New Music 新唱片发行: YuPeng 也朋, Young & Dumb 甜又丧, LATENINE6 雷玖陆

YePeng 也朋 - 太阳寨巷战

The psychedelic boom continues in China with the sophomore release from Jiaxing, Zhejiang band YePeng - a sweeping richly detailed journey that finds the band refining their sound in their longing for the past. Having overhauled their lineup over the past few years, and introducing members Shen Zhi and Liang Bingying into the mix, it’s a stark warmer-hued departure from the band’s debut release, one that adheres closer to the music of Kikagaku Moyo, combing elements of world music, Krautrock, and acid folk. Like a more humid version of acts like Sleeping Dogs or Chui Wan, the band finds both jazz-flavoured fluidity and old school psychedelic allure with its delirious lushly layered blend of ethnic beats and rustic sounds, folkloric stories and drug-induced escape. A sonic exploration well worth taking. 

浙江嘉兴乐队也朋的第二张专辑继续着中国迷幻的热潮——这是一次全面且细节丰富之旅，乐队在对过去的向往中完善了他们的声音。在过去的几年里，他们对自己的阵容进行了调整，并引入了成员沈帜和梁冰滢，这与乐队的首张专辑有了明显暖色调的不同，更接近于几何学模样的音乐，结合了世界音乐、泡菜摇滚和酸性民谣的元素。如同一个更潮湿的睡狗或者吹万，也朋既有着爵士风味的流动性，又有老派迷幻的魅力，层次丰富，混合了民族节拍和乡村声音，民俗故事和药物引起的逃避。是非常值得一试的声音探索。

Young & Dumb 甜又丧 - Allergy 过敏

While more and more dream pop bands leaning into the synth-laced beachside aesthetics of the genre, Young & Dumb stay true to their rock and roll roots, giving a voice to these anxious and trying times. With moody taut grooves and a sense of urgency oozing throughout the four tracks, singer Li Yimeng navigates a world that’s becoming a shadow of itself (soundbites from the political satire Wag the Dog give you a hint of what’s whirling in their heads) - giving the EP an unexpected emotional heft that’s aptly backed by some solid instrumentation. A fine addition to the band’s growing catalogue. 

当越来越多的梦泡乐队倒向这一风格的合成器海滩美学时，甜又丧依然坚持他们的摇滚根基，为这个令人焦虑、艰难的时代发声。四首歌曲中弥漫着情绪多变的紧绷节奏和一种紧张感，主唱李依萌引领着一个正在成为自身影子的世界（政治讽刺片《摇尾狗》中的配音提示你他们所想的是什么）——给这张 EP 带来了意想不到的情感分量，并有一些扎实的乐器演奏给予支持。在乐队不断增长的发行中，这是一个很好的补充。

LATENINE6 雷玖陆 - 普通的我扑通一下

‘Accompanied only by bad luck and incurable narcolepsy’ Shanghai rapper LATENINE6 looks to reintroduce himself on his latest EP - 普通的我扑通一下 - bubbly summer breezer that showcases the artist’s modest and inward-looking persona. From the shackles of being all too ’normal’ to perpetual bad luck, it’s refreshing to see a rapper navigate the seemingly mundane, unfolding (sometimes quite literally) like a sun-kissed daydream on a Sunday afternoon. Goes down smooth. 

上海说唱歌手雷玖陆在他的最新EP《普通的我扑通一下》中重新介绍了自己，如同活力热情的夏日清风，展示了这位艺术家谦虚和内向的性格。从显得过于“正常”的桎梏到甩不掉的坏运气，我们能看到一个说唱歌手在看似平凡的生活中游刃有余，就像周日下午暖阳下的白日梦一样展开（有时相当真实），令人耳目一新。纵享丝滑。
