8.4 (5 个评分) Longpigs
发布日期 1997年2月25日 出版发行: Polygram UK
Longpigs是一只来自英国Sheffield的Britpop乐队, 你很容易喜欢上这个旋律优美而有些傲慢自大的乐队。要不是他们签的那个破产公司拿他们当还债的本钱抓着不放, 现在他们一定会大红大紫的。Vocal Crispin Hunt的嗓音就像没个Britpop的vocal一样, 充满了朝气,也充满了柔情。 这首ON AND ON选自他们处女专辑The Sun Is Often Out。 这张充满雄心的专辑中你也许能看到Radiohead的影子, 有些Modern Anthem-Rock的味道, 虽然他们不会象Radiohead那样把自己的才华打上独一无二的自己的烙印, 不过你还是能从这张近似于neo-gothic的专辑中听出某些东西, 预示着他们即将拥有一个绚烂的明天

7.5 (13 个评分) The Maccabees 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2007年5月22日 出版发行: Geffen Records
The Maccabees有着英国indie音乐最大的优点和最大的缺点,深刻而又易忘,The Maccabees的音乐不能说是照搬其他团体的风格,因为都是同样的indie,强烈的英国记号深深地烙在他们的音乐中。
The Maccabees来自英国的Brighton,有着宗教意味的名字却是这支无神论者团体的名字,他们在2005年的时候就独立发行了第一首单曲X-Ray,并在2006年的时候得到了许多媒体的正面表扬,NME更是把他们誉为The best new band in Britain,去年的时候他们发表了第二首单曲Latchmere和第一首英国单曲榜上榜单曲 First Love,一首让更多人知道The Maccabees的象征性作品,他们的新单曲About Your Dress取得了33名的成绩。

Midlife A Beginner's Guide To Blur 豆瓣

Blur are set to release a new compilation to coincide with their summer comeback shows.

The Magic Whip 豆瓣 Spotify
8.9 (245 个评分) Blur 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2015年4月27日 出版发行: Parlophone Records
Blur have announced that they will release 'The Magic Whip', their first album in 12 years, on April 27.
The band – Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree – made the announcement at press conference hosted by outgoing BBC Radio 1 presenter Zane Lowe at Chinese restaurant The Golden Phoenix in London's West End, which is ongoing at present.
The album's producer, Stephen Street, also attended.
Blur recorded an album's worth of material in five days in Hong Kong in May 2013.
However, in an interview published by NME in July 2014, Damon Albarn said that because he likes to work in shorter, more concentrated periods of time he feared that he would never return to the tracks the band made while in Asia.
"There are about 15 songs we recorded in Hong Kong," he said at the time. "The annoying thing is, if I'd been able to write the lyrics there and then about being there, we'd have finished the record. But sometimes, if you can't do it all at once, it dissipates really and I don't know what I'd sing about now with that record. There's some great tunes on there, but it may just be one of those records that never comes out."
Nowhere 豆瓣
8.8 (107 个评分) Ride 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 1990年1月1日 出版发行: Creation Records
Nowhere seems to hold consensus as the second-best record of the shoegaze era, and with very good reason. All of the common words, phrases, and adjectives commonly used with the short-lived subgenre fit properly here, and they're all positive, every one of them. Whir, whoosh, haze, swirl, ad nauseum -- this record holds all of these elements at their most exciting and mastered. But in the end, great pop records necessitate quality songs, which Nowhere delivers throughout. Undeniably, it's Ride's zenith -- dense, tight, hypnotic. "Seagull" serves as a dynamic opener; after a couple seconds of light feedback, bassist Steve Queralt kicks in with a rubbery, elliptical line (reminiscent of a certain Beatles song), which is soon followed by Andy Bell and Mark Gardener's guitar twists and Loz Colbert's alternately gentle and punishing drumming. After the upbeat "Kaleidoscope," the record falls into a tempo lull that initially seems impenetrable and meandering. However, patience reveals a five-song suite of sorts, full of lovely instrumental passages that are punctuated with violent jabs of manic guitars. The endlessly escalating "Polar Bear" is a high point, featuring expertly placed tom rolls from Colbert. The tempo picks up for the closing "Vapour Trail," a wistful pop song with chiming background guitars galore and mournful strings to close it out. The U.S. version was bolstered significantly with the remainder of the Fall EP ("Dreams Burn Down" having reappeared earlier in the record). "Taste" is one of their finest pure pop numbers; the moody/driving "Here and Now" rates well, and the five-minute "Nowhere" is a nasty distorto-freakout. [Nowhere was remastered and reissued by Ignition U.K. in 2001. Added to the 11 tracks featured on Sire's U.S. edition are the four selections from the equally wondrous Today Forever.]

The Age of the Understatement 豆瓣
8.1 (32 个评分) The Last Shadow Puppets 类型: 流行
发布日期 2008年4月13日 出版发行: Domino
今年的确是英伦音乐丰收的一年,我们看到了许多老将的复出,当然也有许多崭露头角的新人,而最轰动的莫过于这对临时组合,之前我已经大幅报道了这次合作,而且也让大家提前欣赏了他们的Ep作品,The Rascals也许对大家来说还相对陌生,我本人非常喜欢,只是现在越来越觉得他们的音乐有浓重的猴子味了,激进复古的朋克口味,突出的吉他Riff无论从演艺技巧上来说甚至都可以说是在模仿,那其实并不是我想要的。不知道Alex给他们灌输了多少理念,这次倒好,乾脆直接把领头的Kane拉过来合作,难道真的有点相见恨晚的感觉?前几天已经听过了专辑中的大部分歌曲,不过知道今天才收齐,按照Alex自己所说的,这会是张偏流行的作品, Bacharach-style pop?不清楚是啥风格,又或是创造他们自己所独特的风格来膜拜那些他们所欣赏的乐队,听来比较夸大,傲慢,甚至被外界评论为愚蠢的想法,但你还是不得不佩服他们的无畏。其实仔细看看Alex所写的歌词,简简单单大多透露出这次合作的愉快和舒心之旅,能找到Kane这种知音似乎比得大奖还要过瘾。而 Alex,Kane的和声真的可以说配合的相当不错,说不上唯美动听,但至少难以释怀,蠢蠢欲动的情感迸发,随着飞驰的鼓声和吉他的拨弄让整个境界得以升华,对我来说,没有辜负自己的好奇心,也没有辜负这次看热闹的人。

The spots also ran during the 2008 American Music Awards, where the band was a featured performer. Over the weekend of the release and performance, the Lost video had over one million views. 10 tracks.
