7.5 (36 个评分) The Killers 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2008年11月24日 出版发行: Mercury
Four years after the release of their landmark debut in 2004, MTV VMA Award-winning, Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum Island Records group The Killers have completed their fourth album - and first new studio album in two years - DAY & AGE, featuring the new single, "Human" debuting worldwide September 22nd, while the digital single will be released September 30th. The new album hits stores November 25th - two days before Thanksgiving.
DAY & AGE was produced by Stuart Price, a key figure in electronic music (Les Rhythmes Digitales) who previously worked with The Killers on "Don't Shoot Me Santa," their 2007 Christmas single; as well as music on their 2007 compilation, Sawdust. Over the past five years, Price has worked as a producer, mixer, programmer, and keyboardist, including The Killers' "Mr Brightside" remix which was Grammy Nominated.
The Killers - Brandon Flowers on vocals and keyboards, guitarist David Keuning, bassist Mark Stoermer, and drummer Ronnie Vannucci - found time to complete their new album while also wrapping up their biggest summer rock festival season in the U.S. and abroad. Historic headlining gigs at England's prestigious Leeds and Reading fests coincided with an appearance on the cover of NME's August 8th issue. Earlier in 2008, the Killers took home top honors for Best Band of the Year and Best Track of the Year ("Tranquilize") at the annual NME Awards USA gala, at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on April 23rd.
DAY & AGE comes one year after the release of Sawdust (November 2007), a 17-song collection of previously unreleased session tracks, B-sides, rarities and one-offs. The album was assembled at a recording studio in New York's Hell's Kitchen, where the Killers worked with Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer Lou Reed two recordings. Two singles and videos were issued: "Shadowplay" (from the motion picture soundtrack of Control, Anton Corbijn's biopic of Ian Curtis), and "Tranquilize".
The Killers' RIAA platinum second album Sam's Town (October 2006) debuted at #2 and spun off two hit singles: the #1 Modern Rock "When You Were Young," nominated for Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Short Form Music Video; and "Read My Mind," the band's first #1 at Triple-A. Their worldwide 5 million-selling debut Hot Fuss (June 2004) was the longest-running rock album inside the top 50 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for all of 2005, logging 94 weeks on the chart - 53 of those inside the Top 50. The album spun off four solid hit singles - the Grammy-nominated anthem, "Somebody Told Me," the VMA-winning (and Grammy-nominated) "Mr. Brightside," the Modern rock hit "Smile Like You Mean It," and the Grammy-nominated "All These Things That I've Done."

发布日期 2008年6月17日 出版发行: Capitol
专辑的名字来自一位墨西哥艺术家Frida Kahlo给自己的一幅画的命名。
在这张专辑制作的早期,三名乐队成员各自把对新专辑的想法都写在一张白板上,每一个人的想法都很激进前卫,最后,Chris Martin收回了他的看法。他希望以后有机会再游说他们。"我听到波诺曾经说过一句话,'乐队不应该为钱而分裂,他们应该只为了歌曲名单而分裂,'”他说,在这一点上,没有什么比这更有针对性了。”
乐队聘请了传奇制片人Brian Eno做他们第4张专辑的制作人。并且,他们有针对性地试图排除一切外来影响。吉他手Johnny Buckland说: "我们感觉自己的头三张专辑是一个三部曲,我们已经完成了。因此,我们想要做一些不同的。" 乐队让记者听了一下他们正在制作的歌曲小样,大多数听起来令人耳目一新, 完全不同于他们以往的热门歌曲“Clocks”和“Speed Of Sound”。
好几首歌相当粗糙靠近边缘,伴随着扭曲的吉他和更加突出的敲击。歌词是暗色调的,反复出现了死亡和孤独的主题。其中有几首歌,Martin延长他的声带调色板,其表现大大超出了人们对他以往运用假声的理解,其音色低沉,性感,给人的感觉更个人,更真实。"不管这样好还是不好,我们已经开始在音乐里融入更多的色彩。”Martin说。 "取悦每一个人是不可能做到的,我们经历了这么长时间才体会到这一点。这样说让人觉得自由——可能没有一个人喜欢我们做的这些东西,但我们此时此刻就是想这样做,而且要把它做完为止。”
在新专辑里,乐队探索了各种声波的方向,其中一些来自制作人呢Brain Eno的启发和鼓励。"他不主观臆断,做出来的东西令人耳目一新。”Matin说。Buckland补充说, "他不仅仅是带来声音或其他东西,他带来了对一切事情的想法,甚至具体到,怎样构筑我们渡过的这一天。他的建议让我们停下来,仔细考虑很多问题。”

Grace/Wastelands 豆瓣
9.0 (33 个评分) Peter Doherty 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2009年3月24日 出版发行: Astralwerks
Libertines and Babyshambles leader, Spin cover boy, frequent gossip magazine and TV show paparazzi target. Peter Doherty fi nds himself constantly at the center of a hurricane of media attention, a windstorm of publicity that constantly keeps him in the public consciousness.
Grace/Wastland is a brave exploration into the eye of the hurricane. A stunning new album that goes beyond the news stories and photos that lays bare a man's soul, an excavation of a heart left desolate. Recorded over a month of sessions in autumn 2008 at London's legendary Olympic Studios with producer Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur, Cranberries, Kaiser Chiefs), Peter Doherty brings to life a collection of songs many which have existed since the heady days with The Libertines. Without the guise of The Libertines and Babyshambles to hide behind, never before have we seen Doherty so personal, raw, and vulnerable in his songwriting. Ripe with lyrical insights, Doherty's main themes are present and truthful - his troubles with youth, music, love and addiction are all revealed.
Adding color to Doherty's compositions is Blur guitarist Graham Coxon, appearing on nearly every track, instilling in the music his pedigree and refi ned studio nous. Scottish singer Dot Allison (One Dove) and poet Peter "Wolfman" Wolfe also make contributions to the record.
So, having laid himself bare, Peter Doherty has left himself open for critical analysis. Take this album for what it is and judge it on its merits, rather than the distortions of truth we and Peter are forced to endure. Think you know Peter Doherty? Listen carefully: this album is Peter Doherty.
