Patchy and uninspiring debut from São Paulo disco punks and Diplo pals.

给曾经迷恋Mazzy Star、Galaxie 500、Mojave 3的你，来年早春第一张足以穿透皑皑白雪、温暖人心的Dream Pop复刻作品《Teen Dream》，来自Beach House的第三张专辑。去年冬天，主唱Victoria Legrand与伴奏乐手Alex Scally才刚结束漫长而疲累的巡迴旅程，即刻进录音室为这张全新专辑进行准备；仅管Victoria十分醉心奇异民谣乐队Grizzly Bear的音乐，可是在他们过往的两张专辑《Beach House》、《Devotion》裡头反而嗅觉到了一点点Mazzy Star的影子。Victoria迷濛略显粗野的嗓音，在《Norway》、《Used To Be》这些歌曲里头，反而制造了一点窝心与阴郁年少的复杂情怀。

This Montreal band has toured with the likes of Modest Mouse and The Arcade Fire, they played last year's All Tomorrow's Parties festival in California, self-released two limited edition EPs, and have a song (a cover of Frog Eyes' "Claxxon's Lament") on The Believer magazine's recent covers comp. Time magazine picked "Apologies..." as one of "Canada's Most Anticipated Indie Albums Of The Year". Expect to see and hear much more from Wolf Parade.

Foals是支很有趣的带有舞曲风格的英国独立乐队，这从他们的官网上色调明快且似信手涂鸦的图案和各种有趣的乐队图片和MV上就能显其端倪，当你长时间听带有电子气息的声音后，你会发现，当关掉音箱声音后，世界是如此安宁。

Nirvana的第一张专辑《Bleach》(《漂白》)是他们最为人忽视的专辑。录制《漂白》只花了600美元，《Bleach》中除了一首《About a girl》其他歌都不甚出名，远没有后来的专辑好听，但如果你想认识Nirvana，请从《Bleach》而开始。

在Grunge大潮渐渐退去之时，在尖叫和烟熏还未成为标尺之时，Jeremy已经将一种情绪带入到了摇滚乐中，而SDRE则是名副其实的Emo开山鼻祖。《Diary》的出现开创了一个先河，而SDRE却在几年之后被一群哥特装扮的形式主义者抢去了引导潮流的风头。一直以来的声名在外却默默无闻的现状与他们十年来的分分合合不无关联。

The Sun Giant EP is our first release with the really very wonderful, baroque harmonic pop combo Fleet Foxes. Their names are Skye, Robin, Joshua, Casey, and Christian and they live here in Seattle, Wash. We will be releasing a longer-length (some might even say “full-length”) recording of theirs on June the 3rd, 2008. This forthcoming recording will, in all likelihood, bear the same name as the band, and by that we mean Fleet Foxes.



The following quote is here out of context (and perhaps misused or misconstrued as a result) and taken from the inside cover of Sun Giant. Whatever else it might be, it makes for about as good of a “statement of purpose” as anything we’ve read:



“I don’t really know what I’m trying to say with this. It’s not good to romanticize a time of great hardship, hardship I’ve never known and am not conditioned to understand. I’m also not interested in a ‘back to nature’ thing, as nature as it was is gone for the time being and it would take a very big leap of faith and common sense to ignore that. But, music to me is just as awe-bringing as the world maybe once was, and I just love it a lot.”



We love it a lot, too.
