferson Airplane Takes Off ，1966）但销路不佳。
不久，他们采用了迷幻摇滚风格，与吸毒文化相联系，而且由于吸收了一位女歌手格瑞斯·斯利克（Grace Slick，1939年出生），情况才发生了变化。1967年，他们的第二张专辑《超现实主义枕头》（Surrealistic Pillow）取得了巨大的成绩。Balin以他带有摇滚力量又不失和谐音律的情歌《Somebody To Love》（有人去爱）和《White Rabbit》(白兔)征服了数以万记的观众。而这两首经典作品作为单曲推出后，销量都突破了百万。
"杰斐逊飞机"被称为嬉皮士时代"旧金山声音"最主要的代表，成了美国最负盛名的摇滚团体之一。"杰斐逊飞机"随后发行的迷幻摇滚专辑，如《万物之冠》（Crown Of Creation，1968）、《志愿者》（Volunteers，1969）、《吠叫》（Bark，1971）等，也都很受欢迎。虽然其中没有一首单曲进入"最佳十首"，但对旧金山很多乐队来说，这是很寻常的。他们不在乎排行榜，甚至有的还把"上榜"看作是一件不光彩的事情。
70年代初，"杰斐逊飞机"的人员又有变动，其骨乾除斯利克外，还有保罗·坎特纳（Paul Kantner ）。他们改名为"杰斐逊（星际）飞船"（Jefferson Starship）。1975年巴林（"杰斐逊飞机"的创立人，后离队）回到乐队。过了三年，巴林和斯利克都退出"杰斐逊飞船"（斯利克于1982年重新加入），乐队风格转向硬摇滚。最初的老队员中只剩下坎特纳一人。最后，连坎特纳也离开了，根据他的诉讼结果，乐队被要求去掉名称中的"杰斐逊"，改名为" （星际）飞船"（Star Ship）。尽管如此，"飞船"于80年代后期仍不时地取得成功。
Jefferson Airplane was an American rock band from San Francisco, a pioneer of the LSD-influenced psychedelic rock movement.
Successive incarnations of the band have performed under different names, reflecting changing times and performer lineups, known as Jefferson Starship, and later simply Starship before becoming Jefferson Starship The Next Generation in 1991.
Jefferson Airplane was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
The term "Jefferson airplane" is also slang for a used paper match split open to hold a marijuana joint that has been smoked too short to hold without burning the hands, an improvised roach clip.[citation needed] An urban legend claims this was the origin for the band's name, but according to band member Jorma Kaukonen, the name was invented by his friend Steve Talbot as a parody of blues names such as 'Blind Lemon' Jefferson

What can one expect of an album called “Sauropoda”? Think of it as a 2am youtube find. Or that weird looking soviet prog funk LP reissue you never dared to buy. It actually sounds more like a L’Eclair show. Most of the new album comes from deep jams the band road-tested following the recording of Polymood. Some of the tracks faithfully capture the live sound of the band while the rest includes carefully crafted dance floor grooves, last minute studio fantasies and genuine late night jams. L’Eclair is about all those things. And things never sound the same twice.
Sauropoda was recorded in the mountains with the band’s live engineer Benoit “Gérard” Erard. In case anyone ever wonders about the way L’Eclair sounded in 2018, Sauropoda would be the correct answer. Proto-groove was born.
Now, where shall we head to, baba?
Record at Le Gatillon on the 15th and 16th of October 2018 by Benoit “Gérard” Erard. Mixed by Benoit “Gérard” Erard at his parents’ place in Leysin. All songs written and performed by L’Eclair.
L’Eclair is:
Sébastien Bui – International Keys
Elie Ghersinu – Dino Bass
Stefan Lilov – Broken Wah Guitar
Yavor Lilov – Kicker’s Delight/Endless Kick/Bronto Kick
Quentin Pilet – Bongos Driver
Alain Sandri – Mellow Lifestyle and Congas
DJ Laxxiste - 440 FX

Electric Lady（电妞）来自北京，成立于2012年10月，最早是一支BLACK SABBATH致敬乐队，历经一段时间的磨合后，结合60 70's布鲁斯、厄运、石人、迷幻、老摇滚等元素，形成了成熟的乐队风格，并积累了大量听众。
乐队以科幻，机器人，神秘学等作为表达主题。并带有大量即兴成分，每次现场的演奏都有很多不同之处。
专辑的制作来之不易，经历了两年的录音。从2013年末起开始录音，14年经历了贝斯手考研，主唱的离队，甚至吉他手父亲的去世等诸多不利因素，直到2015年中才完成录音，在经过几个月的混音和制作之后就有了这张气势磅礴的专辑。其中不乏对人性的思考，对宇宙，对生命的未来，对老一辈摇滚艺人的致敬等元素。
收录8首歌，CD版，限量500张。

亚特兰大四人组Deerhunter是过去几年最多产、最受欢迎也最受争议的乐团之一，主脑Bradford Cox居功厥伟。
天生一副高瘦骨架，苍白而病奄奄的模样与其说是摇滚乐手，其实更像篮球队的板凳球员；他爱恨分明，时常祸从口出。然而自2007年的破茧作《Cryptograms》一路听来，你得承认他真有几把刷子。Bradford Cox将迷人的病态美灌入Deerhunter的音乐骨干：纹理纤细却经得起拉扯，貌似恍神实则招招命中要害。一旦听上瘾，就再也戒不掉。
Atlas Sound是Bradford Cox的个人计画，专门收录置于Deerhunter专辑嫌太轻、太柔或太实验的个人作，去年的出道碟《Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel》让人惊喜听见Bradford Cox不设防的内心世界，今年这张《Logos》不仅延续了行云流水的风格，许多歌由于都在巡迴时顺手写下（譬如巴士、旅馆甚至场馆后台），《Logos》更有一种逐水草而居的游嬉感。
开头曲〈The Light That Failed〉悄声闪动的音波讯号，〈Attic Lights〉悠扬的小提琴与〈Logos〉鬼魅的电子琴，搭配暖烘烘的原音乐器与Bradford Cox漂浮在空中的歌声，这是Atlas Sound拿手的环境摇滚（Ambient Rock）绝活。不过团结力量大，《Logos》最脱俗的两曲，是邀来Stereolab女主音Laetitia Sadier献唱、长八分钟的神游太虚极品〈Quick Canal〉，及与Animal Collective台柱Panda Bear共谱的〈Walkabout〉。
如一首俏皮的摇滚童谣，听着〈Walkabout〉，彷彿躺回了无忧无虑的小学操场。哪怕童年，已是如此遥不可及。

Mazzy Star的根深扎在80年代加利福尼亚的Paisley运动。最初，David Roback和他的兄弟Steve组建了洛城迷幻复兴乐队的代表之一的the Rain Parade（大雨游行）。在发行一张EP后，他离开了Rain Parade乐队，在1980年代中期与前Dream Syndicate贝斯手Kendra Smith组建了Opal。此后在Rain Parade乐队与The Jesus And Mary Chain一起巡演的过程中，Kendra Smith因个人原因离队，Hope Sandoval很快加入进来。此次巡演结束后，Rain Parade又前往欧洲演出，乐队回到美国后解散。准备继续合作的David Roback和Hope Sandoval组建Mazzy Star，继续他们的音乐旅程
Among the L.A. groups dubbed Paisley Underground (Dream Syndicate, the Bangles, Three O'Clock), Rain Parade were the closest to being the real deal for their use of psychedelic flourishes thoroughout their first album. Formed in Los Angeles in the early '80s, the group consisted of David Roback (vocals, guitar), Steven Roback (vocals, bass), Matt Piucci (vocals, guitar), Will Glenn (keyboards), and Eddie Kalwa (drums). Their first single, "What She's Done to Your Mind," was a certifiable hit on college radio, and the band quickly followed with a full-length LP for Enigma in 1983, Emergency Third Rail Power Trip. For 1984's Explosions in the Glass Palace, (Restless) the band lost David Roback to Opal, but John Thoman took over and Mark Marcum filled in for the departed Eddie Kalwa. The re-formed band recorded the live album Beyond the Sunset (1985, Restless) and Crashing Dream (Island, 1986) before disbanding. David Roback went on to finesse Opal into Mazzy Star, Steven Roback, and Thoman worked as Viva Saturn, and Piucci recorded an album withCrazy Horse -- yes, that Crazy Horse.

Austin psych-rock outfit The Black Angels released their fourth studio album, Indigo Meadow, just last April. On Record Store Day (April 19th), they’ll return with a follow-up EP entitled Clear Lake Forest, featuring seven brand new songs pressed on limited-edition clear vinyl.
Guitarist Christian Bland invites listeners to accompany the band on a sonic odyssey: “After roaming through the Indigo Meadow, the time has come to journey to the Clear Lake Forest, where 7 tales of diamonds, executioners, and other strange occurrences await underneath the crystal waves lapping in the lake.”
The Black Angels have once again set off on a blues-meets-psych-rock journey and are asking us to come along.

1967年是旧金山与伦敦的「爱之夏」。　1967年的“爱之夏季”(Summer of Love)让人们看到了“迷幻摇滚”的巅峰。“披头士”在这一年推出了绝对的迷幻专辑《佩玻军士孤独的心俱乐部乐队》(Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band)；“平克·弗洛伊德”、“杰菲逊飞艇”和“交通”也分别推出了他们最棒的迷幻摇滚专辑；吉米·亨德里克斯(Jimi Hendrix)和“菁华”(Cream)则凭借从“新兵”那里继承的以吉他为基础的“酸摇滚”(Acid Rock，“迷幻摇滚”的一个分支，指服用LSD后做的摇滚乐，Acid是LSD的俗称)成了超级明星。“大门”(The Doors)的第一张专辑暴露了迷幻剂的黑暗和神秘，尽管人们总是不愿提及此事。连“滚石”也在后来加入到“迷幻摇滚”风潮之中，他们出版的专辑《他们的撒旦君王的要求》(Their Satanic Majesties Request)虽然有一些好歌，但却被指责只是《佩玻军士孤独的心俱乐部乐队》的仿造品。
当摇滚乐在60年代中期到末期的实验逐渐陈旧后，那些最棒的“迷幻摇滚”(Psychedelic Rock)音乐为人们带来了满负野心和新奇的变革。“迷幻摇滚”曾经带给摇滚乐最令人激动的冒险和创新，当然，其中也有一些被人们称之为最愚蠢的东西。
“迷幻摇滚”产生的原因来自许多方面，但最主要的还是那些想要通过音乐表现用药后感觉的音乐家们。这些音乐家大都也同时具有扩展摇滚乐范畴的渴望，他们想要把来自中东音乐和即兴爵士的影响加入到摇滚乐中，从而使摇滚乐的元素更加丰富和充实。
在“迷幻摇滚”的时代里，它似乎经历了所有摇滚史上最精彩的时刻。虽然“谁人”、“沙滩男孩”、“爱”这些乐队并不能被牵强地称作“迷幻乐队”，但他们那些最出色的歌曲里却能显示出“迷幻摇滚”对他们的强烈影响。复杂精巧的编曲，严重扭曲的吉他，这些“迷幻摇滚”的标志一直被摇滚艺术家们使用着，从60年代末直到今天。
The Summer of Love refers to the summer of 1967, particularly in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, where thousands of young people from all over the world loosely and freely united for a new social experience. As a result, the hippie counterculture movement came into public awareness
The beginning of the Summer of Love has popularly been attributed to the Human Be-In at Golden Gate Park on January 14, 1967. The size of that event awakened mass media to the hippie counterculture that was blossoming in the Haight-Ashbury.[1] The movement was fed by the counterculture's own media, particularly The San Francisco Oracle, whose pass-around readership topped a half-million at its peak that year.[2] The grassroots street theater/activism of The Diggers also garnered media attention.
College and high school students began streaming into the Haight on their spring break of 1967. City government leaders, determined to stop the influx of young people once schools let out for summer, brought added attention to the scene. An ongoing series of articles in local papers alerted national media to the hippies' growing momentum. That spring, Haight community leaders responded by forming the Council of the Summer of Love, giving the word-of-mouth event an official-sounding name
Scott McKenzie's recording of the song was released in May 1967. The song was designed originally to promote the June 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, the world's first major rock festival, which was attended by over 200,000 people. "San Francisco" became an instant hit (#4 in the U. S., #1 in the U.K.) and quickly transcended its original purpose.
The evolution of The Beatles and their music also contributed to the global impact of the Summer of Love. The Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was released on June 1, 1967, in Europe and two days later in the U.S.[4] With its psychedelic influences, Indian instrumentals, vivid album cover and drug references, it encapsulated the very essence of the Summer of Love.
The Beatles had moved beyond their "moptop" era, and on June 25, 1967, their song "All You Need Is Love" was heard around the world as part of the "Our World" radio broadcast, further emphasizing the countercultural ideals of love, freedom, and unity.

MGMT are back with their self-titled third studio album. The successor to 2008's Oracular Spectacular and 2010 s Congratulations, MGMT finds Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser continuing to push themselves to expand the boundaries of modern pop music. Returning to Tarbox Road Studios to work with longtime collaborator Dave Fridmann (Co-producer and mixer of Oracular Spectacular and Congratulations, The Flaming Lips, Tame Impala), Andrew and Ben experimented with various in-studio writing processes, allowing the music to tell them where it wanted to go. The result is a diverse and powerful collection of 10 songs (including a cover of "Introspection" by 1960's psych band Faine Jade) that directly mirrors the duo's encompassing surrealist view of the everyday (see below for full track listing).
The world was given a taste of MGMT in April with the Record Store Day release (on limited edition cassette single) of album opener "Alien Days," hailed as an instant MGMT classic by fans and described by Rolling Stone as a "shimmering, psychedelic soundscape" and Spin as "a sumptuously detailed, exquisitely zonked-out space-rock construction."
In preparation for the highly anticipated release of MGMT, the band have begun assembling a variety of unique visual elements to accompany and illuminate the new music via "the Optimizer." Produced by MGMT live show video instrumentalist Alejandro Crawford, "the Optimizer" provides listeners of the album with a simultaneously aural & optical listening experience featuring video & CGI work by Andrew Benson, Emilio Gomariz, Geoffrey Lillemon, and Chris Timms. "the Optimizer" is part of an enhanced album package available on all commercial formats.

这个从电影《荒野大镖客》里西部牛仔的口哨声中响起阵阵东欧迪斯科节拍的伦敦Dalston乐队名唤Django Django，并自创「Djangorous」一词来诠释自身的音乐风格，却处处流泻着The Beta Band、Hot Chip的影子。并不奇怪，乐队主脑David Maclean其实是The Beta Band键盘手John Maclean的弟弟，耳濡目染之下，Django Django或许能开启「新Betas」的神话？答案显然是否定的；以David Maclean领衔的爱丁堡、东伦敦四人乐队Django Django完全不沾染任何英伦典型音乐气息、「摇滚」与「庞克」不是他们拿来咆哮世人的本领与素材，也不追随The Beta Band恶质的失真，他们所仿效的反而是Optimo亦或DFA等厂牌近年趋之若鹜的摩登电子音乐，以及一丝丝倾向Indie-Dance发展的可贵情操。歌曲〈Hail Bop〉像是击着Tribal节拍的Hot Chip、〈Firewater〉则叫人忆起Full Time Hobby旗下的电民谣组合Tunng。

来自洛杉矶四人全女子乐队Warpaint的Debut Album，她们之前已被NME列为2010年最有前途的新乐队之一。专辑由Tom Biller制作和与Bjork, My Bloody Valentine等大牌合作过的Andrew Weatherall混音。主音Emily Kokal在NME的采访中说”我们建议大家在吞云吐雾后再听我们的专辑 这样才是最棒的”。迷幻朦胧的曲调加上侵略性的吉他，谁会错过这么一只乐队?

The ever prolific Kurt Vile has announced that he will release a new long-player on March 7 via Matador. Smoke Ring For My Halo was recorded by John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.) throughout 2010 at various studios in NYC and is the follow-up to this years Square Shells EP.

Kraut ripulito e aggiornato, scomparso l'odore marcio dell'afghano si sente giusto quello di synth un po' ammuffiti, ma fa solo piacere. Ha uno spirito d'annata ma suona odierno, non è strettamente vintage. Buona costruzione melodica, bei suoni, ritmi variegati, l'album (coinciso quanto basta) si lascia ascoltare tutto con vero piacere, in particolare dalla traccia 4 in cui prende il volo. Forse manca il pezzo forte di per sé (qualche picco: Saturn at 85, The Blood), ma accetto l'album gradevole nel complesso.

世界改变了你我，他却卓傲依然
——木玛首张个人专辑《丝绒公路》跳起不一样的舞
曾经的木马乐队，以其低调唯美的气质，感动了一双双敏感的耳朵。在仅仅发行过的两张专辑和一张EP里，那些被翻来覆去播放的歌曲植根于许多摇滚青年的少年梦里。
人们开始把目光聚焦在那个有着独特嗓音的主唱身上——长发的木玛在舞台上歌唱时，完全沉浸在自己的情绪里。出生在夏天的木玛具备狮子座典型的好强热烈和冷静优雅的双重性格，无法忽略的领导气质、随时可以爆发的情绪化，还有一股迷人的异类气息。
尽管木马乐队宣告暂时停止，木玛的脚步却一刻也不曾停下。发行一张个人唱片是木玛03年就开始计划的，而这个夏天，重新归来的木玛，愿望成真，向所有热爱木玛或是怀疑木玛的人呈上一张40分钟的全长唱片。
为了这张唱片，木玛在去年创建了3rd Party乐队，一切从零开始，花费了整整一年时间和乐队的三个小伙子沟通、磨合。在经历了长达10个月的创作和制作期以后，新唱片带着10首风格迥异的作品终于成形。
新唱片依然由木玛作曲填词并与吉他手关伟共同制作。汉亚文化还特别邀请了日本金牌混音师家守久雄先生来到北京为专辑进行后期制作。在对人声的处理中，家守先生与木玛心意相通的保留了粗糙的颗粒感，没有刻意修饰人声，连之前木马专辑中大量使用的人声混响也舍弃了。吉他声音也大多由简单的音箱失真发出，很少使用效果器，保持了摇滚乐的原始质感。
新唱片带有木玛一贯的根植于post-punk和classic-rock的独特气息，讲究情绪和氛围感。歌曲旋律流畅，显得大气而宽广。部分曲目中合成器的引入及和声的加入，使得音乐元素更加丰富。新的音乐不光延续了木玛以前表达出的绝望和抑郁，还注入了新的情绪，让忧伤不仅仅有一种表达方式——苍茫、华丽，甚至是戏谑。
在谈到这张个人专辑时，木玛表示，这张专辑里收录的歌曲都在展现一种生活和创作状态的真实写照，大多描写一些私人的时光和记忆。对于木玛来说，新唱片是一次全新的尝试，体现着他更进一步的态度，这就是自始至终贯穿的骄傲感。这种骄傲感使得整张唱片变成了一个新鲜而有趣的开端，一次奇特而漫长的音乐旅行。

比较“My Beautiful Sinking Ship”与“Stars At Saint Andrea”两张专辑就会发现，前者比后者更用力，显出急不可耐的表达激情。从一首表现Sara的嗓音从纤细柔美到浑厚有力的“Heart and hands”开始，Devics急欲将他们的技巧表现得淋漓尽致，于是标题曲“My Beautiful Sinking Ship”登场，铿锵的节奏与Sara在沧桑与婉转之间自由变换的嗓音，一幅宏大而又不失细节的海景拉开了。紧接着是一首摇滚味很浓的“You In The Glass”，之后便是数首Devics拿手的慢板情歌。“You Could Walk Forever”、“Why I Chose To Never Grow”等都是他们精心培植的动人的暗夜玖瑰。
到了新专辑“Stars At Saint Andrea”，乐队的心态似乎受到了宁静的意大利乡村之夜的影响。这是一张浑然一体的、创作者深陷其中的专辑。一首冷冷的略带电子味的“Red Morning”和柔情绵绵的“Don\'t Take It Away”之后，是他们迄今最好听的一首男女声二重唱：Sara与Dustin如情人般轻轻吟吟唱“In Your Room”的时候，一个柔美如水，一个粗糙如木，这张力巨大的结合把一个有关分别的场景描绘得如诗如画，却真正把他们要表达的哀意抹入最隐蔽的内层。越来越迷恋夜晚，越来越习惯用幻觉与柔情表达他们不变的颓伤主题。Dustin天生悲凉的嗓音以“Safer Shore”里又把我们带回海边；“Conneted By A String”讲述了由一根小线牵连的两个女孩的故事，超现实主义的主题下暗含着恐惧的阴影；平静得让人崩溃的“Stretch Out Your Arms ”决非是出自人的声音，这首歌正是对他们名字的十足诠释：黎明之前，精灵们带着一个温和的灵魂踏上了去天使之城的飘渺之路……
专辑以一首恬静的钢琴独奏收尾，类似口哨的虚幻之音飘在天边。Saint Andrea的夜空满是繁星。Devics也罢，星星也罢，对于永恒如夜的宇宙都只是闪光的一瞬。歌唱黑夜不是为了一味的下坠，而是因为夜凸显了白昼的光明。夜风清凉，谁能想到精灵们就在你身边，和你一起呼吸、感伤、歌唱？Devics正是挟着这朦胧与灰暗从阳光明媚的加利福尼亚州绽出地面的暗夜之花。聆听他们的音乐如同在观看一部色调微微发黄的旧电影，这电影或是发生在深夜无人问津的街区酒吧，或是在凌乱不堪暗喻了无言的结局的卧室，或在声名狼藉的草地上仰望宁静的星空，或在不断下沉的美丽航船上向往着海岸不无狰狞的岩石。我们看见女主唱Sara Lov不停的在镜头中被遗忘的角落忧伤的歌唱，用她甜美并郁郁寡欢的声音把听者们带入他们早已制好的暗调繁美之境。这说不尽的气态氛围里满布着看不见的感伤分子，如精灵般模糊不清的在你耳边游动。这巧妙的魔法使听者不能自持的低陷下去，却又茫然不知为何。
所谓艺术，正是把每个人都感受得到却无法诉说的情绪或思想表达出来的东西。而音乐恰恰生来就最具备摹写人类情绪的天赋。Devics的音乐表明他们的十年探索不断地的开启了音乐宝盒的动人能量，用并不复杂的配器和编排轻易地实现了他们暗调、大气的音乐理想。而他们在音乐中不断描摹的梦幻场景更是对进入新世纪后越发迷茫的人类内心暗处感怀小花的一矢中的。想想他们的名字，Devics，一种神话中将人们护送至昏暗的黎明深处的天使.

Push the Heart is the fourth full-length album by American indie-rock band Devics. It was released in March 2006 under Bella Union Records.
