Dylan Baldi maintains simple, admirable standards in quality. “A thing I like to do with all of my records is drive around with them,” the 25-year-old Cloud Nothings frontman says. “In high school, I would listen to music for hours like that: just driving through the suburbs of Cleveland. And if it sounds good to me in that context and I can think of high school me listening to it and saying, ‘That’s okay,’ I feel good about the record. This is the one that’s felt best.” “This” is Life Without Sound, the radiant, far-far-better-than-okay fourth full-length his rock outfit has recorded since he began writing and releasing songs on his own under the Cloud Nothings alias in 2008. While its highly acclaimed predecessor—2014’s Here and Nowhere Else—came together spontaneously, in the little time that touring allowed, Life Without Sound took shape under far less frenetic circumstances. For more than a year, Baldi was able to write these songs and flesh out them out with his bandmates—drummer Jayson Gerycz and bassist TJ Duke—before they finally joined producer John Goodmanson (Sleater Kinney, Death Cab for Cutie) at Sonic Ranch in El Paso, Texas, for three weeks in March of 2016. The result is Baldi’s most polished and considered work to date, an album that speaks to his evolving gift with melody while also betraying the sort of perspective that time provides. You can hear it in the aerodynamic guitar pop of “Modern Act,” and feel it in the devastating wisdom of “Internal World,” a lullaby-like howler that dwells on “the fact that being yourself can be uncomfortable and even potentially dangerous at times.” “Generally, it seems like my work has been about finding my place in the world,” Baldi says. “But there was a point in which I realized that you can be missing something important in your life, a part you didn't realize you were missing until it's there—hence the title. This record is like my version of new age music,” he adds. “It’s supposed to be inspiring.” It is.

She's Calling EP

Octo Octa genre: Electronic
release date 2021-02-05 publisher: T4T LUV NRG
For our forth release, T4T LUV NRG present an e.p. of two beautiful songs and one evocation by label co-founder, DJ, and producer Octo Octa (Maya Bouldry-Morrison). “She’s Calling” is the third piece in Octo Octa’s two-year exploration of the connection between music and ritual, closing the loop on themes explored on her “For Lovers” ep (Technicolour, 2019) and full-length album “Resonant Body” (T4T LUV NRG, 2019). While many describe dance music in terms of escape, for Octo Octa and many others like her, dance music is about connection. The connections we feel on a dancefloor are transformative, but in time spent alone, dance music remains a powerful tool for connection with nature, with ourselves, and with something ineffable that feels like magic. The title track, “Goddess Calling,” captures a moment of such revelry, a result of the union of sound and ritual. Maya wrote the second song, “Find Your Way Home,” in early 2020, a few weeks before she cancelled her tour and headed back to the States because of the pandemic. She originally intended the title as a metaphor, the journey being internal, but the title would prove to be prescient. She made the song in order to take a trip into herself, to bring herself peace during an intense time. Many religious and mystery traditions employ the use of uttered word formulas as a way to bring something into your life. “Spell for Nature” is Octo Octa asking in her own voice to connect with nature personified in the form of a goddess. The recording is about the moment when she saw something she knew was there all along. When she peaked behind the curtain and found something enveloping and eternal. Poem: There’s a light in the center of the woods A bright fire seen through the trees We’re around it gazing into the flames She’s brought us here A bell chimes She’s asking you to come as well We’ve heard her voice since the beginning And You’ve been listening your entire life She’s calling 50% of the profits from the album will be donated to the Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP), which works to guarantee that all people are free to self-determine their gender identity and expression, regardless of income or race, and without facing harassment, discrimination, or violence.

丰饶之锅

李晓珞
release date 2015-04-23 publisher: 中国唱片深圳公司出版
关于歌曲专辑《丰饶之锅》 此张专辑收录10首歌曲,由李晓珞创作于2014年,出版于2015年。 多神教时期,凯尔特神话中有“丰饶之锅”,此锅取之不竭,用之不尽,乃繁荣富裕的象征。之后,基督教统一多神教地区后,这锅演变为圣杯。在中国,锅的原初形状为鼎,三足二耳,商代伊尹辅助汤王,从论鼎开始,说万物由鼎出,和味之术即治国之术,所谓治大国若烹小鲜。由此可见,东西方关于锅的传说天然契合,民以食为天,世界出自丰饶之锅,真理出自丰饶之锅。 李晓珞这张专辑,以丰饶之锅的意象为核心,演绎和讲述了《一个字的经历》,《一个人的经历》,她和祖母的代际心路,以及一个弹琵琶的女人在今天唱出的《新琵琶行》的故事,从而完成了当代歌曲在叙述方面的繁重课题。李晓珞的叙述,其价值在于重现人事的精神意义,判断,感叹,线索,和期望完善地交织在一起,既不是民俗的说书演义,也不是史书的鉴真忠实,其容貌神气更接近史诗的吟咏传统,于真实中质疑现实,从世理中拒斥绝对。这一努力,可以被看作“新诗史”的复活。 在新诗史的探索之外,李晓珞在本张专辑里,还致力于通俗腔调的写作尝试。这个观念,并不同于流行歌曲。以古典主义看待流行是一回事,以通俗而不庸俗的姿态看待流行,又是另外一回事。后者更为深刻和彻底地对抗着日常平庸,需要更大的审美勇气和更精湛细心的创作技法。好听,是一个相对的概念,需要唱听双方面共同拓展甚至冲击听觉艺术的界域。我们甘愿接受喧嚣的包围,还是力图以此生鲜活的听力去刺破喧嚣的沉寂?以《只有这么唱才靠近永恒》和《圆缺》为代表的歌曲,堪称“腔主义”歌曲的典范。李晓珞说:“我宁愿用‘腔’这个说法,也不喜欢‘旋律’这个概念。旋律从西洋音乐的本义讲,是对孤立动机的重复回旋,它指向一种保守的习惯声音心理,更多地服从于市侩和小农经济的美学倾向。而腔这个字,体现的是我们与万物之间的呼应,音乐只有在彼此呼应得上的瞬间,才会好听。” 在完成上述“好听”这个愿望的实践中,作者走了一条“回家”的路。与其到外面的花花世界去捕捉荒芜的信息,不如回到腔体内部、靠近心的位置去直达音乐的本质。回家,是回到生命的起点,而不只是文化意义上的回归寻根。文化并无内外之别,也无新旧之分。一切文化,都是对心灵的围剿和固化,都是外在的助力。或者单凭这助力,就必然不知不觉中成了杀力。

“第一次是先有了专辑名字才开始的歌曲创作,然而这也没有帮我们确定内容的框架和边界,大家一如既往的天马行空起来。唯一不同的是在《十万个为什么》创作的两年里,我不像以往那样在意专辑的时间计划和工作的节奏,开始喜欢上了这个过程本身。结果就是更多的时间在不断的试来试去,大部分时间里歌曲本身并没有太多进展,但这帮我解开了很多的“为什么”。就好似“十万个为什么”本来的源头 “One million Hows, two million Wheres,and seven million Whys!”总是有那么多需要弄明白的事情,也只有浸入在这个过程里才能逐渐理清自己的思路吧。 我们一直喜欢做「专辑」而不是「单曲」,因为这需要一段相对长的过程,正是这一相对长的过程赋予了专辑「时间」的烙印。一首歌并不能记录某个阶段相对完整的思考,但一张专辑可以。而对于这张专辑里每一首歌,讲述的又是各自独立的故事,它可以是关于无数的“?”,也可以是关于遥远处依旧需要去探寻的光亮。” 2020 年 9 月 22 日 谢玉岗

“When Memories Collide / 记忆冲突之时”是Uncle Hu在2015年以完整的唱片形式对过去数年生活经历的描绘。他目睹迷离贪婪的人群、疯狂的街道标语、失控的城市形态,同时又不停与有意思的人、有温度的市井百态、富有生命力的四季变换产生交集,致使不同时段的个人记忆总会在某处相互碰撞冲突,成为痛苦与幽默感的共同来源。这也成为这张唱片反复探讨的主题。Uncle Hu的音乐作品包含丰富的意象,具有如同电影场景般的画面感,敏感细腻却不乏质朴谦卑,冷静但绝不冷血。专辑的录音开始于2014年7月,所有的素材都由Uncle Hu独自在家中完成录制、混音,低保真的DIY精神在过程中得到了恰当体现,其中不乏独特有趣的乐器和实地录音采样的运用。 制作人/表演/录音/混音 - Uncle Hu 母带处理 - Garrett Haines@Treelady Studios 设计/绘画 - 李诗晴 唱片由Big Nothing Records独立发行 Uncle Hu 音乐人小站

Lucy Dacus genre: Rock
release date 2018-03-02 publisher: Matador/Beggars Group
Lucy Dacus is done thinking small. Two years after her 2016 debut, No Burden, won her unanimous acclaim as one of rock’s most promising new voices, Dacus returns on March 2 with Historian, a remarkably assured 10-track statement of intent. It finds her unafraid to take on the big questions — the life-or-death reckonings, and the ones that just feel that way. It’s a record full of bracing realizations, tearful declarations and moments of hard-won peace, expressed in lyrics that feel destined for countless yearbook quotes and first tattoos. Dacus and her band recorded the album in Nashville last March, re-teaming with No Burden producer Collin Pastore, and mixed it a few months later with A-list studio wizard John Congleton. The sound they created, with substantial input from multi-instrumentalist and live guitarist Jacob Blizard, is far richer and fuller than the debut — an outward flowering of dynamic, living, breathing rock and roll. Dacus’ remarkable sense of melody and composition are the driving force throughout, giving Historian the immersive feel of an album made by an artist in full command of her powers. The past year, with its electoral disasters and other assorted heartbreaks, has been a rough one for many of us, Dacus included. She found solace in crafting a thoughtful narrative arc for Historian, writing a concept album about cautious optimism in the face of adversity, with thematic links between songs that reveal themselves on repeat listens. “It starts out dark and ends hopeful, but it gets darker in between; it goes to the deepest, darkest, place and then breaks,” she explains. “What I’m trying to say throughout the album is that hope survives, even in the face of the worst stuff.”

Björk genre: Jazz
release date 1990-10-01 publisher: Msi Music/Super D
Björk这女人从骨子里透着天然妖气势不可挡。 今天介绍她早期时候,和乐队一起制作的专辑《Gling Glo》。Björk的曲风还算挺多变的,每张专辑都有不同的侧重点。这张专辑有点年数了,1990年9月的,是张传统冰岛爵士唱片。喜欢爵士的朋友,不妨载来听听,别有风味。 1990年,Bjork 和一个叫Trio Gudmundar Ingolfssonar的当地一支爵士三重奏乐队,录制了一些爵士乐歌曲,全张专辑的曲子都上用她的母语——冰岛语演唱。这张专辑的名字是《Gling-Glo》,但当时只有在冰岛发行。Bjork担任VOCAL,Gudmundar负责钢琴伴奏。乐队的另两位成员分别完成爵士鼓和BASS的部分。如果你是BJORK的忠实乐迷,在收集了她所有的英文唱片之后,又怎能错过这张欢快而绝妙的冰岛语爵士唱片呢? Bjork一直被当作另类女王,电子舞曲的弄潮儿。谁想到她更是一流的JAZZ VOCAL!冰岛语表演的爵士,卷舌音清脆浓郁。让人几乎在欣赏音乐的同时,也爱上了这种语言本身的发音。有着俄语一般的华贵,是狂欢节的呓语。 Gling-Glo在冰岛语里是一个相当于英语TIC-TOC的象声词,即中文里"叮当"的钟声,那更接近于教堂的钟声。Gling-Glo作为唱片的第一首曲目,表达了一个简单而幸福的场景。"月亮在云朵上微笑,钟鸣叮当,男孩在路上,女孩等着他,男孩幸福地笑着,因为女孩回答说我愿意。"清脆、嘹亮,简单、快乐。不过这种简单的幸福,如今匆忙的人世中,几近一种昂贵的药片。唱片中几乎所有的作品,都表达了简单的场景和意义,小孩子、小日子、小快乐……但这些难道不是一种大幸福吗? 作为专辑的点题作“Gling Glo”,丁冬的琴音,乖巧的女声,恍惚置身一个简单而幸福的场景,这份简单,在如今烦嚣的尘世中,真个是一份奢侈。紧接而下的“Luktar-Gvendur”,更感暖意浓浓,此时方才充实。听过此碟,相信会发现Bjork在里面卷舌音的运用、咬字的处理很有自己独到的一套,极易感染听者,如“Kata Rokkar”、“Brestir og Brak”等。在“Eg Veit Ei Hvad Skal Segja”、“Rornin Vid Tjornina”中,小孩般的嬉闹,竟如在听儿歌。“Ruby Baby”那略带点儿轻爵士的味道,又如同烟雾缭绕般的迷惑。 Björk唱得像个顽皮的小男孩。这个精灵愿意飞到人群中,扒开他们僵直的脸部肌肉吗?闲看都市大厦间穿行的红男绿女,总奇怪他们为什么都一个表情?--僵冷的、扮酷的,漠然的,骨子里却是极度不安的。都市人缺乏随意闲适的心情,这个时候请参照Björk,多点孩子气,或许更好看一些。 《Gling Glo》可以放在酒吧里听,懒懒的,但味道浓郁,这就是爵士下的迷幻药。它是一张在你最最伤心难过的时候,也可以让你的心情明亮起来的作品,这是音乐的曼妙力量。如果你觉得Bjork冷,那么GLING-GLO决不会。它饱和的音乐色彩,像节日的礼物,当幸福的钟声响起,孩子迫不及待地打开它…… 相当令人惊讶的专辑,你一定会喜欢。
