Hello~ 这里是跳复古Disco的老少女空想






这时代的标签未免太多,

如果我们一一审读,

恐怕要死于心碎。





今天想为大家介绍几个奇奇怪怪的人,

一群穿越到21世纪的嬉皮士和一支独立摇滚乐队




                                                ----- The Growlers







     The Growlers(咆哮者),2006年成立于California, 是一支LA 乐队。他们的音乐糅合了pop, surf rock, countryside, beat ,老粉们给他们取了个称号叫‘Beach Goth’(沙滩哥特),再合适不过了。

     

     The Growlers真是一个很迷幻的乐队,全网无资讯,不知道是不是得罪了国内各大检索大佬,佛系得一撇连facebook都没有。只得,获得的信息依旧很有限。技高胆大不推广,但也是很real 很直接呢,只要有资讯出现,都是在卖巡演门票。



       不过我非常喜爱他们给自己做的主页,基佬紫迷妹粉,迷幻又复古。





Are You Ready For a Trip....




<        Chinese Fountain         >



     天朝喷泉应该是The Growlers 在国内知名度最高的一张专辑了,虽然也没几个人知道,原因是专辑封面的中字霓虹灯,这张专辑封面成功引起了国外乐队用中文装逼的热潮,比如Blur 乐队的专辑魔鞭。


     早期在查乐队故事的时候,看到有个人评论,主唱的声音就像一块破丝绒抹布,这并不算一个很确切的比喻,但却让我印象深刻过目不忘再也找不到其他合适的词来形容他的声音。


     天朝喷泉整张专辑的歌我都很喜欢,这也是咆哮者制作最精良的一张专辑了,从love test, dull boy,purgatory drive, 每一首都很有味道,驾车必备。

Been staring at the big hand,

盯着大盘,

Waiting for the big high five,

等着击掌,

Only looking forward to the purgatory drive,

现在只期待炼狱的驾驶,

Between work and his low life,

在工作和底层社会生活之间,

He don't wanna be at home,

他不想呆在家,

So he drinks and takes his time,

所以他喝酒消磨时间,

Under the fate of the road,

他正兜风,

Now he's taking a ride,

在命运之路,

Though he'd rather be dead,

这让他生不如死,

Lonely sunset drive, the only thing that's left,

日落黄昏后孤寂的开着车是他唯一能做的事,

His memories of her won't blur,

他对她的记忆没法消散,

Without a little mixture of fate and thoughts becoming words,

没有命运的捉弄不该说的全说了出来,

He don't wanna be cured,

他不想痊愈,

Gotta leave him alone,

别管他,

He's on his own,

他活在自己的世界里,

Now he's taking a ride,

他正兜风,

Though he'd rather be dead,

这让他生不如死,

Lonely sunset drive, the only thing that's left,

日落黄昏后孤寂的开着车是他唯一能做的事,

Do you know that feeling of your heart suddenly sinking?

你能体会那种人生一落千丈的感觉吗,

Love replaced with smoke,

让爱取代香烟,

Like a throat getting choked,

就像喉咙被呛住,

Now he's taking a ride,

他正兜风,

Though he'd rather be dead,

这让他生不如死,

Lonely sunset drive, the only thing that's left,

日落黄昏后孤寂的开着车是他唯一能做的事,

Now he's taking a ride on the lonely, on the lonely sunset drive,

他驶向远方。

      这是咆哮者16年的专辑,也是被粉丝们诟病的一张专辑,大概是Chinese Fountain太完美,粉丝们对这张专辑的高期待也导致了高失望。


     这张专辑继承了以往的老年观光复古风,没了上一张的沙滩风,多了几丝城市气息,但是因为换了制作人,强化了合成器,弱化了吉他,鼓点也有点软绵绵的,整体有点不及上一张专辑,即使如此,这张专辑还是有非常不错的曲子的。

Blood of a Mutt - The Growlers

I wouldn't name her burden

Or call him mistake

Or blame them on any

Pissed decision I've made

Respect for the man

Who pretended to be strong

Or the woman who helped me

Find my song

Blood of a mutt

Whipped like a dog

Yes I'm a man

Though it's taken me so long

Formed by the fools

Who poisoned my Gods

With a vengeance to prove it all wrong

Lying on the tracks of influence

Of every passing fling

Every judgement I make

Every song that I sing

Friends and foe

Every fork in the road

Add my tears to my tab

And leave me enough to get home

Blood of a mutt

Whipped like a dog

Yes I'm a man

Though it's taken me so long

Formed by the fools

Who poisoned my Gods

With a vengeance of hatred and love

With my heart in my pocket

Both feet on the gas

Failure as my guide

Memories made of ash

Age by my side

So I'm never alone

Add my years to my tab

But leave me enough for the road

Blood of a mutt

Beat like a dog

Yes I'm a man

Though it's taken me so long

Formed by the fools

Who poisoned my Gods

With a vengeance to prove them all wrong






那么

现在的你

听完我叨叨叨后

你愿意跟我跳一支老年Disco吗







快来找我跳迪斯科呀
