Not for Want of Trying

2008 release, the aural by-product of a broken laptop and four boys' over-active imaginations. Maybeshewill were formed in Leicester in the summer of 2006, and released their debut EP Japanese Spy Transcript in the autumn of the same year. Sometimes they play shows, though not very often. They'd rather sit at home watching films and stealing bits from them. Field.
莱斯特城（Leicester），典型的英格兰内陆工业城市。常年灰沉的天空，连绵的阴雨，略显拘谨的古老房屋和狭窄的石头街道，压抑的空气让人透不过气来。闲暇之时，除了去酒吧里开怀畅饮，还真是没有比呆在家里更好的选择。就这样，几个年轻人泡在卧室里看电视，研究电影，然后从中汲取营养捣鼓音乐。其结果，就是Maybeshewill的诞生。 几经兴衰的后摇滚（Post-R ock）发展到今天，颠覆性和包容性是其前进的动力。Maybe she will对传统后摇滚冗长篇幅的放弃和对电子元素的拿捏虽非首创但也绝对具有艺术革新性。同时作为纯器乐乐队，其天生就有缺少主唱的短板，因此没有人声的音乐往往在旋律上下大功夫，善于渲染气氛培养感情，很容易给个人思绪提供翻腾的空间。但乐队并不满足于此：他们把电影和电视对白的采样发挥到了极致，用一种独特的人声运用方式赋予音乐极强的画面感，以此来突出乐曲的主题并宣扬其社会和政治主张。
