Fake Gentle 假斯文 – Who’s World 谁的世界
Indietronica continues to find a dynamic home in the city of Chengdu as Fake Gentle breaks out their dizzyingly kinetic debut Who’s World. If you hear remnants of indie rockers The Hormones in there you’re not mistaken – the duo consists of two of that group’s founding members – Li Jing and Wang Xiaoxue, who left the band in 2017. Leaning into their former band’s more electronic coldwave components – it’s a feminist-bent, pulsating bit of electro-pop that’s crisp, lean, and buzzing with rock and roll hairpin turns that burst with vitality.
在假斯文以一张炫目动感的首张发行《谁的世界》登场后,独立电子场景继续在成都找到一个充满活力的场景。如果你在这张专辑中听到摇滚的余音,没有搞错,这个双人组合是由荷尔蒙小姐的初代成员李静和王小雪在2017年离队后组成。比起她们在荷尔蒙小姐的创作,假斯文更倾向于电子冷潮—这是倾向女权主义,带着电子流行的脆响,摇滚的嗡鸣,最后爆发出活力。

Baihu 白虎 – Pure 纯粹
Beijing psychedelic supergroup Baihu dive straight into the billowing allure of the genre on their latest EP, ‘Pure’, which takes a more improvisational approach to their sound. While it may not be as cohesive as their debut from last year, there’s a ton of pleasure to be found in the loose and wistful instrumentation and the disjunctive lyrical swirl of Sun Heting’s harmonizations. As far as appetizers go, you couldn’t ask for better.
北京著名的迷幻乐队白虎在他们最新发行的EP《纯粹》中采用了更为即兴的方式去处理声音,直接深入地展示了迷幻摇滚的魅力。虽然这张EP可能没有去年的发行那样惊艳,但你能在松散又富有张力的乐器和孙鹤庭和谐又疏离的旋律中找到许多乐趣。做为开胃菜而言,你不能要求更多了。

Mirrors 解离的真实 – Within An Endless Dream 昏古七
Shanghai trio Mirrors bring their kinetic cock-eyed brand of psychedelia on their muscular debut. ‘Dedicated to those who have lost touch with the world, to those who are neither asleep nor awake,’ is a precision missile of hard-hitting rock and roll that’s primal in its seduction. While singer and guitarist Aming’s fierce guitar and madcap vocalizations are the first things to stand out, the trio is very much a unit, propelled by pulsating drums of Daniel, and the rock hard grooves of bassist Bai – elevating every song to a cultish frenzy – and in the end, shaking you to the core.
上海三人组解离的真实带来了他们首张力量感十足的迷幻药味专辑,“献给那些与世界失去联系的人,献给那些既不睡觉也不清醒的人,”这是来自摇滚的精确制导,是最原始的诱惑。虽然主唱和吉他手阿明凶狠的吉他和疯狂的唱腔是最先吸引人的要素,但三大件又极具统一性,随着Daniel鼓点的推进和大白极具律动的贝斯——不断把每首歌推向邪教式的狂热,动摇你的内心。

Simplicity Lover 简约情人 – 11
A veteran of the indie pop scene for well over a decade singer Shi Xiaofei may have found the perfect outlet for her pop sensibilities with her latest project Simplicity Lover. Scuffing up her lush lyricism with an indie country-rock veneer, led by producer and guitarist Gao Xiaofang, that’s potent in its assembly and musical language, there’s a rustic spirit at the core of ’11’. A poetic beauty that clashes beautifully with the robust ‘down and out’ production that could be straight out of Nashville.
在独立流行乐坛已经有十多年经验的歌手石小飞,在她的最新计划简约情人中为她的流行情感找到了一个完美的出口。在制作人兼吉他手高晓芳的带领下,她用一种独立乡村摇滚的风格演绎了华丽的抒情诗,这在《11》的汇编和音乐语言中是强有力的,其核心是一种乡村精神。一种带着诗意的美与粗犷的“落魄”(down and out)产生了美妙的冲突,这样的制作可能直接来自Nashville(country music圣地)。
