"我总是有意识地避开录音室," Cigarettes After Sex的主唱Greg Gonzalez说道:"在世上某个开敞的角落完成录制总会给专辑带来别样的感受。录制地点的特质或氛围就像是某种未知因素,它会成为专辑情感表达中至关重要的一环。
声音和环境的巧妙结合的确塑成了Cigarettes After Sex 第二张全新专辑《Cry》的灵魂。录制于西班牙马略卡岛上一座令人艳羡的宅邸,《Cry》用极简的笔触描绘出曼妙的线条与柔媚的光线,让人在这般声音图景中感到难以言喻的美丽、情迷意乱的渴望。受到岛上鲜活色彩和新鲜环境的感染,Gonzalez常常在与鼓手Jacob Tomsky、贝斯手Randy Miller和键盘手Phillip Tubbs录音前几分钟才写好歌曲。他亲自操刀录音及制作工作,将重心聚焦于捕捉现场表演的氛围,并从录音环境和乐队成员间的交流中获取灵感,探索录音素材的可能。
收录九首歌曲的《Cry》虽然精练,但仍有着难以掩盖的深度。五零年代末、六零年代初流行乐的浪漫氛围只是专辑中容易察觉的要素,Gonzalez此番的尝试还远不止如此;回溯自己童年在德克萨斯州埃尔帕索度过的时光,他从九十年代特哈诺(Tejano)音乐天后Selena和主流乡村歌手Shania Twain等经典音乐人身上汲取到诸多灵感。除了旋律上的花费的心思,Gonzalez在歌词创作上也不遗余力地进行着革新。他毫无畏惧与窘迫,以类似Henry Miller或Leonard Cohen的直白方式坦诚勾画时常露骨的爱欲交缠场面。Gonzalez创作时好比一个电影人,他用细腻、有着电影质感的方式捕捉不易察觉的时刻,并设法从平凡中提炼深刻的意义。

Sogyumo Acacia Band 豆瓣
8.5 (11 个评分) Sogyumo Acacia Band / 소규모 아카시아 밴드 类型: 民谣
发布日期 2004年12月23日 出版发行: 파스텔뮤직 | ㈜다날
홍대클럽가에서 확고한 팬층을 형성하고 있는 소규모 아카시아 밴드의 첫번째 앨범!!
조용한 음성과 감성적인 멜로디가 듣는 이의 감정선을 자극하면 '시리게 걷는 발자욱 따라 얼어버린 눈물'을 안고 '고개를 들어봐도 달은 보이지 않고 나 혼자 걷기로' 한 정서의 윤곽이 드러난다.
'소규모 아카시아 밴드'의 음악에서는 브라이언 이노(Brian Eno)의 70년대를 관통하여 메이지 스타(Mazzy Star)의 호프 산도발(Hope Sandoval)에 이르는 독특한 하나의 흐름과 만나게 된다. 이들은 근원적 정서에 대한 낯 간지러운 고백을 하는 듯 하면서 결코 고루한 감정에 매달리지 않는다. '드림 팝'이라 이름 붙여진 서구의 어떤 스타일을 떠올리게 하는 것은 사실이지만 이들만이 가진 낯설지 않음으로 인해 분명 익숙한 새로움을 구현해내고 있다. 단절과 교감 사이의 어떤 지점을 음악적으로도 정확히 포착하여 스스로의 음악에 생명을 불어넣고 있는 것이다.

Bad Baby 豆瓣
Negative Gemini 类型: 电子
发布日期 2018年1月5日 出版发行: 100% Electronica
Lindsey French started her latest record in New York and finished it in Richmond, Virginia, under tragic circumstances. She returned to her hometown because her sister was murdered, and there's a mood shift from laidback to vulnerable about halfway through the EP. In both modes Bad Baby is an arresting blend of contemporary dance music and wistful indie pop that takes the featherweight trance of French's older work and moulds it into melancholic songcraft.
Vocals are central to French's music. On "Bad Baby" and "Infin Path" she uses wordless sighs to give her chord progressions a certain lilt, while "Infin Path," the EP's best song, is a breakbeat head rush that recalls Opus III's "It's A Fine Day." The jaunty house of "Bad Baby" is no slouch either, and it comes with an aching chorus that gets stuck in your head. The "Club Mix" is an alternate take that transforms it into a Radio 1-style banger with a hummable bassline and deft vocal chopping.
It's with "You Weren't There Anymore," which juxtaposes a pillowy Balearic feel with an emo-inspired vocal, that the EP takes a wistful turn. "Skydiver" is almost somber with its soft-focus synth organs, while the stark and elegant "My Innocence" ends the EP with gilded arpeggios and raw screaming that strains French's vocal cords. The influence of rock music—French namechecked artists like Weezer and Blink-182 in a recent interview—makes her music feel particularly fresh. She approaches dance music from an angle that feels more honest than trendy, putting the emphasis on emotion over rhythm. An EP that carries more weight than its breezy feel might first imply, Bad Baby is weightier than it might first appear, and an example of how dance music can help people through tough times.
Soft Sounds From Another Planet 豆瓣
8.1 (37 个评分) Japanese Breakfast 类型: 流行
发布日期 2017年7月14日 出版发行: Dead Oceans
Japanese Breakfast's 'Soft Sounds From Another Planet' is less of a concept album about space exploration so much as it is a mood board come to life. Over the course of 12 tracks, Michelle Zauner explores a sonic landscape of her own design, one that's big enough to contain her influences. There are songs on this album that recall the pathos of Roy Orbison’s ballads, while others could soundtrack a cinematic drive down one of Blade Runner's endless skyways. Zauner's voice is capacious; one moment she's serenading the past, the next she's robotically narrating a love story over sleek monochrome, her lyrics more pointed and personal than ever before. While 'Psychopomp' was a genre-spanning introduction to Japanese Breakfast, this visionary sophomore album launches the project to new heights.
Not To Disappear 豆瓣
7.8 (24 个评分) Daughter 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2016年1月15日 出版发行: 4AD
Nearly three years after the release of their debut If You Leave, Daughter – the London-based trio of Elena Tonra, Igor Haefeli and Remi Aguilella – will return in 2016 with a new album, entitled Not To Disappear. Their first single, ‘Doing The Right Thing’, can be heard online today.
Eager for a fresh approach to music videos, Daughter invited filmmakers Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard (directors of the Nick Cave film 20,000 Days on Earth) to create three films for Not To Disappear. Author Stuart Evers was commissioned to write three short stories – ‘Dress’, ‘Window’ and ‘5,040’ – based on select Not To Disappear tracks. Iain & Jane’s videos are interpretations of those tales. ‘Doing The Right Thing’ (based on the story ‘Dress’) is the first of the visual trilogy.
‘Doing The Right Thing’ concerns the delicate subject of dementia and its debilitating, all-pervading effect on family. Jane & Iain’s video of ‘Doing The Right Thing’ is a sympathetic portrayal. You can watch the video via the band's YouTube channel here, or in the player below. You can stream the track via Spotify here.
Not To Disappear is Daughter’s second album and finds the band making confident strides forward both sonically and lyrically. Elena, Igor and Remi spent a summer in New York recording Not To Disappear with Nicolas Vernhes (Deerhunter, War On Drugs, Animal Collective) at his Rare Book Room studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

发布日期 2012年7月21日 出版发行: Spanish Prayers
Relaxing first track and the invitations of a stable love affair lead into the awkward phase of a Napoleon Dynamite-esque prom dance with perfectly retro lights and a soundtrack that would make any man fall in love with Deb.
As I'm a Firefighter dissipates Dreaming of You takes forefront and what was a synchronized dance grows into a close step-on-shoes and head-on-shoulders spin. There's now a spotlight set on the main characters as they gaze into the eyes of a silhouette.
The EP concludes as the characters exit the gym and find their way up the ladder to the water tower where they sit--like Cloude and Tifa--gazing at the possibilities waiting ahead, and between, them.
The closest thing to a kiss is a brush of hands, but in pixel love affairs that was all they ever dreamt and the sky fades away to reveal it is simply the pupils of a pair of Starry Eyes.
