Naohai 闹海 – The Crowd 乌合之众
Seasoned vets of the indie rock scene, Shanghai’s Naohai bring their rugged musicality to fruition on their gut-punch of a debut The Crowd. Volatile, lean and filled with buoyant post-punk breakdowns, noise rock reverberations, math rock theatrics, atmospheric post rock crescendos, and yes, even some Oasis-esque Britpop bravado – Naohai stands out mostly for their inability to dial it down. They aim high, go for the jugular, and lay into their instruments with a burliness not often seen in young bands – giving each a track a kinetic magnetism that grips you from the first second. Simply put, it packs a punch.
上海的闹海乐队是独立摇滚现场的老手,在他们的首张专辑《乌合之众》中,他们将其粗犷的音乐发挥到了极致。变化无常、精炼十足,充满了愉快的后朋段落、噪音摇滚的混响,数摇的戏剧性,后摇大气的高潮,甚至还有一些绿洲式的英伦流行乐的自傲,闹海的突出之处在于他们无法将其控制住。他们目标高远,勇往直前,以年轻乐队不常有的气势投入到他们的乐器中:让每一首曲子都有一种动感的磁性,从第一秒开始就抓住了你。简而言之,他们的作品很有冲击力。
Kenja Time 空加太 – Impossible at Night 在夜里根本不可能
Maybe Mars unleashes their latest post punk acquisition, the Beijing three-piece Kenja Time, with a hell of an introduction with their debut Impossible at Night. The young band lean into the softer and looser elements of the post punk genre – injecting it with an intrepid almost post rock through-line that wrangles together some truly titillating chord progressions that’ll twist your ears into a knot of amusement. Echoes of a younger and warmer P.K14 are ever-present (most evident in Dai Shu’s wail of a voice) but there’s a playfulness here that manages to capture the heightened, ramshackle and yet jagged tones of the band’s sound.
兵马司推出了他们最新的后朋乐队,北京的三人乐队空加太,带着有关他们的首张专辑《在夜里根本不可能》一个地狱般的介绍。这支年轻的乐队倾向于后朋中更柔和、更松散的元素,他们在其中注入了一种无畏的、几乎是后摇的风格,将一些真正令人兴奋的和弦糅合在一起,让你的耳朵感受到一种乐趣。年轻和温暖的P.K14的回声永远存在(最明显的是袋鼠的哀嚎声),但空加太带着一种俏皮,设法捕捉到了乐队声音中不断升高的、摇摇欲坠的、参差的音调。
Schoolgirl byebye – Lovers 恋人
Nanjing indie rock outfit Schoolgirl byebye, led by steadfast couple Yang Yue (on vocals and guitar) and Geng Shengzai (on drums), continue to find solace and company in the trivial trials and routines of daily life, finding maturity and lyrical resonance whilst twisting the band’s pulpy indie pop into something grounded, wistful, and romantic. While the band’s noisier 90s dream pop side still rears its head from time to time, it’s clear the band has settled into their low stakes indie pop personas, haplessly in love with one another, though not without its moments of deadpan humor.
南京独立摇滚乐队Schoolgirl byebye,由坚定的夫妇杨越(主唱和吉他手)和更生仔(鼓手)领导,继续在日常生活的琐碎考验和常规中寻找慰藉和陪伴,在将乐队平淡的独立流行音乐化为接地气的、怀旧和浪漫的东西时,找到了成熟和抒情的共鸣。虽然乐队在90年代喧嚣的梦想流行音乐的一面仍不时浮现,但很明显,乐队已经进入了他们低风险的独立流行音乐的角色,无奈地爱上了彼此,虽然有时也少不了死板的幽默。
