2000 年春天，唱作人陳綺貞發行第二張專輯《還是會寂寞》，繼續以獨特的生活態度、清新的音樂風格打動歌迷。此張專輯中，除了熟識的民謠，還加入了 Bossa Nova 及電子音樂等元素，讓陳綺貞的清新風格變得不一樣。但這些突破並沒有顯得造作，音樂依然簡單，陳綺貞依然率真。主打作品《還是會寂寞》，更是打動了無數少男少女的心。

“硬地”如方寸之地，万物皆流而它独止。这个概念也透露出独立音乐（indie）的从容态度。 这次刘惜君和杨海崧的合作，是破界——一个是从09年《快乐女声》五强步入流行乐坛，拥有独立气质的流行歌手，音乐制作人；一个是国内独立音乐先锋，传奇乐队P.K.14的主脑、“兵马司”厂牌主理人。同时也是一场实验：《硬地之美》意在宣示独特美学，将不同气质的美融合，诠释出新。 杨海崧敏锐的诗人气质和对独立摇滚的热爱，为他担纲词曲的三首创作注入灵魂，而刘惜君的柔韧歌唱，无疑是对这些色彩暗郁，却内核光亮的独白的共鸣——她是这本摇滚诗集一位不同寻常的解读者。 《硬地之美》的录音班底也一定会让一些独立摇滚乐迷眼前一亮：见证P.K.14、脑浊、Subs等多支乐队成长的施旭东，低调另类摇滚乐队The Molds的李子超，一同用Bass和鼓输出节奏能量；杨海崧和兵马司旗下新锐鸟撞乐队的文予真担任吉他手；而同二人都有过合作、来自噪音迷幻乐队Alpine Decline的柴德林和牟建华，用合成器为作品构建出纵深的梦境空间。

若要拍攝賈木許版本的《南國再見，南國》 配樂一定會選擇Angel Baby 民歌運動之前，台灣受西洋音樂影響很深，當時所謂的輕音樂大概是指曲調輕快好記憶，可以放鬆、當作社交跳舞用的音樂。如果能弄到一把電吉他彈奏一曲The Ventures，似乎又更靠近「西方墮落的生活方式」一步。 2015年，台北有一組叫Angel Baby的樂團出現，由落日飛車鼓手羅尊龍擔綱主唱並演奏吉他，還有前馬克白團員蘇聖揚，以及來自英、美，在台多年的音樂人Reider Larsen、John Stephenson等人，融合衝浪搖滾、德式泡菜搖滾等西方元素，在舞台上仿佛唱著謝雷當年剛走紅的歌曲，卸下少男少女邂逅時的心防，輕鬆搖擺。2016年隨即獨立製作11首歌曲、限量100份的燒錄光碟《Wabi Sabi》，搶購一空，還吸引一票日韓樂迷。 Angel Baby跨越時空的復古風情，「唱自己的歌」顯得是再自然不過的事情，生活在這片土地，就會有我們的曲調。2018年，《Wabi Sabi》重新後製，正式壓片發行。

自主制作でひっそりと出された一枚目のアルバム以降も、変わらずマイペースな活動を続けて来たミツメ。 今年春にリリースされたカセットテープ・シングルでは、郷愁を誘うフォーク・サイケロックを見せた1stアルバムから大きく方向転換。シンセサイザー・リズムマシンを取り入れたスペーシーな SF・ポップスを展開し、話題を集めました。 その流れを汲み、メンバー4人がそれぞれの興味を追求する中で、さらに多様なアプローチを貪欲に取り入れていった本作は、 ダブからシンセポップ、ファンクチューンまで実に多様な楽曲が収録されています。 S.F、ニューウェーブ、特撮、80年代…そんなものが今回のキーワードになっているそう。 近年の海外インディーにも接近しながら、日本語で歌われる素朴な歌と、どこか歪で間抜けな質感は、ここにしかないサウンドではないでしょうか。 また、本作も前回に引き続き、作曲、アレンジ、録音・ミックスに至るまで、メンバーと彼らの友人であるエンジニアを加えた5人のみで制作されているようです。 実験性と冒険心に溢れた4人組の動向に、今後も眼が離せません。

Angus & Julia Stone来自澳大利亚悉尼的兄妹组合。ANGUS的声线是清新的男声，像春天清爽的风，一个有想法的男孩真絷的表达。JULIA的声音则像是一个充满愁绪的小女孩喃喃地向你诉说与要求，他们的音乐轻快，富有想像力，每一首的可听性都很高，是真正热爱音乐的人才能做出的音乐。

ミディレコード在籍時にリリースされた共作名義を含むすべてのシングルを集め、2枚組にまとめた作品集が発売されます。 『おなじ話』をはじめ、表題曲はこれまでのアルバムに収録されたものとは異なったバージョンが多数。カップリング曲はほぼすべてがアルバム未収録曲となります。 また今回、プロモーション用に配布されただけの音源やリハーサル時に録音したデモ音源、まったくの未発表曲などをボーナストラック的に初商品化。 全編で2時間を越える、ボリュームたっぷりの作品集です。

樂團成立於2011年，當時的主創塩塚モエカ還在讀高一。樂隊的活動因學業考試等原因多次暫停，成員也幾更變換，終於在2017年2月確立了目前的三人組，分別是主唱與吉他手塩塚モエカ，貝斯手ゆりか，鼓手福田ひろ。 「羊文學」這個有點奇怪的名字來自於塩塚小時候喜歡的一個日本搖滾樂隊S.R.S（Sleeping Rag Sheep），於是她決定樂隊名字中必須有個「羊」，她又覺得樂隊想表達的不僅僅是音樂，於是加上了「文學」二字。

Last year, the wounded, starry-eyed San Francisco indie-pop group Girls released their debut album Album and made our year-end top 10. Before this year is up, they'll follow Album with a brand new EP. Broken Dreams Club is out November 22 on True Panther. Broken Dreams Club includes six songs and lasts 30 minutes. JR White, Girls' instrumental guru, recorded it at the band's own home studio. And according to the music-selling site Interpunk, where you can now pre-order the EP, Broken Dreams Club features "a more massive, lusher sound with horns, pedal steel and psychedelic effects dappled throughout." Listen to the first mp3 from the EP, "Heartbreak", for yourself at the True Panther blog.

Alice Phoebe Lou’s fiercely independent approach to her music has given the singer songwriter a creative confidence that shines through in her captivating vocals and stripped back music. Born in South Africa and having developed her ethereal indie-folk sound busking the streets of Berlin, Alice has caught the ears of a community of music lovers the world over with her honest storytelling and raw, beautiful voice. Producer Noah Georgeson directed the recording sessions for over two weeks, helping Alice’s find the constellation of each song that felt right for her. Him and Samur (engineer) had immediately synergy with the band which made the days creating the album flow with ease. They helped each musician track their best performances. The final part of recording the album saw Alice and Noah honing down her vocals at Seahorse Studio in LA. Noah Georgeson also mixed the album.

by Tim DiGravina After the glorious pop masterpieces that were the Trash Can Sinatras' first two albums, A Happy Pocket is a bit of a letdown. Murky production, strange vocal effects that obscure Francis Reader 's delicate voice, and an over-reliance on mandolin overdubs make for a generally less than engaging listen. That doesn't mean that there aren't some fine additions to the Trash Can canon, as "The Safecracker," "Twisted & Bent," "How Can I Apply...?," and "The Therapist" are absolutely sublime. One gets the sense that the album was only half complete upon its release. Indeed, a rotating bevy of mixers and engineers are credited with various batches of the songs. At least one-third of the album comes across like a collection of fleshless demos. Particularly stale is the amateurish cover of "To Sir With Love" that sounds as if it was recorded underwater with Reader half-asleep. A Happy Pocket is certainly more subdued than the band's earlier albums, but that's not what makes it disappointing. It's as if the band took a step backward, stripped down their trademark jangling guitars, and decided to rely on studio polish in place of their usually stellar hooks. Had it not been for the stunning musicianship and energy of the previous albums, A Happy Pocket would probably be more enjoyable. But outside of the occasional gems, as stellar as they are, A Happy Pocket lags far behind the band's earlier output due to poor sequencing, some sloppy production choices, and a lack of editing prowess. Had the album been edited down to five or six songs, it would have made a fine mini-album.

The band is currently completing their upcoming fifth album, titled In the Music. Fourteen songs were recorded between 15 November 2007 and 8 December 2007 with producer Andy Chase at Stratosphere Sound in New York. This was followed up with recording sessions in Martha's Vineyard in January and February 2008, and Stratosphere Sound in New York in March and May 2008. In July 2008, Carly Simon recorded backing vocals for the song "Should I Pray?". The band expects the album to be released in early 2009. A single, "Oranges and Apples", was released as a download-only single on 13 October 2008. The song was inspired by Syd Barrett, one of the founding members of Pink Floyd. The single was released in connection with The City Wakes, a festival taking place in Cambridge and London in October 2008. The festival is a tribute to Barrett and intended to raise funds and awareness for mental health issues and the arts. The band is donating proceeds from the download to the Syd Barrett charitable trust.

角头004号 搖滾已死了嗎？走出一片七○及八○年代的紫色迷霧，這一代九○搖滾團體吃足了滋養的奶水，長出怎樣的嬰兒？在四分衛的這張專輯裡，我們彷彿聽見一種屬於台灣音樂搖滾氣味和長大成熟的收割歡欣。 成軍七年，他們見證玩團風潮完整始末，音樂風格等於是一部台灣樂團史從一開始引起風潮的歐洲合唱團、槍與玫瑰………到現在的一片日本視覺風。四分衛的音樂在優游於其間，落地生根而開花結成繁盛的果實。 欣見不再是【樂團合輯之王】的他們，在這個完全百分百製作的唱片中，終於有了自己的旋律。從創作、情緒、唱法、內容，都佈滿了張狂的生命力。
