Poetry in Shorts 短裤里的诗歌 – The Lame The Terrible The Useless 三个留级生
One of last year’s best surprises – the Shanghai lo-fi blues-ridden rock and roll trio Poetry in Shorts – return with a fresh new EP, finding the band digging into their mischievous bag of scrappy, cigarette smoke-filled and dangerously alluring tunes. Equating the changing seasons, the shifting winds, every passing glance with the volatile emotional tides of the young and restless, the band taps into something primal – a poetic rock and roll swagger that feels genuine at its core – a lo-fi pop heart buried beneath downtrodden punk rock skin.
去年最欢喜的惊喜之一是上海低保真蓝调摇滚三人乐队短裤里的诗歌，带着全新的EP回归。聆听作品如同在百宝袋中摸索，捕获其中凌乱的、烟雾的、压抑的、危险而诱惑的曲调。把季节的变化，风向的变幻，目光的交错，与年轻和不安的情绪波动相连，乐队从本质上挖掘出一种富有诗意的摇滚风格，它的核心是真诚的——一颗埋藏在朋克摇滚之下的低保真流行之心。

Earsnail 耳蜗 – Dream in a Cage/Unknown Road 笼中梦/未知的路
The electronic duo of Wang Xu (of white+) and Yan Shuai (of Da Bang) return with the sultry and densely vibrant double single ‘Dream in a Cage/Unknown Road’. Ambient, IDM, and some techno thrown in for good measure, it’s electronica music made with craft and architectural observation. There’s a dream-like quality to the music Earsnail makes with their first track unfolding bit by bit, building up layer by layer, while the second song takes the lyrical framework of Beijing ska band Underdog’s song ‘Last Freedom’ and runs with it, creating a foot-tapping, trance-inducing exploratory dancehall number.
由音乐人王旭（来自乐队White+）和阎帅（来自大棒乐队）组成的二人电子乐队，带着撩人而充满活力的两支单曲《笼中之梦/未知之路》回归我们的视野之中。创作中注入了氛围音乐，智能舞曲，以及一些科技舞曲，是经过精雕细琢与建筑观察后制成的独特电子音乐。耳蜗制作的音乐有一种似梦般的质感，从第一首歌曲一点一点展开，一层一层铺垫，到第二首歌曲以北京斯卡风格败犬乐队的歌曲《最后的自由》的抒情框架为蓝本，重新混音，创造出一曲动感惘然的探索性舞曲。
Pool of Light – 绿(Green)
Pool of Light, the Shenyang-based zen-like master – a one-man, multi-instrumentalist who utilizes an arsenal of components to color his metaphysical ambient soundscapes continues evolving and honing his craft on his latest Green. ‘Incorporating synthesizers and field recordings, while also employing experimental techniques and cinematic orchestral approaches, both meticulous and raw,’ the artist finds new throughways to capturing transcendence – turning abstract realms of sound into vigil.
Pool of Light，驻地沈阳，潜心禅宗，这个是一个一人多器乐项目，音乐人利用一系列元素去渲染其超脱现实的氛围音景，持续演变和磨练在这张最新专辑《绿色》中所展示出的制作水准。“结合了合成器和现场录音，同时也采用了实验技术和电影管弦乐的方法，既细致又原始。”艺术家发现了突破的新途径即将抽象的声音领域变成永恒。

yourboyfriendsucks! – Episode 02
Guangzhou indie rock outfit yourboyfriendsucks! – one of southern China’s most prominent fixtures of the DIY scene – may not be hitting the stage anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean the band has run dry of material. Case in point – Episode 02 – which digs up and dusts off some of the band’s recordings from 2014-2015. And what gem the five-track EP is – bewitching dream pop singles that aren’t afraid to turn the dial up and distort its melodies into a glorious mess of emotions. Jagged indie pop that tugs on those heartstrings whilst having you bop your head in delight, it proves what made the band such a game changer in the first place.
广州独立摇滚乐队yourboyfriendsucks!/你男友係碌葛-是中国南方最著名的DIY表演之一-但可能近期都不会上台演出，这却并并不意味着乐队江郎才尽。新专辑《第02集》就是很好的证明，这张专辑挖掘和回顾了乐队2014-2015年间的一些录音和作品。不得不说这张五首歌的EP太棒了，因其迷人的梦幻流行单曲，不惧增添的音乐元素，将旋律扭曲融入成一股华丽的情感，使得起伏的音律在你高兴地手舞足蹈的同时也撩拨着你的心弦。
