★「Blue Wave」风格创始者，从Beyoncé至BBC Music全面力捧伦敦90后天才唱作人最新专辑。 ★蓝调、灵魂、爵士、迷幻、庞克、嘻哈；下意识、印象派、梦与秽物，爱情。融合、融合、再融合。 2013年，Archy Marshall将最精华的作品通通献给他众多化名之一的King Krule，发表专辑《6 Feet Beneath the Moon》，20岁屁孩从此震撼全球各类型音乐人，他宛如Morrissey的月之暗面，可以满嘴粗俗脏话、也能自上流艺术与文学中有所情感触动。自The Smiths、《猜火车》到现在，伦敦（或整个人类世界）依旧向下沉沦，市井的无奈，被他写得美丽如奥德赛诗句。他是我们期待已久的新英雄。 大量巡回与各方邀约合作大量消耗他的精力，虽然和画家哥哥合作、结合诗与艺术书的专辑《A New Place 2 Drown》评价很好，但Archy仍遇上撞墙期，没有满意的作品足用King Krule为名发表，和Frank Ocean的合作因成果不佳亦无疾而终。他把注意力转向人类日常，一些下意识产出，如排泄物、耳垢、口水、鼻水、毛发，被人们当作污垢的东西，还有他的异国爱欲，充塞在脑袋中搅和，成就这张超现实意象、印象派音乐、意识流破碎语句、多国语系的新专辑。 《The OOZ》中传统结构的歌曲不多，艺术性很强，想听他招牌「Blue Wave」风格可以从专辑最末的〈The OOZ〉、〈Midnight 01 (Deep Sea Diver)〉、〈La Lune〉开始，爵士风味更强，色彩更蓝更黑；再深沉一点，〈Slush Puppy〉、〈Lonely Blue〉可以踏触到他的忧郁及苦痛，进而到焦躁的〈Emergency Blimp〉、〈Half Man Half Shark〉，像是Sonic Youth与Fela Kuti终于合作了一样。 与其说灵感枯竭困扰着Archy，他承认经历了一段心意没有得到回复的恋情，写在《The OOZ》的好几首歌曲当中，所以整张专辑更像是Archy的爱情悲歌。首支单曲〈Czech One〉的MV中，外着飞机窗外的他，如果你有真正爱过，你会懂他的表情，虽然痛，但沉溺且享受，没有尽头般地分泌浪漫激素。

《Pin Ups》是一张翻唱专辑，里面的歌曲来自The Pretty Things、Them、The Yardbirds、Pink Floyd、The Mojos、The Who、The Easybeats、The Merseybeats和The Kinks。 《Pin Ups》在David Bowie的音乐生涯中起了一种“技术性”指南的作用。这张all-covers专辑溢显了他在采用多重人格和效仿各种音乐类型时令人吃惊的速度和多样性方面的能力。它还表明了Bowie那时对那个十年里剩下日子音乐气候的提前展示，标志了60年代期间那些倍受追慕的音乐风格的一种转变。 Pink Floyd“See Emily Play”迷幻的泛音和Easybeats“Friday On My Mind”车库摇滚的愤世嫉俗完美地显示了Bowie的耳朵对旋律和他的眼光对流行文化的姿态。他甚至对他已日益建立起来的影响致别。The Kinks的“Where Have All The Good Times Gone”引起了他对思忆情歌（特别是Ray Davies式的）的兴趣，而通过The Who的“Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere”，Bowie打开了摇滚的自我。 《Pin Ups》对这个变色龙般的表演者来说还有另一个适合的作用，就是通过背叛自己的影响淡化了他异世界的形象。通过呈现Bowie为一个更现实的狂热者——而非仅仅是一个形象/类型操纵者，这张专辑把歌唱者塑造成了一个完全不同的人物，让他从自己向表演的接近中解脱出来，走出了他以往为自己创造的多重角色。

Mystery Jets are pleased to annouce their new album “Curve of the Earth” which will be released on Caroline International on Jan 22nd 2016. The album was recorded between summer 2013 & and summer 2015 in Stoke Newington in London.

◎入列「摇滚名人殿堂」和英国「音乐名人堂」伟大前卫摇滚乐团Pink Floyd灵魂传奇最新大碟 ◎继《Amused to Death》之后睽违近25年推出回归摇滚的概念大碟，探讨下一代的孩童安危问题，也触及现今社会乱象、充斥暴力恐惧的氛围 ◎耗时七年之久的筹备录音，再度力邀曾与Paul McCartney、U2、Radiohead合作的天王製作人Nigel Godrich掌舵，同时招揽Atoms For Peace的Joey Waronker等独立乐团好手助阵 Roger Waters, the creative power and songwriting force behind Pink Floyd, presents Is This The Life We Really Want ?, his first rock al bum in 25 years. The album is produced and mixed by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Paul McCartney, Beck, U2, "From the Basement"), and includes 12 new Roger Waters musical compositions and studio performances. Roger Waters' last studio album, 1992's Amused To Death, was a prescient study of popular culture, exploring the power of television in the era of the First Gulf War. This long-awaited follow-up, Is This The Life We Really Want ?, is an unflinching commentary on the modern world and uncertain times, and a natural successor to such classic Pink Floyd albums as Animals and The Wall. Tracks on Is This The Life We Really Want ? include: "When We Were Young," "Déjà vu," "The Last Refugee," "Picture That," "Broken Bones," "The Life We Really Want," "A Bird In A Gale," "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World," "Smell the Roses," "Wait For Her," "Oceans Apart," and "Part of Me Died." The lyrics for Wait for Her were written by Roger Waters and inspired by an English translation by an unknown author of "Lesson from the Kama Sutra (Wait for Her)," by Mahmoud Darwish. The musicians on Is This The Life We Really Want? are: Roger Waters (vocals, acoustic, bass), Nigel Godrich (arrangement, sound collages, keyboards, guitar), Gus Seyffert (bass, guitar, keyboards), Jonathan Wilson (guitar, keyboards), Joey Waronker (drums), Roger Mannning (keyboards), Lee Pardini (keyboards) and Lucius (vocals) with Jessica Wolfe and Holly Proctor.
