Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Lo-Fang – aka Mathew Hemerlein – conceived and wrote his debut album Blue Film while traveling around the world and across the United States over the last three years. His passion for making music led him to pick up and play with musicians in Cambodia, Bali, London, Nashville, Tokyo, and other points along the way. Songs were written in transit, in hotel rooms, and anywhere the moment inspired him. Billboard’s Jason Lipshutz writes, “Blue Film funnels Hemerlein’s various vagabond experiences in 12 tracks of ornate, rhythmic electronica worth disappearing in.”
A classically trained musician, Lo-Fang is fluent in diverse genres and styles of playing, which are juxtaposed throughout Blue Film. He sings all the vocals—his falsetto is soulful and often hypnotic—and plays every instrument, among them, violin, cello, piano, guitar and upright bass. The set veers from minimalist to intimately symphonic, including ten original songs and two covers. The tracks are sequenced into an atmospherically ethereal blend of shifting textures, beats, and moods that Dazed & Confused called a “brooding, quietly intense exercise in electronic torch song.”
Lo-Fang says the initial template for record was based on a mix-tape called “Blue Film,” an assemblage of songs from various places and states of mind dating back to 2009. Some tracks grew out of events from his own personal evolution. Lyrics might come from a phrase spoken in conversation, or a fly on a wall that persisted as background noise—the ephemera of life. Like a novel written with elegant economy of prose, Blue Film evokes feelings beyond what the words convey. The merger of Lo-Fang’s classical background with his left-of-center approach to pop songwriting further deepens the punch. There’s mystery to the music, which aligns with his preference for each listener to arrive at their own interpretation.
Blue Film was cut at studios in London, Nashville, and Los Angeles and finished at the storied Capitol Studios in Hollywood. Throughout, Hemerlein collaborated intensely with GRAMMY Award-winning producer Francois Tetaz (Gotye), who he says has “a vast encyclopedic knowledge of music” that illuminated and reflected his work at every step of the process.
The album’s opening track, ‘Look Away’ is up-tempo, dreamlike and psychedelic, with a lush strings interlude mid-song. ‘#88’ opens with spare picking and swells to orchestral fullness. Lo-Fang’s cover of BOY’s ‘Boris’ adds an edgy darkness – likewise, his take on the buoyant Grease classic ‘You’re The One That I Want’ is fueled by both longing and menace. Both covers are true to Lo-Fang’s thoughts on reimagining songs – “I think of them more as remakes, like with movies. I take the same story arc, but everything is different—tone, colors, tempo. Like what Christopher Nolan does with Batman, that sort of thing.”

Agnes Obel，来自丹麦的美人鱼。为什么会这么称呼她？因为在今年上海世博会丹麦馆的“美人鱼”主题活动中，Agnes Obel作为表演嘉宾之一，带给了我们喷然心动的优雅声音。不仅如此，Agnes Obel从小就接受了钢琴训练，并且结识了家乡哥本哈根许多当地的乐队以及音乐制作人，对于音乐的态度，自信的Agnes Obel总是会选择独自承担并且去享受音乐过程，编曲，填词，包括后期的混音制作都是一个人去完成，当钢琴声从她轻柔的指尖流动出来的时候，我就知道自己对她的喜爱，悲悯的气氛从Agnes Obel的声音中缓缓流露出来，很安静，很凄美。试想看着她独自一人坐在钢琴前的演绎，或许思绪也会跟着慢慢被吸引，静静的聆听这种感性的音乐。（摘自网络）

ハンバートハンバート5枚目のアルバム。70年代フォーク、カントリー＆ウエスタン、アイリッシュミュージックなどを融合して、なおかつ昔どこかで聞いたような懐かしさを憶えるメロディ。よくよく聞くとやたら泣ける切ない歌詞。凛とした遊穂ちゃんのボーカル。ぶっきらぼうな良成のコーラス。心に沁みます。
最後の曲「長いこと待っていたんだ」は彼らの現在形。まさに夢は始まったばかり。マイペースな彼ら、プロモーションもろくにされてないみたいだけど、こんな歌を求めている人はもっともっと沢山いるはず。１人でも多くの人にこの歌を聴いて欲しいと思います。

HIDEAWAY is the result of their year-long struggle to get tapped in again. Another homemade gem, HIDEAWAY is a darker companion to their last album, with 14 new tunes ranging from the upbeat title track to the jangly rock of "Not Dead Yet" to gorgeously arranged meditations like "How You Survived the War" and "Little Bird."
As with most of The Weepies' music, there is a happy ending to all the struggle: Deb and Steve were married in 2007, and they had a baby boy, Theo, in October.
The Weepies sound on HIDEAWAY remains rooted in their unique writing and unusual harmonies. Their distinctive production is once again filled out by bass player and guitarist Whynot Jansveld, guitarist Meghan Toohey and drummer Frank Lenz. Additional musicians on this album include string player Oliver Kraus, keyboardist John Deley, guitarist Steve Walsh, and horn player/keyboardist Brad Gordon.

有多久没有听见来自心灵的声音？有多久没有听见纯粹音乐的生命！
当我们默默行走在地球的轨道上，不论愿意或是不愿意，都得随著时间的脉搏脱下孩子的外衣。
儘管我们一直不停流逝珍惜的东西，儘管我们一再怀疑自己存在的价值，儘管我们一直在现实梦想交错挣扎，
经歷过迷惘 逃避过困惑 拥抱过沮丧，不断地被击倒 不断地被打垮 不断地被剥夺，但是，我们从不曾放弃。
努力珍惜过去 努力把握当下 努力迎向未来。
音乐是我们的信仰，音乐是我们的力量，音乐是我们的生命。
当你听见Happy Circle，你会听见 坚持 努力 勇敢，漫长黑夜后的第一道曙光，Happy Circle带著你找回遗失的感动。

Japanese exclusive reissue of 1970 album that's unavailable domestically. Packaged in a limited edition miniature LP sleeve.

一支北爱尔兰的独立电子流行乐队， 2007年成立，今年获得了BBC潜力新人的提名，之前签约一家法国厂牌Kitsuné Music，并发行了首张专辑。合成器拼凑跳跃舞曲，驱动抢耳的庞克气流，整张专辑流畅节奏驰骋，相当出色。

The compilation was brought together by actors Sophia Bush and Austin Nichols, known for their roles on the hit show One Tree Hill, aft er they'd traveled with the Global Green organization to Grand Isle, Louisiana and seen the damage caused by the spill.
Rice's track starts off gently and acoustically but gradually swells to include lush strings, horns and massed backing vocals that join him on the song's keening melody for an dramatic finale.

Olivia Broadfield是一名英国的年轻歌手，Olivia Broadfield的歌融合了Imogen Heap(解释一下，Frou Frou组合的女主唱)的电子风格和Leslie Feist的声线。于是就产生了一种充满迭句、闪光的声音来慰籍你伤痛的心。我相信你一定会喜欢的。
Olivia Broadfield is a young artist from the UK..."26 is young OK!?"...although living in a bungalow in a cul de sac in a teeny tiny village is hardly a good way to prove that!
At a time when the charts are saturated with girls wielding guitars, Olivia offers something different, blending the electronic stylings of Imogen Heap with the vocal shades of Feist. The result? An electronic pop album filled with hooks, twinkles, shimmers and a voice to soothe your aching hearts and furrowed brows...we dare you not to like it!

The story of the album: the Jeppesen's and Morello's are some of our closest friends in existence, so it's funny and a little sad that it took us three years until we sat down to really play music together. More sad because I had to leave Brooklyn a year later. This record was recorded in back to back sessions with roughly an hour given per song to record. Most of the final takes are the first takes. This was my quickest album to record, but took the longest to release .
