Brutalism

Idles genre: Rock
release date 2017-05-26 publisher: Balley Records
Bristol's finest post-punk polemics Idles have been promising to do great things for some time now, and with their debut album Brutalism, they absolutely fulfill that promise, a furious promise at that. Politically charged, refreshingly confrontational, and infectiously volatile, Idles are a band like no other. Bringing the unsettling reality of the world we live in into their frantic assault on the senses, they are a band that until now could only be truly understood by witnessing in a live environment. But with Brutalism, it surely feels like they have captured the intensity of that live sound. Bottled up here are the abrasive, memorable lyrics of Joseph Talbot delivered with all of the spite and wry humor he puts across on the stage. Dedicated in part to the loss of his mother, who adorns the record's cover, and partly to a perceived decimation of society, from the NHS to public services across Britain, Brutalism is a deadly serious indictment on popular culture.

Howie Lee genre: Electronic
release date 2021-04-16 publisher: 独立发行
Beijing-based producer Howie Lee is releasing his first album of the year via Mais Um Discos on April 16th. Influenced by Taoist music, Buchla synths and seminal London party FWD>>, Birdy Island sees Lee, who is known for club-ready anthems, taking a more downtempo approach. He worked with a four-piece choir made up of himself, West By West, Beijing artist Fishdoll and Shanghai-based singer/producer Yehaiyahan. The eight-track LP spans ambient, jazz and traditional Chinese folk. "Birdy Island to me is a palace in the clouds and the birds are worshipped like Gods," says Lee. "Not like a western God though." According to his vision, this symbolic structure was built by a Chinese investment company that invites Lee to compose the venue's soundtrack.

B**
此处标志着大量民族记号的退位,象征着更为广泛土地元素的引介,对应着跳脱出刻意“刺激”的范式。“在不知道他是中国人时”,音乐根源的归属得到了更为模糊广泛的解。带着几分下里巴人直接冲入爵士氛围内,倒也得出了另外一种实验气息。

Rapsody genre: Hip Hop

Rapsody has seen a pretty meteoric rise to success over the past couple years ever since she first appeared on Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly cut “Complexion” back in 2015. Since then, the female North Carolina rapper has made quite the name for herself following the success of her Crown EP last year and landing herself a deal with Roc Nation last Summer. While having remained relatively quiet for the most part of 2017, with exception to a couple #JamRocFriday releases this Summer, Rapsody is ready to change all that here today as she comes through with the release of her new album Laila’s Wisdom after weeks of anticipation and promotion.

超级市场 genre: Electronic
release date 2017-12-29 publisher: 摩登天空
超级市场第八张专辑正式发行 《德先生与赛先生》输赢未卜 1997年,超级市场乐队成立,成为中国第一支电子乐队,用情绪包裹数字冰冷的外壳,创造出物质与人性交战的世纪之声。二十年后,“超市体系”再次启动,以乐队的第八张专辑《德先生与赛先生》向时代发出新的追问。 二十年,超级市场如同一个清醒的旁观者,以极其低调的姿态保持与时代同轨。每一张专辑,都如同一面镜子,跟随时代起伏,映照稍纵即逝的情绪。如果说2014年后发行的两张专辑——《Blackeclipse墨蚀》和《有限无限》为我们呈现出超市电流的新流向,成为“超市体系”进入更纯粹的电音世界的标志,那么《德先生与赛先生》则是超级市场以高维度音乐向科技时代遁入的空虚感投射出的一次深刻审视。 不同于过去所有专辑,《德先生与赛先生》中,对人类情感的描绘不再为专辑主线,取而代之的是科技与氛围营造出的灰色精神空洞。《Siri》与《贝尔特》中,Techno如同一块灰色的阴影,笼罩于世界上空。冷峻循环的律动层层递进,现代科技如同病毒一般,源源不断传送至人的体内。“很抱歉,项目建议我最好不要谈论自己的存在形式。”,采样中Siri毫无感情的回答让听者不寒而栗。由感染走向病入膏肓的过程,在《病》与《激变》中化作Glitch的漩涡,田鹏痛苦模糊的人声在其间转动。《疾怨》黑色的节奏充满机械感,Trip-hop将人类情感抽空,留下沉重的肉体躯壳在痛苦里徒劳挣扎。而站在世界彼端的《旁观者》则低垂下眼眸,用钢琴为垂死之人演奏起深沉的哀悼曲。扭曲的数码音效在《三月》中堆叠,与《十月》开阔的吉他形成一个完整而充满生机的光环。直至《无语》和《自始至终》揭开虚幻光明下的真相,氛围仿佛宿命一般走回寒冷与黑暗。冰冷的节奏下,极具先锋实验性的电子噪音泛起无规则波浪,低频涌至耳畔,又渐渐消退,迷失在Minimal射频苍白的噪音里。 这是一张令人惊叹的专辑。超级市场用层次与结构将画面感与精神内核植入冷漠循环的数码音效,充满戏剧张力地揭开《德先生与赛先生》背后的深意,抛出意味深长的问号——科技如洪水猛兽般吞噬情感的时代,人类终将何去何从?

艾敬 genre: Pop
release date 2003-01-01 publisher: 中国音乐家音像出版社
艾敬的第五张个人专辑《是不是梦》九月将由星文文化有限公司在全国出版发行。这张专辑从2002年7月中旬开始在伦敦进行录音,直到2003年3月录制完成。期间艾敬往返伦敦和纽约两次。在纽约,艾敬拍摄了专辑所有照片及两首MV。在这张新专辑里,艾敬创作了整张专辑的词、曲、演唱并担任制作人。和从前不同的是,由于是在伦敦录音,艾敬不仅要决定整张专辑的主题及音乐风格,还要选择另一位联合制作人,并把选择乐手的权力交给这位联合制作人。在录制过程中,艾敬与她英国的联合制作人Richard及伦敦当地的优秀乐手的合作是一次非常刺激而又愉快的经验。艾敬以其独特的东方创作精神与英式音乐的独创性、不拘泥和包容性溶合在一起,使这两种同样神秘而深远的文化相结合。为了烘托艾敬在创作的音乐里的都市感,在后期加入一些电子音色及节奏,使这张专辑的表达更加完美。 艾敬从《我的1997》出发,录制了《艳粉街的故事》、《追月》和《MADE IN CHINA》。艾敬的每张专辑都是在不同的国家不同的城市录制的。在上一张专辑《MADE IN CHINA》于洛杉矶制作完成后,艾敬就把下一次的音乐旅行设在了伦敦。艾敬不仅实现了她自己在音乐上的执着和梦想。也将成为国内原创音乐发展中的一个闪光点。新专辑里的音乐呈现出了都市民谣加电子音乐,又有一些古典诗意外带卡通的虚幻世界色彩。《是不是梦》是专辑里最重要的主打歌之一,也是艾敬新专辑的名称。艾敬说:“十多年的音乐旅程像是一场梦一样。我从未想到音乐给自己带来如此广阔的世界。而随着时间的流逝,带走了一些旧的也注入了一些新的,在季节的变化中交替成长。尽管我很幸运,很天真,也曾经迷茫和失落。但我一直在寻找生活的意义,我从未放弃。梦既是过去的也是未来的,梦会继续做。”。 这张专辑在内容上和以往不同的是它更都市化,国际化,作品里充满了人文气质和诗意。如她在《水牛66》里唱道:“你的嘴唇,我的眼睫毛,刚刚好。”和《纽约纽约》中的“NEW YORK,YOU ARE MY CUP OF COFFEE。” (纽约,你是我的一杯咖啡)。艾敬用诗化的语言记述了她对事物的特殊看法。艾敬这一次的创作主题是“爱与失去”。以及激情与迷茫。作为都市人对未来主题的探讨,艾敬创作了以“绿色环保”为主题的《你是我的天使》。艾敬相信有天使,提倡绿色和平。《你是我的天使》这首歌是艾敬首次尝试用键盘来创作的歌曲,并由国内著名制作人三宝编曲,使这首歌既充满了古典的浪漫气息又具有现代流行音乐元素。艾敬带着这样一张具有国际水准的专辑回到她阔别已久的内地乐坛,在北京成立了自己的音乐工作室,她的诚意与才华都是不容质疑的。那些默默支持着她的乐迷们给予她的鼓励也增加了艾敬“一定要做好音乐”的信心。这一次艾敬带着分享与感激的心情把她这几年在音乐生活中的感情都实现在这张专辑里,并期待着与你们一起分享的那个时刻。在此,艾敬及艾敬音乐工作室的全体成员真心地向全国电台媒体说一声谢谢,感谢你们在幕后为国内原创音乐所做的一切!同时也希望你们能够喜欢并支持艾敬的这张新专辑。
