在電台中聽到DJ訪問一名陰聲細氣的樂手訪問,再播出其幾首爽朗的作品,讓我對這位樂手提起興趣,哦,原來是來自Stourbridge的英國樂團The Voluntary Butler Scheme,在MYSPACE試聽了一連串歌曲,都是一樣的輕鬆好聽,秉承著英倫樂團的可口好聽,其中單曲《trading things in》懷舊結他音色中有連打鼓聲與不斷的Hand clapping,再在副歌中以口琴伴托唱出「So I say baby don’t go for anyone」的癡情。單曲即將推出,MV也lo-fi可愛,留意吧。 01 Trading Things In – Voluntary Butler Scheme
從這支《EL INDIO》MV認識西班牙的Facto Delafé y Las Flores Azules。他們是三人組合,意思是一人是Facto一人是Delafé 和一朵藍花(Flores Azules),已推出了兩張專輯,雖然口裏可能是唱hip-hop,但音樂元素由surf到electronic到rock都有包含,他們唱Hip-hop時一樣會投入一樣會跟著beat 搖動擺舞,但邊個話一定要跟住個beat 去舉倒v 呀果d 姿勢先係hip-hop?最重要是誰說hip-hop一定要是黑人一定要是yo yo yeah yeah check it out 穿著潮童衫扮潮童懶型表面上rebellious….(下刪一萬字),
New Buffalo 是來自澳洲的Sally Seltmann的創作女歌手,推出了兩張專輯,她最廣受人認識的作品應是給加拿大歌手Feist寫下的單曲《1 2 3 4》,其實她自己的作品一樣動聽,或者是更動聽。例如最新單曲《Cheer Me Up Thank You(MV觀看)》美妙得實在如身在澳洲享受著寫意的一個陽光寫意的下午,MV也將這樣單純的感覺拍出來。
Cheer Me Up Thank You – Lyrics
so it goes
the ordinary people, they do not know
who we are or what we’re doing here
they want you to pick up the phone
and hum the dial tone
you see, we should start from the top
and look at what we’ve done
wild flowers growing in the park
summertime, and it melts into dark
dancing together at night until two
cheering me up, and i’m thanking you
so it goes
the ordinary people, they do not know
who we are or what we’re doing here
they want you to pick up the phone
and hum the dial tone
you see, we should start from the top
and look at what we’ve done
wild flowers growing in the park
summertime, and it melts into dark
dancing together at night until two
cheering me up, and i’m thanking you
you’re cheering me up
and i’m thanking you
guess what, you’re cheering me up
and i’m thanking you
冰島的Mum的專輯【Go Go Smear The Poison Ivy】即將推出,單曲《They Made Frogs Smoke ‘Til They Exploded》的MV卻經已出動,由Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir執導處理的MV,利用STOPMOTION ANIMATION技巧利用畫紙上的繪圖,玩弄紙張上的暴力血腥,風格弔詭。現Pitchfork率先送上。
