Sparklehorse genre: Folk
release date 1995-01-01 publisher: Capitol
Singer/songwriter/guitarist Mark Linkous began working as Sparklehorse in 1995 and, after a demo made its way to the offices of Capitol Records, he got signed to the label. Sparklehorse's 1996 acclaimed debut, Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot, is full of sad, beautiful, weird moments of spacey rural folk-rock and contains the alternative radio hit "Someday I Will Treat You Good". Dreamy arrangements, distorted vocals, and slivers of feedback add to Sparklehorse's down-to-earth melancholy and made Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot spontaneous, happy, sad, noisy, and quiet; like moments in life. This reissue comes with a bonus 7" containing "Waiting For Nothing" (ghost song in the original vinyl version) and "Happy Place" plus download card of the entire album.

有一年夏天,那时还住在电影学院的宿舍里,每晚选修课的时间同学们都会走光,房间只留下我一个人,连平日里最喧闹的楼道也因此得到了片刻宁静。我喜欢这样的时间并很珍惜,总是一个人坐在阳台上弹琴唱歌,对面是和我共同成长起来的操场工地,头顶有星星,很亮,有时还能看见云,抹着那种墨水般的纯蓝色。我被包裹在目力可及的校园内感觉安全十足,仿佛此刻我是远离喧嚣不被打扰的,我能听到只在这样的季节才会有的声音,不是一种,而是很多,忽近忽远、若即若离,汇成一条带着光芒的小河流向夜空。 那些日子总要等到天亮了才肯睡觉,睡前站在清晨的阳台上抽一支烟,望着西边天空带着声声鸟语被慢慢照亮,然后心满意足地爬上床,开始下一场旅行,再醒来已是黄昏。有时会下雨,彩虹像座桥,连到城市的另一个角落,那里有她。 回忆就是这样,让人刻骨铭心。 2007年初夏于龙翔路。

Oh Susanna
release date 2001-01-01 publisher: Catamount
歌手:Oh Susanna,原名Suzie Ungerleider,是一位在加拿大长大的美国女子,音乐风格游走在民谣和乡村音乐之间。 推荐:相信很多朋友都听过她的代表作品“forever at your feet”——选自她在2001年发行的《Sleepy Little Sailor》专辑,新专辑延续了她的一贯曲风,虽然没有多大突破,但可听性极强,炫音的朋友们不要错过了。 评论:oh susana的forever at your feet(永远追随) 整个音乐的背景是下雨的声音,加强了因痴情而伤感的氛围,包括歌者淡淡的而饱含感情的唱腔。这种配合天衣无缝。 雨声、雷声、钢琴声,缓缓的提琴声, 加上低吟的女声,潺潺的流水声…… 这样的音乐让我陷进一种情绪里不能自拔……[评论来自网络]

Lady & Bird genre: Folk
release date 2003-01-01 publisher: EMI
「Hello…你能听见我们吗?我们迷失了。」 Lady&Bird--->Keren Ann和Bradi Johannsson,一个是拥有多国血统的混血女创作人,一个是冰岛Trip-hop乐队Bang Gang的主唱。化身为Lady&Bird共同合作的一张同名专辑,优秀的女声出色的编曲。吉他加上一些柔软的和声,入耳是滑腻的,然而又不是一种甜腻,借用一句形容mum音乐的话就是:"于冰冷之处呵出温暖之花"女生合唱的吟或是拟声层次丰富而韵律感十足层层叠叠不犹让人想起莲花之类的东西一层层铺展开来,花瓣柔和呈现的同时清香出来了,浸入人心.很迷恋Lady Bird的和声,简洁明了,力度适宜,音乐不俗,转折或是高潮往往给人京戏不在该到的时候到来,我们终是喜欢在刺激或是未知中得到欢乐的. Lady Bird,是一支有阳光破碎声音的美丽乐队. Lady Bird. 或是Lady and Bird.... La Ballads of Lady & Bird Bird : Lady? Lady : Yes Bird? Bird : It's cold Lady : I know Lady : Bird... I cannot see a thing Bird : It's all in your mind Lady : I'm worried Bird : No one will come to see us Lady : Maybe they come but we just don't see them What do you see? Bird : I see what's outside Lady : And what exactly is outside? Bird : It's grown-ups Lady : Well maybe if we scream they can hear us Bird : Yeah, maybe we should try to scream Lady : Ok, Bird Lady & Bird : Heeeelp, Heeeelp Can you hear us now ? Hello ! Help ! Hello it's me Hey Can you see Can you see me I'm here Nana come and take us Hello Are you there Hello Lady : I don't think they can hear us Bird : I can hear you lady Bird : Do you want to come with me lady Lady : Will you be nice to me Bird Lady : You're always be nice to me because you're my friend Bird : I try but sometimes I make mistakes Lady : Nana says we all make mistakes Bird : Maybe we should scream more Lady : Yes, Bird let's scream more Lady & Bird : Help ! Help us ! Come on ! Help Hello ! Help Hello ! We're lost Lady : I think they cannot see us Bird : Nobody likes us Lady : But they all seem so big Bird : Maybe we should just jump Lady : What if we fall from the bridge and then nobody can catch us Bird : I don't know let's just see what happens Lady : Okay Bird : Come with me Lady : Shall we do it together Bird : Yeah Lady & Bird : 1 2 3....Aaaaaaah Bird : Lady? Lady : Yes Bird Bird : It's cold Lady : I know Lady : Bird...I cannot see a thing Bird : It's all in your mind 两个童音,如同鸟笼中稚鸟的对话,冷落,寂寞,伴随,冰凉这些词语没有出现 以上长段的歌词对白却在清脆滴水般透净的音乐中钝重地说明了一切. Lady只有Bird,Bird只有Lady. 阳光还是破碎的,来时的路已无法回去,破碎的割伤无法修 因为我们的经脉血管早已种下忧伤和苦痛. 即使有阳光,即使有"女士鸟"优雅地歌唱. 温温暖暖,悠悠闲闲,懒懒洋洋. 唱一束破碎婉转的午后阳光;转一轮无法回旋的岁月时长.

Damien Rice genre: Folk
release date 2006-11-06 publisher: Warner Music Group
Damien Rice在2003年发行了个人的首张专辑《O》,专辑刚发行,变让Damien Rice红遍了非主流音乐界。成为一位知名的唱作人。不但是国外,在我们中国Damien Rice的FANS也是相当的多,我记着前俩年,几乎各各论坛都会有人去发Damien Rice《O》专辑中的歌曲,简直可以用泛滥来形容。同时也让大家重新认识了Damien Rice所演绎的爱尔兰的音乐。这张新专辑命名为《9》,又是以极其简单的方式面向大家。新专辑《9》将在11月3号在爱尔兰首先发行,而后是11月6号将在英国和欧洲地区发行,最后的11月14号才会在美国正式发行。至于我们中国...估计2007年的11月吧。呵呵,玩笑话。来看看新专辑,整整10首歌曲。风格继续延续上张专辑的风格民谣,独流流行和Singer/ Songwriter。不同的是,这张专辑有2首非常突出的歌曲,分别是Rootless Trees和Me, My Yoke and I,突出之处在于别与他们以前的风格,这俩首歌曲特别摇滚,有点Indie Rock的感觉,听后,给我一种很新鲜的感觉,演绎的摇滚曲风原来也很不错。相对这张专辑的风格,我可以给这俩首歌曲满分。原因就是非常特别。剩下的歌曲,就是Damien Rice以往的风格,第一首歌曲9 Crimes,是一首以钢琴为主旋律配带着提琴的忧伤抒情歌曲,继续加上和Lisa Hannigan的女声和唱,专辑开篇便给我们一种熟悉的感觉,仿佛是上张专辑中的歌曲。专辑中Lisa Hannigan同样也参与了很多合声和合唱的部分。这点与上张仍然一样。Elephant是木吉他小调的歌曲,Damien Rice又在一次展示了他的嗓音,就像是清唱一样。专辑的最后一首是Sleep Don't Weep,一首近6分钟的歌曲,Damien Rice只演唱了小部分,接下来是Lisa Hannigan演唱了一小部分,剩下了结尾曲,在钢琴和Lisa Hannigan的合声中结束了整张专辑。 来自水手欧美音乐记录盒 (转verycd)
El Radio

Chris Garneau genre: Folk
release date 2009-07-07 publisher: 声演坊 口袋唱片
Piano and pop don’t mix- at least that’s the conventional wisdom with regard to “popular” music. Yet Chris Garneau defies expectations. Since releasing his debut album Music for Tourists in 2006, he has consistently proven that in the hands of a capable musician, 88 keys can indeed, be cool to listen to. Two years later, he’s back with a sophomore album El Radio and far from slumping. The record is a orchestra of sounds capturing emotional highs and lows- more lows than highs. Aside from the aforementioned orchestra, the record is an orchestra of symphonics, cello, and of course Garneau’s own piano. “Dirty Night Clown” finds Garneau and friends rocking cello and drums to an atonal, discordant beat. “No More Pirates” is an upbeat, horn laden ditty about forgiveness. On “Fireflies,” Garneau channels his inner Tin Pan Alley artist, composing a tale of musical suspicion worthy of an off-Broadway play. Foghat this is not. Despite the eclectic nature of the record, the album does have its downsides. The eerie tone and subject matter of the songs (several deal with death- natural or otherwise) may turn off audiences who are more used to upbeat faire from Top 40 than introverted, complicated songwriting. There are sleepers too. The slow strumming of “Raw and Awake” is more lullaby than pop song. Yet this is an exception to the rule. Though the album is far from upbeat, overall the record speaks to the diverse range of Garneau’s material. From instrumental tracks to Tin Pan Alley style songs, there is little that he is incapable of. Far from being typical singer-songwriter faire, the album is a sonic expression of our common emotionality- both good and bad. While “El Radio” may not be for everyone, it is certainly worth paying attention to- even if it is macabre at times。

虽然这是Chris Garneau的第一张唱片,但却丝毫没有生涩的感觉,相反,歌曲散发的魅力是很有深蕴的,足可以让人沉醉。他走的风格路线还是比较低迷的,伤情的,是一张听了可以让你跟着沉沦的唱片。歌曲的伴奏主要以钢琴为主,甚至常常一首歌曲只有钢琴在游走,虽然简单,不过就在简 单之中,给了听众最直接最简洁的触动。

美丽的心碎,晶莹剔透的忧伤,带来神奇的愈疗能量;麦斯米兰歌曲里的美丽与哀愁,舒缓了生命中所有紧张与不安。张悬、苏打绿、杨乃文竭力推荐! 2007年即将登陆内地陪你一起感动落泪。 聆听伤心的声音,男人也可以如此深情忧伤而美丽——来自德国的麦斯米兰,用气若游丝、伤感迷离的嗓音,和之以深沉唯美的古典钢琴、悠扬的电子乐、清新的木吉他和偶尔肆虐的失真音效,打造出忧郁绝望的唯美情歌。这张精选集由麦斯米兰亲自选曲。从过去四张专辑挑出14首最动人的经典作品。在这些作品里,你可以感爱到麦斯米兰充满了对温暖怀抱的渴求;在高潮起伏的澎湃情感里,他轻声勾勒的吉他、朦胧的梦幻音效,织成一张仿佛梦境中才得见的美丽锦缎。他的情歌既围绕着爱与幸福的感觉,也包含着麻木、死亡、寂寥、失落的阴沉情绪。在夜阑人静时聆听,他宛如在你耳边低语,感觉是多么的亲昵;曾经受伤的人,会在他的声音中,印证心中曾有过的隐约哀痛;未曾受伤的人,聆听着麦斯米兰,也必然会对人世间复杂的情感,有了超验的感悟。

The Weepies genre: Folk
release date 2008-04-22 publisher: Nettwerk Records
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.

Agnes Kain genre: Folk
release date 2007-09-25 publisher: Phantom Sound & Vision
《Keep Walking or I'll Kill You》不但有一个有趣的专辑名字,还有着让人舒适的旋律。Agnes Kain ,如果你只听到歌声,不查阅信息的话,你只会觉得是一名唱独立流行的女艺人。其实Agnes Kain是一只来自澳洲的俩人组合,一男一女。Chanelle Afford和Stefan Simunic 。他们从小一起张大,在澳大利亚的悉尼,在同一个小镇,同一条街上。因为这样,他们制造出的音乐像每个人的好朋友那样,有一种亲密与舒适感。《Keep Walking or I'll Kill You》这张专辑的歌曲均由Chanelle Afford和Stefan Simunic俩人制作完成,并且录制于他们的Spare Room,也就是为个人准备的卧室。音乐除了基本的三件套外,乐器中外加钢琴,钟琴,敲打乐器,曼陀林(一种拨弦乐器),Melodica(是一种外型类似电子键盘的音效乐器,可以模仿手风琴,口琴等音效,有很多艺人使用这种乐器,如Oasis的Paul Arthurs,Sufjan Stevens,The Decembrists ,The Go!Team的Kaori Tsuchida等等)。除了这些还有他们的朋友Anne Samuels 帮助他们,演奏中提琴。Agnes Kain的风格就是活泼的旋律加上舒适的演唱,听者除了心情很放松外,很直接的可以体会到那种朋友之间的亲密友情,爱人之间的甜蜜爱情,还有童年那种无限天真活泼的气息。这些东西Agnes Kain很直白的从专辑封面中给大家反映出来,接着又是歌曲的名字,如Puddles & Mud,You Will Be Loved, & Hated,My Brother Told Me,Keep Walking or I'll Kill You,Our New, Happy Life等。简单而不空虚的生活气息体现的淋淋尽致。随着歌曲的顺序,有时开心,有是悲伤,有时憧憬,有时迷茫。不是富丽堂皇,而是那种简约的五颜六色生活,有苦,有甜。生活由音乐来表现,音乐则源于生活。这就是Chanelle Afford,Stefan Simunic 俩人的音乐思想,因为他们的音乐就完成于有大雨,有极热的天气,也有凉爽的微风,有朋友的帮助,有自己的温馨的卧室,以及从小到大的他与她。 Text: soulpower Post Date: 2007.11.19
