New Zealander Nadia Reid's music traces the sharp mountain peaks, azure coastline, and mirrored images of the land and sky that pinpoint her home country’s vast open landscapes. 18 months and 10,000kms travelled since many needles first dropped on her debut LP Listen To Formation Look For The Signs, Nadia's vision has widened on new album Preservation, whilst throwing a fresh perspective on the beauty of her homeland. “originality from old forms” **** MOJO "Reid is a remarkably talent, assured, clever and confident singer-songwriter..... a devastating youthful wisdom that gives her songs a feeling of lasting profundity." The Guardian “For a new artist, her confident grace is all the more remarkable” Pitchfork

美式本格Indie Rock传人Kurt Vile薯叔，到底是用了甚么魔法让2015葛莱美最佳新进艺人提名的澳洲姐接Courtney Barnett还有Dirtry Three、Warpaint、Mick Harvey一同曼妙高歌？ 或许一切都是某种契合的缘分，近两三年，屡屡掳获各方媒体乐评一致赞扬，视年终榜如自家客厅来去自如的澳籍独立民谣摇滚歌手Courtney Barnett和来自美国费城Kurt Vile出乎外界意料地在2017年3月间传出两人已开始默默共同进行谱写制作一张合作专辑。 不过事情可能都要回溯到2015年当Kurt Vile撰写首支单曲〈Over Everything〉时便已经开始幻想Barnett会合他一起唱这首歌，果然十几个月过后，Vile的计划成真，两人携手在录音间前后花了八天的时间完成整张专辑录音，除了单曲请来曾为King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard执导过的Danny Cohen负责拍摄外，两人不仅在影像中相互扮演对方的演唱角色外，两人还各翻唱对方或其友人的老歌，此外Barnett的一首〈Outta the Woodwork〉还请来澳洲后摇名团Dirty Three两名大老吉他手Mick Turner和鼓手Jim White、摇滚浪子Mick Harvey和Warpaint乐团的Stella Mozgawa等友人特别客串，等同当今澳洲独立音乐场景精锐尽出，使得这张专辑在预售前便已造成各方注目。 事实上，这对有着共同喜好、习性的歌手有着很多共同之处，Vile擅长以写实主义手法唱出美式乡村民谣的歌曲，Barnett则在他2016年的首张专辑《Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit》展现了她描绘日常生活的荒谬诙谐著称，同时两人均是当今独立摇滚界最好的说故事者，冷面笑匠及真挚的歌手。此番两人临时共组的可爱副计划，纵使整张专辑有一半的歌曲算是重新诠释的翻唱歌曲，但恰如一篇乐评说的好，在每首听似悠缓曲调背后所散发的，永远是他们两人笔下所勾勒出的荒谬与现实，再佐以一种诗意的的迷人魅力共冶于一炉。（Ricardo） KURT VILE: We ran into each other on the road in various continents and talked about the recordings. I guess it wasn’t till i had another tour booked for the following summer in Australia that we thought we should record as much as we can, no major goal to make it a full length but it came together that way because the vibe was so strong. I love working with Courtney, the collaboration was laid back with less pressure. COURTNEY BARNETT: Now we nished the album, we dreamt up an amazing band which we’ve called THE SEA LICE (inspired by a Stella Mozgawa beach-side-story) and me n Kurt will be standing there out front with our guitars singing songs together. Songs from this album we did, a handful of our own songs from previous albums, maybe some old folk songs n what not. Harmonies and guitarmonies galore. Very collaborative. Lotta Sea Lice is the result of 8 days in the studio spread over almost 15 months when Courtney and Kurt’s respective touring schedules allowed for them to be in the same place at the same time.

FLOWER BOY, is the new and long awaited album from Tyler, The Creator. The album follows up 2015's Cherry Bomb, and is available digitally and on CD. The first track and self-directed video to be released from FLOWER BOY was "Who Dat Boy" featuring A$AP Rocky, along with a second track "911/Mr. Lonely," which feature Steve Lacy and Frank Ocean, respectively. FLOWER BOY is a 14-song album, and the physical version of the CD features two unique covers, the first one designed by Tyler himself and the other by artist Eric White. It is only fitting that Tyler would commission White, whose paintings have been described by Leah Ollman of The Los Angeles Times as being "nostalgic and at the same time also vaguely futuristic, even dystopian," to visually articulate the world of FLOWER BOY.

2017 release, the debut album from the Washington, D.C.-based band. Recorded in the fall of 2016, the record is the culmination of two years' writing, touring, tweaking, and refining. Throughout that time the band has carved out an existence on it's own terms, performing mostly all-ages shows booked via a network of like-minded artists both within and outside punk communities. The album represents a major step forward for Priests. It's the bands most stylistically diverse set of songs to date, expanding on their lo-fi post-punk bona-fides with ideas drawn from pop, R&B, and industrial noise. Thematically, Nothing can be understood as a series of vignettes-nine stories that crystallize into a bigger picture about the economics of human relationships, the invisibility of feminized labor, and the dual purpose of art for both the group and the individual. Priests are Daniele Daniele (drums), Katie Alice Greer (vocals), G.L. Jaguar (guitar), and Taylor Mulitz (bass). Formed in 2011, the band has proven a valuable force for strangeness in a city that is increasingly terraformed by norms. More significantly, they've helped to raise the general standard of show-going at home through cassettes and singles released on Sister Polygon, including music by bands like Sneaks, Snail Mail, Pinkwash, Cigarette, Downtown Boys, and numerous Priests-affiliated groups like Gauche and Flasher. Still, even amidst thriving hometown creativity, Priests possess a singular gravity. They are physical and combustible, urgent and visceral.

"AFTER LAUGHTER" was recorded at Nashville's historic RCA Studio B - Paramore's first time recording in their own beloved hometown. The album is produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen and Paramore's own Taylor York. "AFTER LAUGHTER" also marks the return of original member Zac Farro back to the band.

Rocket is Alex G’s 8th full-length—an assured statement that follows a slate of humble masterpieces, stretching to his 2015 Domino debut, Beach Music. Amid recording, Alex made headlines for catching the attention of Frank Ocean; playing guitar on his two 2016 albums, Endless and Blonde. More than stylistic cues, what Alex took from the experience was a confidence in collaboration. Rocket wears this collaborative spirit proudly, and in its numerous contributors presents a restless sense of musical experimentation, effortlessly jumping from sound collage to dreamy folk to bouncing Americana.

Lyrically and sonically, Resistance is a huge leap forward for Songhoy Blues, a musical snapshot of a band at the top of their game. Richer, more eclectic and musically adventurous, it captures a band who, for the last three years, have toured the world and soaked up music far beyond the borders of their native Mali. With more time and a wider armoury of equipment at their disposal, the album is the sound of Songhoy Blues stretching themselves, with hints of R&B, soul and hip-hop all fusing seamlessly with the band’s trademark exuberant sound, with themes for our time. Whereas their debut was lyrically rather parochial, dealing with the problems faced by the people of Mali, the new album is more universal in tone and speaks positively about their homeland, lovingly talking about the beauty of the Sahara and night-life in Bamako.

有本书这样描述煤的形成。有些树木凋落了，被埋在地下，漫长的时间过去了，他们经受着强烈的外力挤压，最终变成了煤。而另一些树，被埋在更深的地方，经历了更漫长的时间和更剧烈的挤压。他们变成了钻石。 我没以为我是钻石，或是什么大天才临世。我还没那么狂妄。我的心智基本成熟。我相信这唱片是一粒煤。我为此而荣幸。尤其是在这个遍地塑料制品，缺少基本的爱和耐心的年代。我想我经受过那些挤压，坚持了下来，我没有回避那些痛苦。于是，我不用刻意做什么，他们都会释放在音乐里。是的，我在写歌时，在编曲时，感觉到了他们。他们都在那儿。我知道，我等了10年，就是在等这些时刻。 我不是一个自觉的人，如果重来一次，我也未必有勇气把这些年的遭遇再经历一遍。一切都是老天爷的安排。他如此慷慨，给予了厄运病痛曲折。我想，我还会继续做音乐，但也许我不会再有一张情感这么强烈的唱片了。 半年前，写过一个消失了的weibo，想叙述一下当时的处境。那时，倒计时已开始，眼前是一张无从下手的不如意的唱片，和一堆刚数清字数又不知所云的歌词。weibo的结尾是这样的：每次，一想到，可能再也找不到那个最好的，就会一下焦躁起来，陷入失控。但又想到，这的确就是目前的我自己，便心安了一些。 --- 朴树 STAFF 词曲lyrics & music ：朴树 （《平凡之路》词：朴树 / 韩寒） 制作人 producer：朴树 （《在木星》《Forever Young》Producer：Cass Love / Eliot James / 朴树） 联合制作人co-producer：张亚东 / 泊宁 配唱联合制作人 Vocal co-producer：卢楠 混音 mixed by：颜仲坤 / 张亚东 人声录音师：卢楠 封面设计 ：法满 录音室：Eastcoast / The Bridge / Megawave / 家 封面视觉设计 ：法满 / Lens

2017 release, the sixth album from the British folk snger/songwriter. Semper Femina is an intimate, devoted exploration of femininity and female relationships, and among her finest work to date. Written largely on the tour that followed 2015's Short Movie and recorded in Los Angeles with production from Blake Mills, it is at once a distinctive and musically compelling collection of songs, run through with Marling's fierce intelligence; a keen, beautiful and unparalleled take on womanhood. Laura's debut album Alas, I Cannot Swim, her second album I Speak Because I Can, and her fourth album Once I Was an Eagle were each nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2008, 2010, and 2013, respectively. She won the Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist at the 2011 Brit Awards, and was nominated for the same award at the 2012, 2014 and 2016 Brit Awards.
