Rejianbeishashou 热键被杀手 - 红蓝简歌
Noise rock daydreamers ReJianBeiShaShou are in fine form on their new EP - 红蓝简歌 - deepening their evocative lyricism whilst expanding their musical palette in new and enticing ways. While last year’s full-length LP ‘You Leave Me Alone’ had ample amounts of angst and sensitivity - aesthetically it never quite hit the highs their earlier work had captured - both a result of adhering too much to what had come before them as well as trying to fit into the image of their label. But here their sincerity, simmering rage, and existential anxiety rings loud and true, with the EP unfolding like a short story with each chapter told in a different pose. Welcome back.
噪音摇滚乐队热键被杀手在他们的新 EP 《红蓝简歌》中表现得相当出色,这张EP更深刻地表现出他们令人反复回味的抒情性,同时又以更诱人方式扩展了他们的音乐疆域。虽然去年的全长专辑You Leave Me Alone充满了焦虑与敏感,但从美学角度来看,这张全长专辑并未达到他们早期作品所能达到的高度--这既是由于他们过于拘泥于之前的作品,也是为了迎合唱片公司的形象。但如今,他们真诚、沸腾的愤怒和对生存的焦躁响彻云霄,这张 EP 就像一个短篇故事,每一章都以不同的姿态展开。欢迎回来!

The Hospital 医院 - The Hospital 医院
With a hefty foundation of 80s art rock, 90s alt rock, and psychedelic pop - Wuhan’s The Hospital traverses across various musical landscapes with the conviction of a seasoned band on their mammoth and most impressive debut. Invoking an era where guitars truly sang and played off its fellow musicians with rapturous affinity, it never loses its pep or way around a hook, even as it gets lost in the weeds willingly. At nearly a hour long, the band is seemingly throwing everything but the kitchen sink at audiences sonically - and while it could stand to trim off some of the fat - there’s no denying what The Hospital has done - release one of the year’s best debuts.
站在80 年代艺术摇滚、90 年代另类摇滚和迷幻流行乐的坚实地基之上,武汉的医院乐队凭借他们规模宏大首张专辑,带领听众们穿越了各种音乐景观,又向大家展示了作为一支经验老道的乐队的坚定信念。在他们的首张专辑中,他们以最令人印象深刻的方式穿越了各种不同的音乐场景,唤起了一个吉他真正放声歌唱,并以其狂热的亲和力与其他乐器一起协奏的时代。将近一个小时的时长,乐队似乎把所有的东西都扔给了听众,虽然还可以减掉一些累赘,但不可否认的是:这张《医院》一定是本年度最好的首张专辑之一。

Vanishing Queen 褪色女皇 - Privilege 特权
With its plants rooted firmly in the golden years of rock and roll in the 60s and 70s - where garage, psychedelic, and hard rock reigned supreme, and swagger was everything, Shanghai’s Vanishing Queen are a breathe of fresh air in today’s indie pop saturated world. Equal parts lean and flamboyant, with a falsetto-fronting frontman who holds nothing back, the band never comes off as trite - allowing these musical chops to elevate it’s sultry and devilishly alluring melodies. Long live the Queen!
来自上海的褪色女皇扎根于上世纪车库摇滚、迷幻摇滚和硬摇滚盛行的六七十年代。由于脱胎于摇滚乐的黄金年代,势不可挡的豪迈是他们的一切。在当今独立流行音乐饱和的世界里,他们是一股新鲜又狂野的空气。乐队既精干又张扬,不遗余力用假声放歌的主唱让整支乐队超脱老套,用自己的音乐技巧升华出撩人心弦、魔鬼般诱人的旋律。女王万岁!
