Salty Tomorrow 明天的盐 - 明天的盐 II
Starker, moodier, and yes, saltier than their debut release from last year, Hangzhou post punk outfit Salty Tomorrow is back with their sophomore release - aptly titled II. Lacking the blown-out production and cerebral sentiment of their impressive debut, the band wisely falls back on its dry yet on-edge monotone vocals, its evocative lyricism, and its direct, repetitive and foot-tap-inducing instrumentation. Just about every track includes one ear-twisting riff that expands and folds in on itself over each verse - making it a record that welcomes replay. Tight, restrained yet as potent as ever, Salty Tomorrow is post punk catnip.
更为严肃、更为阴郁、更为咸涩，与去年的首张专辑相比，杭州后朋组合明天的盐第二张专辑的标题恰如其分。由于缺乏他们首次亮相时令人印象深刻的夸张的制作和理性，乐队明智地采用了其干燥且边缘化的单调人声、令人回味的抒情，以及直接、重复和引人舞蹈的器乐。几乎每一首歌都有一个扭曲听感的即兴小段，它在每一节上都自我展开并折叠，成为一张让人愿意来回播放的唱片。紧绷，克制，但仍然强大，明天的盐是一口后朋猫咬。

Wu Wei 吴维 - The Man on the Atlantic Coast 大西洋边上的人
Wu Wei, frontman of Wuhan-based Celtic punk legends SMZB, settles into his life on the Atlantic Coast and his role as folk hero on his second solo release The Man on the Atlantic Coast. While his new life as a father and a stranger in a foreign land has forced the musician to approach his music with more restraint and tenderness - Wu Wei’s words still cut deep as he adopts a rustic folk prose that suits him all too well. Grizzled perhaps, but beneath the lonesome guitar and the echoes of barking dogs and crying babies, lies the rallying spirit of a battered punk - and a cry for a better world.
武汉凯尔特朋克传奇乐队 SMZB 的主唱吴维，在他的第二张个人专辑《大西洋边上的人》中融入了他在大西洋海岸的生活和他作为民间英雄的角色。虽然他作为一个父亲和异国他乡陌生人的新生活，迫使音乐家以更多的克制和温柔来对待他的音乐——吴维的话语仍然深刻，他采用了非常适合他的质朴民间散文。也许有些苍白，但在孤独的吉他和狗叫与婴儿啼哭的回声之下，蕴藏着一个受到打击的朋克的振作精神——以及对一个更好的世界的呼喊。

Casino Demon - City Life Sucks
Beijing mainstays Casino Demon find solace and treatment in their brand of woozy sun-baked indie rock on their latest City Life Sucks, out on Ruby Records. Not so much dialing back their tongue-in-cheek lyricism as using it as a remedy against the urban decay that surrounds them, the band, led by Wang Zi, seems more than ready to take on and roll through these frustrating times. Done with sincerity and rock and roll zest, mixing in everything from surf guitars to quirky wow pedals - and even a couple full steam ahead punk rock breakdowns - it's comfort food indie rock at its finest.
北京的中坚乐队 Casino Demon 带着阳光烘培过的招牌式独立摇滚，在赤瞳音乐发行的最新作品 City Life Sucks 探寻了慰藉和疗愈。王梓带领的乐队似乎更愿意在这些令人沮丧的日子里继续前进，而不是将他们的戏谑抒情作为一种补救措施，来对抗他们周围的城市衰败。他们用真诚和摇滚的热情，混合了从冲浪吉他到古怪的哇音踏板的一切——甚至还有几个全速前进的朋克 breakdowns——这是最棒的独立摇滚安慰食品。
