最近很愛聽 Vol.6

2008年終榜首先牢牢入榜的，除了The Raveonettes很難作第二人想，這跟自己說不上來奇怪的偏執有關（去年是The National）。他們的新輯《Lust Lust Lust》已成為我隨時隨地聆聽的第一首選，真想趕快入手！於是決定將「最近很愛聽Vol.6」大圖換成The Raveonettes（有跟封面一樣的三層霓虹耶），只有六首，快速分享給各位鄉親聽！

We Are Scientists - After Hours from "Brain Thrust Mastery" We Are Scientists: MySpace 一個應該美好的夜晚就應該美好像逛夜市像熬夜聊天像聽We Are Scientists 沒什麼大腦的快樂著 Time means nothing Say that you'll stay (2008.04.09) Cajun Dance Party - Amylase from "Amylase" EP also from "The Colourful Life" Cajun Dance Party: Myspace 光看封面便有遁入派對的遐想北倫敦五件式樂團Cajun Dance Party 把玩著快被玩到爛的後龐克 Amylase雖然有個俗豔開場後段重複詞句的挑逗性煽動卻燃起你跟唱的嘴巴神經 You're the catalyst that makes things faster Amylase will dry up the plaster 主唱Daniel呼吸不過來的唸唱快速短削的吉他彈奏他們會是下一個Arctic Monkeys？別想太多 Have a dance party!! 比較重要 (2008.04.08) Neva Dinova - Will The Ladies Send You Flowers "You May Already Be Dreaming" Neva Dinova: Myspace 感冒數日連清明節都無法好好掃墓吃藥 / 睡覺...不斷循環如果酒精有一個味道那一定長得跟Neva Dinova很像以吉他手兼主唱Jake Bellows的祖母為名來自Nebraska的Omaha的Neva Dinova 2002年的同名專輯讓人無法忘懷苦澀慘情真實的土灰色粘滯後來的The Hate Yourself Change 跟現在的You May Already Be Dreaming 恐怕都找不到相比擬的苦味 ps.聽說這張專輯製作期間發生 1. 器材因水災泡水報廢 2. 主唱在酒吧打架耳朵鼓膜破裂連現實生活都有苦到... (2008.04.07) Kathryn Williams & Neill MacColl - Come With Me from "Two" Kathryn Williams: Myspace Kathryn Williams似乎被忽略了自翻唱專輯Relations後近年兩張專輯Over Fly Over、Leave to Remain 好像淡出主流媒體一般她在寄給樂迷的信中寫道： so, the album's out / now's the time when people (as opposed to... i don't know... the things that write reviews??) get to hear it 有如點出對有論者惡評的不屑然而Kathryn無須review 她的聲音仍是如此樸質清澄的像一個美好的下午而不是陣雨紛紛的台北 (2008.04.01) The Raveonettes - With My Eyes Closed from "Lust Lust Lust" The Raveonettes: Myspace 隨著With My Eyes Closed隱遁黑夜中我彷彿來到Lost In Translation 霓虹閃爍速度流動的場景在這裡只有無止盡的迷失瞇著眼 LUST LUST LUST 就好像 LOST LOST LOST I closed my eyes To hurt you To leave you ... Everyone surely will tell you That I will Need you But I dont believe you 我覓得神似度百分百的Jesus and Mary Chain Just Like Honey的苦澀分身幾乎可說它是All Time Favourite Song 聽了又聽在夜晚的涼風裡寂寞一陣又一陣的侵襲 (2008.03.28) The Sound of Arrows - Danger! from "Danger!" EP The Sound of Arrows: Myspace 瑞典花草大廠Labrador再耕植出新的花園 The Sound of Arrows (箭之聲) 名字看起來危險唱出來也是Danger!

妙奇的是雙人組 Stefan Storm之前曾製作House浩室電子樂而Oskar Gullstrand則是搞管絃樂湊在一塊反而惹出鮮明的Twee Pop 隱含些許Saint Etienne的電氣影子又有些Sambassadeur的迷濛感

今年秋天他們會出完整專輯而Labrador除了Suburban Kids With Biblical Names The Radio Dept.想必更是今年的重點的 "非園藝教室"之一了!!!
