New Music: Green Deer, GAIWAER, Whale Wave, Sunken Boat

Green Deer 青鹿 – Space Hysteria 太空症

With ample amounts of shoegaze-inflected post rock with heavy shades of math rock and noise rock – Ningbo’s Green Deer run down the checklist of what’s catching young audiences’ attention these days. But damn does it sound good on their wildly diverse debut album Space Hysteria. Nimble and wiry instrumental rock rubs nicely if strangely against glazed over vocals that shake with garage rock vitality – but overall, there’s a propulsive energy to the band’s sound that enraptures.

来自宁波的青鹿在后摇里加入足量的钉鞋、数摇和噪音,完美匹配时下乐迷的风格清单,给新专《太空症》带来了多元性的听觉快感。狡黠又稳健的器乐给生猛的车库唱腔涂上了一层奇异糖霜,总之,你不想错过这支乐队充满生机与狂喜的声音。

GAIWAER 街娃 – Incoming 硬抗命

For a good dosage of hardcore anthems, then look no further than Chengdu outfit GAIWAER who go straight for the jugular and don’t let go. Since their debut in 2016, the band has been leading the charge for hardcore music in Chengdu through muscular musicality and emotional strength. No gimmicks – just murderous guitar riffs and gut-barreling anthems – a raw, enraged, empowered, and hot-blooded rallying cry. 

想听最燥的硬核,成都街娃乐队绝不让人失望,他们直奔要害不轻易松手。自2016年出道以来,乐队一直以其强大的音乐表现力和情感力量引领着成都的硬核音乐。不夹带噱头,只有致命的吉他扫弦和鼓槌击撞,以及原始,愤怒,充斥着力量和热血的战斗呐喊。

Whale Wave 鲸浪 – 她的乌斯怀亚

Guangzhou’s Whale Wave continue making their mark on the indie pop scene with their second EP. Retro-fitted melancholy-inflicted indie rock tunes full of woozy guitars and pensive lyrics, there’s an assured melodic earnestness to the band’s sound that sticks with you even while it may lack the bite some of their contemporaries have. It’s indie rock that’s not afraid to swoon, inject a little surf rock swagger and lean into its softer Britpop edges.

广州的鲸浪乐队凭借其第二张EP再次在独立流行乐坛留了自己的印记。复古的独立摇滚曲调中赋予了忧郁的吉他声和沉思的歌词,流露出诚挚的情感,即使可能不够具有感染力,也会让人久久难以忘怀。这是一种不惧让人沉迷的独立摇滚,注入了一点冲浪摇滚的张扬,并将柔和的英国流行风格融入其中

Sunken Boat 沉舟 – 就让我坠入海底

Hailing from Luoyang, Sunken Boat are a melodic dance-rock outfit that’s sugary and sweaty all at once. Taking a cue from riotous bands such as Steely Heart and Secret Club, it’s a youthful and often saccharine mix of Britpop, dance rock, and straight-up punk that may not win any awards for originally, but succeeds principally on earnestness. And while its abrupt change in tones – from deviant to cute – may indue whiplash, they’re worth a listen for those yearning for some no-frills rock and roll. 

来自洛阳的沉舟乐队是一支旋律悠扬的舞曲摇滚乐队,甜美而又可以让人汗流浃背。他们的音乐借鉴了钢心乐队和秘密俱乐部乐队的狂野表达,年轻而又充满甜言蜜语,并且混搭了英国流行、摇滚舞曲和纯朋克等音乐风格。虽然一开始可能没有获得褒奖,但却凭借真诚打动听者。音调上的突然变化-从怪异到可爱-可能让人觉得震惊,但对于那些渴望朴实无华的摇滚乐的乐迷来说,他们值得一听的。
