Kicking Television-Live in Chicago, recorded over four nights in May at The Vic Theatre. "It's really the best it's ever felt," said Jeff Tweedy to the Detroit Free Press earlier this year. "I would say at this point, I don't think I've ever been in a band that's felt this connected and unified with this collective vision." To document that collective vision that band called upon veteran mixing engineer Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews, Johnny Cash) to capture the energy, excitement, clarity and musicality that has earned Wilco continued praise for their live shows around the world.

2012 release from the Chicago-based Alt-Rockers. With Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) now fully integrated into the lineup, Disappears return with a full-bore assault of a record. "Pre Language" finds the band speaking on, of all things, love. Direct allusions to Philip K. Dick, James Baldwin, and Joan of Arc sit side by side with songs about the lows of life and the characters that permeate it. Recorded in Hoboken, NJ at Sonic Youth's Echo Canyon West studio and mixed with John Congleton, Pre Language finds Disappears at their most potent and focused. The band has finally stepped into their own world and the results are thrilling.

Chrystia "Tia" Cabral, known professionally as Spellling, is an American experimental pop musician based in Oakland, California. Cabral released her debut album, Pantheon of Me, in September 2017; Pitchfork felt it was "surely among the most overlooked debuts this calendar year".

尽量不耍花招，不使手段；
尽量不说虚妄语，不使文艺腔；
尽量不做冷眼看客，不做避世高人...
真刀真枪，硬桥硬马，像一个真正的亲历者那样感到疼，感到怕，感到愤怒，感到迷惘，感到焦虑，感到困在笼中的鸟的无能和无力，感到人近中年的颓丧和不甘心...
这是创作这张专辑的初衷，所有的歌都完成于去年年底和今年年初。

尼采说：在自己身上，克服时代。话说得漂亮，但要做到谈何容易？没被时代整个吞噬已经很了不起了。
有心的听众当然能够明白，在一片嘻嘻哈哈之中作严肃状是让人尴尬的...
尴尬就尴尬吧，管不了那么多了，总不能所有人都只剩一副玩世不恭投机取巧的聪明表情吧？

愿这些歌速朽，愿制造了这些歌的荒诞离奇时代速朽。

Glass Animals are an English psychedelic pop band formed in Oxford in 2010. Led by singer, songwriter, and producer Dave Bayley, the group also features his childhood friends Joe Seaward, Ed Irwin-Singer and Drew MacFarlane. Bayley wrote and produced all three Glass Animals albums.

Laufey is a LA based singer, composer, producer and Muti-instrumentalist whose isongs combined indie and jazz quite well. As an Icelandic Chinese artist grew up with enriched jazz and classic music, she became hooked on the jazz standards of Ella Fitzgerald, etc. Her style of lyrics are quite sentimental, young and modern generation like while the tone and melody are bit vintage.

Originally released in October 1999, the debut release by Lali Puna garnered rave reviews from the press and industry luminaries, such as Radiohead. Tridecoder features 9 tracks of some of the finest electronic pop and set the foundation for the band that would go on to record two more albums. Led on vocals by Valerie Trebeljahr, the rest of the band consists of members of The Notwist, Tied &Tickled Trio and Console.

这张专辑是她的一本日记——是袒露和绝对的隐喻。
日记里也许这样写道：
“一颗赤裸的心照常升起，而我的身体和意识确然随着时间变化了，内心就此浮现出了‘女人’二字——不必成为他的妻子，也没有孕育一个孩子；也许并没有成为谁的榜样和骄傲，依然这般如此的走到了现在…”
写道：
“我如此热爱女人，如同热爱着自己。我用一双视线并不清晰的眼、一颗大部分时刻明朗着的心、一些思绪，编织出了现实与梦、激情与平静的交汇。”
又写道：
“其中有我的梦，也有某日我坐在别人身旁听到的故事；有我视线内的景观，亦有我的人生与主观；有痛苦、思辨、患得患失，也有一刀两断与毫不留情......这是一个慢慢让重要性层面浮出水面的过程，即便我如此擅长为世界流眼泪，也渐渐意识到爱、能量甚至善意是有限的，正如同生命有期限；而即便学会了切割放弃，也不得不面对毫无选择时的困境。“
再写道：
“那就让我如此生活吧，生命力迸发在悬崖峭壁。”
“她不再属于任何地方，整个大地连成了一片，去哪里都可以，你称之为广袤天地。”
“一无所有，独特的境遇，于边角捕捉些许永恒的闪耀。”
在这本日记里，文字与音乐于此交汇了，激越与思辨碰撞，困境与无尽的想象共存亡。

优雅神秘男声 Richard Hawley 《Late Night Final》
飘渺梦境般里的优雅神秘男声在屋里轻漾，缓缓地勾勒出心中早已经存在的那座忧伤的城堡，那些在生命中错过的，那些曾经迷失的，那些怀疑的，那些痛苦的……这样的音乐本就是属于夜晚的。
或许就睡前音乐这个主题而论，《Late night Final》这样一张摇滚专辑放在这里还是多少有点不合时宜，它也许更多的属于旅行的背包，但是听这样的音乐它至少能让你在清醒中睡去，决不会有自我欺骗的可能，迎接你的会是一个无比踏实的睡眠。

Venturing to push the boundaries of her primarily synth-based work, SPELLLING took on the ambitious task of orchestrating and self-producing an album that features an ensemble of 31 collaborating musicians. The Turning Wheel incorporates a vast range of rich acoustic sounds that cast SPELLLING’s work into vibrant new dimensions. The double LP is split into two halves - “Above” and “Below.” Lush string quartet shimmer combines with haunting banjo and wandering bassoon leads, as the album progresses from the more jubilant, warm, and dreamy mood of the “Above” tracks to the more chilling and gothic tone of the “Below” tracks. This progression is anchored by SPELLLING’s familiar bewitching vocal style that emphasises the theatrical and folkloric heart of her songwriting.

我们追求的生活状态是什么？在新生、死亡、囚禁、自由等不断流动的现实中，太多的悲伤掩盖快乐。有时候，为了保护自己，我们甚至选择放弃细腻的情感和知觉。失去敏感后伤痛却有机可乘，在无意识时强行囚禁了我们。
「看开点」是一种揶揄、自我消遣却又真实的状态。我们必须挣扎着找到一道透进心扉的光线，拚命地将水泥墙挖凿开来，争取一种情感解放的世界。在这个血淋淋的过程中，我们重新拥抱任何感官的历程纪录，榨取分秒刻度中所埋藏的、一片无限延伸的世界。在那个世界里，我们会找到灵魂落脚的地方。
'I've been alone, all my life, but with the compensation of the intellect.'
'And is that enough?'
'It could be...if one's so fortunate as to find a place in the world...and a soul with whom one's loneliness can reside.'
'Do you know a place where two such souls might reside?'
Quoted from the movie "Mr. Holmes (2015)"

Chinese Football是一支于2011年在武汉成立的独立摇滚乐队。
冲出亚洲，走向世界，全力以赴，体无完肤。Chinese Football是一个无比真诚的玩笑，一个成立于2011年愚人节的真人游戏，他们是四个来自东方芝加哥的年轻人，他们是97一代国足的噪音遗产与97世代独立摇滚的回响余温。
Chinese Football所有的作品都在讲述同一个故事：一个幻想及其挫败。这些简单/糅杂/流畅/生涩的音乐中充斥着说话（在蒸发）、梦想（在坍塌）、热血（仍未冷）、呐喊（怯意地）。
这样一支令人崩溃的纠结体乐队自然也拥有令人崩溃的音乐源流与亲缘系谱：骨子里流淌着Envy/Fugazi的硬核热血，又在Jimmy eat world/Get up kids的陪伴下度过了矫情的青春期，想像Number girl/Cap 'n jazz那样一路横冲直撞，又难以割舍The Sea and Cake/Yo La Tengo般甜美旋律，但归根结底，他们仍是一支貌似高冷志在洗脑的热血流行天团。

This Is Acting is the seventh studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Sia. It was released on 29 January 2016 by Inertia, Monkey Puzzle and RCA. The album was preceded by the release of the lead single, "Alive" on 24 September 2015. The album is mainly an electropop album with soul influences. The album is composed of songs written by Sia that were rejected by other artists, such as Adele and Rihanna.
The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented the big bold beats and Sia’s vocals. However, some critics did not like the fact that the songs were not very personal and the messages of the songs could be taken in different ways.

跑吧，有个声音在我的脑海和心中。远离黑暗离开家园，我想知道，真实究竟是什么？「睁开真理的眼睛看看吧！无须恐惧」蓝色的荧光指向猎户座的腰带，在进入下一层新的梦之前... 香格里拉正在呼唤。
