8.3 (73 个评分) MGMT 类型: 电子
发布日期 2008年1月22日 出版发行: Sony
MGMT is a psychedelic synthpop group formed in 2002 in Brooklyn, NY. The band consists of multi-instrumentalists Andrew VanWyngarden (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Ben Goldwasser (vocals, keyboards, synths, drums), both alumni of Wesleyan University.
Electronic Indie Dance Rock began as a thesis project from music majors at Wesleyan University. They used to be known as “the management” with songs about not quite growing up and a lot of nonsense. They are known for playing shows with only an ipod and some mics.
Andrew Vanwyngarden, one of the MGMT figureheads, is currently collaborating with of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes, with plans to release a record in 2008 under the name Blikk Fang. MGMT was on tour with Of Montreal late in 2005 and VanWyngarden has been appearing on stage during some performances on Of Montreal’s summer 06 tour.
MGMT are currently touring the US with Yeasayer.

Given to the Wild 豆瓣
Maccabees
发布日期 2012年4月24日 出版发行: Fontana
2012 release, the third album from the Britpopsters. The five piece from London spent two years writing and recording this follow-up to 2009's critically-lauded Wall Of Arms. Having previously written as a collective, Given To The Wild saw the band explore a new approach to songwriting. Avoiding the studio, each member retreated to their South London homes to develop ideas individually. From here the songs evolved into the 13 tracks that would make up Given To The Wild, an epic and beguiling masterpiece of distorted pop, Psychedelia and soulful guitar wig outs. It is the band's most adventurous work to date. Taking sonic inspiration from a disparate collection of musical peers such as The Stone Roses, Kate Bush, Talk Talk and David Bowie, Given To The Wild finds the band exploring new territory. Television and Thin Lizzy-inspired guitar hooks pop out of washed-out soundscapes where programmed loops and phrases are blended against the band backdrop and where they write their most complete pop music yet .

8.1 (34 个评分) The Drums 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2010年6月7日 出版发行: Cooperative Music
The Drums乐队成立于2008年底。由主唱Jonathan Pierce ,吉他手Jacob Graham,Adam Kessler和鼓手Connor Hanwick四人组成。到了2009年底,就连最为挑剔的音乐粉丝们也像宗教朝圣般去参加乐队在纽约的音乐会。这俨然成了粉丝们每周一次的盛会。 乐队成员Jonathan和Jacob是童年好友。早在很久之前,对电子音乐感到厌倦的他们,就计划打造一支与众不同的全新乐队。 “在这种直率的音乐中,我们可以感到满足和喜悦。这也正是为什么我们如此热爱20世纪50年代。那个时代正好是最基本的流行音乐的开端。当时的那些乐手好像是在从那稀薄的空气中,得到了那些惊人的,永恒的旋律。”乐队如是说。 这样的组合也许看上去并不是合乎逻辑,但是当你听到音乐的时候,你会知道这就是你需要的。你会觉得你必须要拥有它,因为这就是你在一直寻找的。
The self-titled debut full studio release from American indie-pop outfit The Drums follows their critically acclaimed EP Summertime. Featured on the BBC's Sound Of 2010 list, the band was formed by childhood friends and former bandmates Jonathan Pierce and Jacob Graham. Their unique surf-pop sound is influenced by an unusual mixture of Factory Records-inspired indie with the pop sensibilities and sunny melodies ofthe Beach Boys. "Best Friend" is the first song Pierce and Graham wrote for The Drums and is the first single to be taken from the album.

Exit Calm 豆瓣
Exit Calm 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2010年5月17日 出版发行: Club AC30
A sonic and soulful masterpiece, this impressive debut showcases the bands
distinctive wall of immense and anthemic sound whilst simultaneously
introducing you to a band whose sincerity, presence and originality serves to
remind you what ‘real’ bands are all about.
Produced by Paddy Byrne (Unkle, The Hours) and mixed by renowned mixer
and remixer, Ulrich Schnauss the album features current single ‘Hearts and
Minds’ alongside live favourites such as ‘We’re On Our Own’, ‘Serenity’, the
cinematically beautiful ‘Reference’ and psychedelic ambition of ‘Recovery’.
With heady guitars, ambient and effect laden layers, echoes of musical
heroes such as The Verve and Spiritualized are undeniable, yet Exit Calm’s
delivery is incomparably unique and in a class of its own. This is a band
that once seen, leave no doubt in belief; coming alive on stage and evoking
an atmosphere of epic proportions.

The Invitation 豆瓣
8.6 (95 个评分) Thirteen Senses 类型: 流行
发布日期 2004年1月1日 出版发行: Vertigo
一个好友推荐我听Thirteen Senses的首张大碟的时候,兴奋地说比去年英伦新锐团体Keane还动听,于是找来这张唱片。去年因为Keane以钢琴替代吉他的新鲜之举大获成功之后,我也猜想英国必定会有类似的团体跟着发片,果然就来了这队Thirteen Senses。对他们的背景不算了解,网络里也一直没有得到更全面的资讯,去年9月发表首张专辑《The Invitation》的这队英国新团,似乎还没有引起更广泛的关注。
因为之前有朋友拿来与Keane相比,听的时候也就不那么客观。其实Thirteen Senses这样的乐队,若没有Keane在之前那么风光,的确有望进入2004年英国一线。不过有了Keane在商业上的成功,Thirteen Senses的歌曲就显得不那么流行了。他们的音乐在制作上将钢琴做为主要的Groove进程元素,不知道是不是受到Keane的启发,不过象类似的编曲之前也有惨兮兮的Starsailor,只是Thirteen Senses在吉他方面的表现仍旧会让人觉得他们是一支不折不扣的吉他乐队。虽说他们的歌曲不那么流行,但绝对悦耳清新,也因少有过于易记的旋律反而会令人在听觉上不容易疲劳。相比Keane的过耳不忘来,Thirteen Senses更耐听。主唱的歌声会令我想起那队不太有建树的Geneva来,英国腔调在indie乐迷来说,无论唱成什么样都会觉得亲切,更何况Thirteen Senses的歌声那么单纯清澈。音乐中松弛的节奏,悠扬美艳的吉他,绝对不容indie乐迷错过。
女朋友跟我一起听,说每次听的感觉都有所不同,因为Thirteen Senses的歌声并不象keane那般惊艳,反而会令人平均地注意到整体乐队的表现,每次聆听都会被新的细节感动。要说有些作品也不失波澜壮阔的感觉,只是没有表现的那么嚣张,而是更多内敛。
如果说Keane的成功会令人对他们下一张专辑的期待值过高的话,那么Thirteen Senses的这张唱片,只会让你更平静地等待他们的新作问世,是否有突破都不重要,没有大卖的热门歌曲,也就不会招来附庸风雅的弄潮听众。或许这也是一种绝好的结果。
顺便说一句,Thirteen Senses的主唱也是一张娃娃脸,太多与Keane的相似之处,难免我的朋友会那么介绍他们了。他们的不同,自有听者去品味。

曾受到Johnny Marr和Noel Gallagher两位摇滚巨星公开称赞是最佳英国新生代乐团的Temples,宣布即将在2014年2月10日发行首张专辑《Sun Structures》,由Heavenly Recordings发行。
首张专辑由乐团的James Bagshaw在Kettering的家中制作和录音,并由 Claudius Mittendorfer混音。谈到关于新专辑的「DIY元素」,James Bagshaw说:「这有点像是Joe Meek的方法(英国录音制作先驱),他在浴室录制歌曲的人声部分,我看到这种方式时,觉得(录音)根本没有任何限制。如果你知道你想要达到什么效果,总是会有办法解决的。」
Noel Gallagher之前对BBC Radio 1的偏颇让新团没有曝光机会时,也曾为Temples发声说:「近几年有很多不错的专辑但是你不会再电台上听到,Temples、Jagwar Ma. 很不错的东西,但是始终浮不出台面,你需要了解一下他们的世界。」
