最近几乎不听金属了

甚至连主流的东西都很少听
越来越喜欢独立的东西了
COCOROSIE,一个十分怪异的乐队
乐队成员是两姐妹
一个负责人声,一个负责采声
怪异得让人觉得温暖而不安
在《非音乐》听到她们的歌
简单而可爱
本来买的那期《非音乐》让我极其失望
但在里面送的碟中听到她们的歌曲后
让我觉得值!!
PS:上面还有一篇小C的2005总结,我居然没注意到,呵呵
恩......小C是我追赶的目标。哈哈
After hearing Noahs Ark, any concerns about CocoRosie becoming too tasteful or straightforward after the widespread critical acclaim for their debut album, La Maison de Mon Reve, can be put to rest. If anything, the album errs in the opposite direction: alternately rambling and hypnotic, its much more somber and insular (despite the presence of such kindred spirits as Devendra Banhart and Antony of Antony & the Johnsons) than the duos subversively angelic-sounding debut. La Maison de Mon Reve certainly had a dark undercurrent that added considerable sting to its sweetness, but its much more prominent on Noahs Ark; sad, eerie lyrics like "K-Hole"s "All of the aborted babies will turn into little Bambies" are paired with equally spooky, mournful music instead of the deceptively light tones of the groups first album. Theres a lot of power in the albums darkness, particularly on the apocalyptic campfire singalong "Armageddon." However, Noahs Ark occasionally feels too mannered and unfocused, and overly reliant on the sound effects and toy instruments that made their first album so surreally charming: in particular, interludes like "Milk" and "Bear Hides and Buffalo" sound like noise collages missing the key pieces that would hold them together. That said, the album still has many moments of transporting beauty, especially on the songs that feel less cloistered. On "Beautiful Boyz," Antonys gorgeous croon adds a touch of cabaret to the songs tale of star-crossed jailhouse love, and Banharts Spanish-language mysticism on "Brazilian Sun" advances CocoRosies dreamy exoticism, giving it a more organic feel than it had on La Maison de Mon Reve. Indeed, the more natural moments on Noahs Ark are often the best: the title track, "South 2nd," and "The Sea Is Calm" all put the focus on the Casady sisters delicate singing and playing. A disappointment mostly in comparison to the seemingly out-of-nowhere brilliance of La Maison de Mon Reve, Noahs Ark might fail to charm those not already bewitched by that album, but it wont break the spell for devoted fans.随机文章:
