Kelly Lee Owens genre: Electronic
release date 2020-08-28 publisher: Smalltown Supersound
Kelly Lee Owens' masterful second album Inner Song finds the convention-blurring techno producer and singer/songwriter diving deep into her own psyche—excoriating the struggles she's faced over the last several years and exploring personal pain while embracing the beauty of the natural world. Dinked Edition No. 44 * 2LP Exclusive Clear Vinyl
. * bonus Exclusive ‘Hidden’ track Side C
. * Etching on Side D
. * Signed and Numbered Exclusive 12” Art Print . It's a leap in artistry from a musician who burst forth on the scene with a confident, rich sound, and Inner Song is endlessly enticing when it comes to what Owens is capable of. Inner Song follows the star-making debut of her 2017 self-titled album, a quixotic blend of body-moving beats and introspective songwriting that garnered numerous accolades from the music press. Owens has indeed come a long way from her background as a nurse, since then she has remixed Bjørk & St Vincent, released an indelibly clubby two-tracker, 2019's "Let It Go" b/w "Omen" and teamed up with like-minded auteur Jon Hopkins on the one-off "Luminous Spaces." Her latest album also comes off of what Owens describes as "the hardest three years of my life" an emotionally fraught time that, in her words, "Definitely impacted my creative life and everything I'd worked for up to that point. I wasn't sure if I could make anything anymore, and it took quite a lot of courage to get to a point where I could make something again." So while the lovely cover of Radiohead's "Arpeggi" might strike some as an unconventional way to open a sophomore effort, to Owens the winding take on the classic tune—recorded a year before work on Inner Song properly kicked off—represents the sort of sonic rebirth that's so essential to Inner Song's aura. Inner Song was largely written and recorded over a month last winter. As with her debut, Owens holed up in the studio with co- producer and collaborator James Greenwood —and letting loose in the studio and being open to whatever sonic whims emerge was essential to Owens' craftwork. The evocative title of the album is borrowed from free-jazz maestro Alan Silva's 1972 opus, which was gifted to Owens Smalltown Supersound's Joakim Haugland for her 30th birthday: "I'm so grateful for him and his perspectives—he's always thinking outside of the box. Those two words really reflect what it felt like to make this record. I did a lot of inner work in the past few years, and this is a true reflection of that." The hair raising bass and tickling textures of Inner Song drive home that, more so than ever, Owens is locked in to delivering maximal sonic pleasure—as evidenced by the decision to make the album's vinyl release a sesqui album, or triple-sided album: "Im still obsessed with frequencies that don't do well on vinyl if they don't have the space." "The power of conceptualizing who you are has really informed this album" Owens states about Inner Song's essence, and her second album is truly a discovery of self— the latest statement from a fascinating artist who continues to surprise, gesturing towards a rich and varied career to come

时代与城市的巨变给每个人带来了生活中的不确定与不真实感,如果你也无法在生活中铆钉自己,那么请尽量打开你的身心,挖掘新的创造能力,开始下一段旅程。 回归张守望、李青、李维思三人原始阵容的Carsick Cars,在2020年的夏天推出了首支新单曲《叫醒我》,依然是赤诚真切的青年之声,又多了成熟之后的多元与包容。 延承着Cars标志性的吉他噪音底色,《叫醒我》构筑起了更丰富和悦耳的旋律。三大件带来的清晰的旋律线和后段肆意的吉他音浪像海水一样层层铺陈开来,在梦境与现实间反复游离折返,不可预期的起伏变化是三个人更成熟包容之后对音乐的反应与表达。 如果说Carsick Cars之前的表达更多是时代青年直觉性地思考与呼唤,新歌《叫醒我》则加入了细腻的个人化的情感和敏感的个体经验,浸入又旁观地觉察着每一个人在世界中的位置与选择,大段线性描写的中文歌词也是Carsick Cars之前不常用的表达方式,张守望坦诚承认 “从没写过这么热血洋溢、混合着少年感与对时光的呼唤的歌,这是我们的真心话,但说真心话让人不好意思,说不出口。” “世界变得像是个漩涡,快得让人来不及琢磨,所有的一切等你来选择。“与十五年前,三个无知无畏的少年拿起乐器,走上舞台,他们充满对未来的期待,觉得一切皆有可能,进而迸发出洋溢和自信不同,现在的Cars成员们更面对现实社会的复杂,反而多了理解和透彻,成长的路上更加笃定的要一起向前,寻着新的路径和新的意义。 世界是真实的还是虚幻的?在时代的路口上,一代青年该如何让选择,浪潮再次来临的时候,失落还是冲上去 ?重新出发Carsick Cars ,叫醒了很多人,也引发了每一个听者对自我与世界关系的反思。

读完他离开时留下的信以后已是黄昏,她定了定神,有些惊讶地发现自己已经走了这么远的路。天色也慢慢暗下来了,她便开始往回走。 在回家的路上,好像所有人都在谈论着什么,这让她慌张。一路小跑,她终于回到了家里,可窗外街道上人群的喧哗声越来越大,涌进房间里,好像还有一些摇曳的火光 映到了客厅的墙壁上。她拉上了窗帘,打开视频网站把音量调到了最大,想听一听那个主播熟悉的声音,可没想到所有的频道都直播着同一个新闻,她不得已地再次看到了外面正在发生的事 —— 平时散步的那个花园里面站满了人,他们穿着五颜六色的衣服,手里挥舞着样子差不多的旗帜。在画面里,她看不清那些被打上马赛克的旗帜上写的是什么,她也听不清人们对着镜头喊叫的是什么,似乎有一种同样的能量从他们的嘴里迸发出来,然而他们的嘴型又各不相同。 她竖起了耳朵去听,网页里车辆的声音和人的声音交织在一起。她眨了眨眼睛,好像是从梦里醒来一样。屏幕上的脸庞使得她曾经亲眼见过的脸庞都激动、鲜明了起来,好像有一只手拉着她的胸襟把她往外拽:“我必须行走,” 她想道,“我必须在街道、河畔、大楼和山谷之间行走,我必须听清楚他们在说什么,也把爱恋、误解、商讨和行动的言语说给他们。” 她会冲到人群中去吗? 她是否已经准备好了表达自己的勇气和理解他人的耐心? …… 词曲:陈思江 编曲、演奏:海朋森 模块合成器:David Runge 制作:季一楠 录音:Nanni Johansson at Hansa Studios 录音助手:Frida Claeson Johansson 混音:樊彬 母带:Matthew J Barnhart at Chicago Mastering Service 摄影、设计:海朋森 特别感谢:杨海崧 张力生 Pierre Guignard 廖逸鸣 李平

彭坦 Tan Peng genre: Folk
release date 2020-07-24 publisher: 摩登天空
彭坦发布全新个人专辑《子夜集》:永远用生活去打开创作 暌违六年,彭坦最新个人专辑终于在这个悠长夏日悄然面世,十首在夜晚生发的感性之作,映照十篇关于生活的诗意随感,由此得名:《子夜集》。 2016年,升级为人父,迎来人生新一篇章的彭坦,在心绪变迁中也步入了其音乐生涯的全新阶段,从女儿出生到四岁的生活贯穿为整张专辑创作的时间线。而让这些作品最终集结于一个名下的,还是源于一个看似偶然的巧合——专辑每首歌的制作完成,大都在子夜时分。 夜晚之于彭坦来说,是一天中真正属于自己和音乐的时间,也是与真实自我对峙的感性时分。 用彭坦自己的话说,每首歌最后的校验聆听,都是在母女俩熟睡后的子夜,场景或是回家的路上,或是伫立月光中,回忆起每一次那样瞬时的满足之感,好像只有无人的子夜和月光可以见证。 生活上的转变,为彭坦这一创作时期的作品附上了不同以往的风格与调性,也丰富着其表达中更加主观且私人化的倾向。而相对于之前更为乐队化的作品,这次整张专辑的编曲、制作,大多由彭坦一人主导完成。其全心倾注的个人能量,也在每个子夜的打磨与探索中愈发深入到每个作品的肌理: 由“六面体”概念发散而来的六支单曲,透过多元曲风构建出丰沛的超现实观念,映照世界与自我;《午夜飞船》、《散步》又以颇具探索性的抽象电子元素,将梦幻和浪漫的基调展现得更为纯粹。 而到了《生活的诗意》中,彭坦则显露出诗人式的率真,带着个体之于周遭的反思,洞悉平淡生活的步调;最后,在《南国》的叙述里,他又不禁投射出对于遥远大陆的幻想,坚信生命中一定有某些部分,需要突破某种界限才能体验获得。键盘手杨策的加入,也为这首歌在编曲层面平添了更多轻盈的质感与空间层次。 专辑中,另一个不能忽视的组成部分,便是与每首歌曲对应出现的摄影作品和随笔手记。这些文字选自彭坦为一批尚未发生的歌而作的随笔。随着十首歌的集结,这些起初漫无目的的写作也从散乱变得有所联系,最终成为了《子夜集》的“里篇”。你可以把它看作每首歌的一种互文,当然也不是必须。和那些附在内页的照片一样,彭坦称它们为自己生活中,陪伴这些音乐的文字风景。 从7年前的转型之作《迁徙》,到锐意突破的跨界实验专辑《电子天才游戏计划》,再到如今完整融汇自我概念的《子夜集》,漫长的创作轨迹,见证了彭坦音乐历程中开辟的每一个新的方向,同时,也刻画着其从“独立唱作人”身份到“全能音乐人”的蜕变。 然而生活继续,迁徙从未停止。 彭坦曾说,希望自己能够一直做一个“和时间对话”的人——“永远用你的生活去打开创作,这大概就是做音乐最幸福也最应该坚持的事吧。”

一支阔别了15年的乐队,回归后的第一首歌却取名为《再.见》。 当离别终于成为再次相见的理由,记忆的底片也将被时间再度冲洗为彩色。 “我们是一支来自20年前的武汉乐队。从1999年到2019年,抱歉失联了这么久。”去年7月,达达乐队四人分别14年后首度同台,声音略微颤抖的彭坦百感交集,和等待多年的乐迷们再次相聚,让他恍惚人生重来。 从当年的不辞而别,到如今的重组回归,这首新作已经让我们等了太久。 时间倒回到2000年的夏天,四个男孩离开家乡武汉,踏上了去往北京的列车,这一年,彭坦22岁。曾经那个水果湖边骑着单车的少年不会想到,此后他们将会背负如此传奇的履历:首支签约全球五大唱片的内地摇滚乐队;发布首张专辑便横扫15项音乐大奖,创造了内地流行音乐史上摇滚唱片销量奇迹;突破摇滚乐圈层进入主流市场,为多个国际品牌代言…… 种种成就背后,不为人知的巨大挣扎也在悄然聚积。彼时的达达在自我与现实的极度失衡中迎来了他们的「黄金时代」,“就像身上粘着一张撕不开扯不断的网”。 随之而来的是悄然而漫长的告别。起初难以释怀的遗憾,后来也逐渐消散在各自迁徙的旅途,只是那些恒久停留在时空某处的,四人共同走过的闪亮瞬间,会不时经由回忆引发心房的颤动。 一句再见,跨越了十五年的光阴,终于将四人心中长久而未言说的期待兑现为重聚的答案。 单曲MV中,乐队四人回到家乡武汉,那是一切开始的地方,封存的记忆似乎被再次打开,东湖岸边、市井码头……他们沿着少年时行走的印迹,同赴这一场迟来的约定,“只为了上一次再见”。当彼此的心再跟随统一的节拍跳动在相同的频率,回忆的黑白也与现实再度重叠为彩色,那一刻,时间依然鲜艳如初。 当彭坦唱出“多么虚幻的枷锁,多么真实的生活”,那副被岁月打磨过的声线中,依旧掩藏着那股未曾磨灭的少年心气。熟悉的明朗气息在旋律中再度荡开,又显现出更加鲜明的层次。编曲多了几分娓娓道来的松弛,其后镶嵌着温暖的重量,仿佛时光凝固后散落的颗粒,揉进生活行进中的顿挫。 达达曾是一代人青春的佐证,它张扬不羁,又热切诚挚,汹涌而来,又悄然别去,正如所有人的少年时代。岁月的更迭纵然可以改变一切,但彭坦、吴涛、魏飞、张明四人,始终在音乐中守护的那份不消不减的天真,依旧可以穿越时间的浪潮,抵达我们内心。 乐队将《再.见》的英文歌名译作“See You Again”,这个临别前的专用词汇,在达达的解读中,成为一种面向未来的期许,不再意味着结束与告别,它是另一个新的开始。

Neil Young genre: Rock
release date 2020-06-19 publisher: Warner
Neil Young puts it best: “This album is the unheard bridge between Harvest and Comes a Time”. Recorded between June 1974 and January 1975, Homegrown was intended to come out in 1975 before Neil cancelled the release. The album has remained unreleased until now, achieving a legendary status among Neil Young fans in the process. The album is made up of twelve Neil Young songs, of which seven are previously unreleased - “Separate Ways,” “Try,” “Mexico,” “Kansas,” We Don’t Smoke It No More,” “Vacancy” and “Florida” (a spoken word narration). Also included are the first recordings of “Love Is A Rose,” “Homegrown,” “White Line, “Little Wing,” and “Star Of Bethlehem” – different versions of which would all later appear on other Neil Young albums. Neil plays solo on some tracks (guitar, piano and harmonica), and is joined by a band of friends on other tracks, including Levon Helm, Ben Keith, Karl T Himmel, Tim Drummond, Emmylou Harris and Robbie Robertson. Recorded in analog, and mastered from the original master tapes, this long-lost album is a wonderful addition to Neil’s incomparable catalog.
