大阪を拠点に活動するオルタナバンド、Amsterdamnedの1stフルアルバム!!
こんなにもメロディアスなのにアムス節が効きすぎている、進化という言葉の真の意味を体現した素晴らしいアルバム。妖艶な歌と鋭いサウンドが優しく広がっていく、洗練に洗練を重ねた音楽に浸れます。
1曲目「melodia」静かに歌から入り、耳をじっと傾ける心を作り上げられてからの「巡る！血潮！」でドッと来ます。その"ドッ"が、めちゃくちゃパワフルなまんまに優しくて丁寧なのが最高。強引さが全くない自然な音の波、サビでキーボードと一緒にフワフワ宙に舞っていける名曲。
4曲目「DisUtopia」音と音が切なく丁寧に絡まり合うポップス。レゲエ調に入るキーボードとめちゃくちゃに広がっていくドラムのリバーブ、繰り返される言葉が聴いているという状態の後に頭の中に入ってきて一緒に共鳴しながらリフレインし始めます。中盤とラストでそれぞれ突然来るバグのような爆音、これが"Dis"の部分でしょうか。心がざわざわします。気持ちいいだけじゃないでしょ？というメッセージを勝手に感じました。
9曲目「Carnival」アムスといえば！とアムス好き10人に聞くと6人ぐらいが「Carnival！」と言うと勝手に思ってます。僕はそうです。学校の教科書とかにも載せる曲です。だいぶ前の音源にも入ってたのですが、クオリティが凄すぎになっての再録。音ひとつひとつ、そしてバンドとして、表現力があまりに高すぎる上にその高い表現力が丸まんま音源にも反映された、意外となかなかない完璧なサウンドバランス。長いベースソロからの爆裂トリップ音洪水、まだ終わらないで！と思いながら最後まで聴き続けてしまう超名曲。

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.

Los Angeles seven piece, The Warlocks release their hotly tipped new album Phoenix, on Mute in conjunction with City Rockers. Released on Birdman Records last year in the US, the British release of Phoenix features two new songs 'Red Rooster' and 'Isolation'.

Rock band from Reykjavík. Formed in 2000.

1968年是菲利普·迪克（Philip K. Dick）的代表作「仿生人会梦见电子羊吗？」首次出版的年份。在后末日世代，主人公里克·德卡德（Rick Deckard）在短暂的24小时里，经历的跌宕起伏恍若一生让人十分着迷。我们企图在一首歌的时间里也尝试虚构一个人物，在经历了一场壮烈旅程后最终回归平静日常的故事。

Lucid Express is the name of five young dreamers creating a stunning airy blend of shoegaze and indie pop amongst the skyscrapers, mountains, and packed alleyways of Hong Kong.The name itself a modest mission statement of the band’s intent. Lucid in the poetic sense of something bright and radiant. The Lucid Express operating as the service to take the listener on a journey through the band’s color-soaked sounds.

The last few years have been very special for Swedish dream pop pioneers Immanu El. Since the latest album release almost five years ago, the band have been touring around the world and battling a lawsuit against the state at the same time - a somewhat Kafka-esque experience that ended up with two trials and a verdict proving the band innocent almost two years later. Immanu El re-grouped in a cellar of an old regiment building, started to write new music and got Swedish Grammy nominated producer Johan Eckeborn (Jonathan Johansson - Lebensraum) on board to work with the band. When spring arrived, the boys booked a studio at the top of a hill near Florence in Tuscany, Italy, and spent two weeks recording what now has become the band's fourth album; Hibernation. Putting more time and focus into the production than ever before, Immanu El and Johan Eckeborn have managed to create something unique, developing the sound of the band and making the songs more compelling and exciting than ever. Introducing synthesizers and a rhythmic drive to melodies, this album has brought a new level of grandeur and simplicity to the music. Immanu El started as a musical experiment in Jönköping, Sweden 2004 by then 16-year-old Claes Strängberg, soon joined by his twin brother Per and friends David Lillberg and Jonatan Josefsson. The band has gained a reputation as one of the most promising bands from Scandinavia and have performed over 300 shows in 30 countries since the debut album was released 2008. During the last years of touring Immanu El performed at festivals such as SXSW in Austin, Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg, Filter's Culture Collide Festival in Los Angeles, CMJ Music Marathon in New York, Canadian Music Week in Toronto and Strawberry Festival in Beijing and Shanghai.The album's lead track features a video by Emmy nominated American filmmaker Jeff Penilla. "Swedish post-rock romanticism or hauntingly whispering hover-pop" Rolling Stone, US. "Specialising in the epic, horizon-seeking guitar scapes pursued by Sigur Ros, new single 'Under Your Wings I'll Hide' is nine minutes of undulating gorgeousness. It moves, it calms, it swells, it breaks. This is precious metal boiled down and remoulded into moving, uplifting pop music." When the Gramophone Rings

越洋电话那头的摇篮曲

他仅仅回头看了一眼，我便无法忘记。
在有限的时间里，尝试再靠近一些，
直到成真或幻灭的终点，我都不愿停止向前。
“查理”是向往的人事物，是美好的集合，不论人们如何被世俗消耗，只要意志与信念不灭，对“查理”的追寻便不会消失，那样的过程就是人们活过的痕迹。

如同往深海里丢一束光
遥远而坦率的安静却能和声音并存
可能你是躺着、坐着、站着
或者任意的卷缩
任意的时刻
