尤其是翻唱Mazzy Star前身Opal的这首"Hear The Wind Blow",Dean Wareham和Britta Phillips的合唱,加上大提琴弦乐,彷彿是冬天在暖炉前谈起往事。
前几天发了他们的新碟Back Numbers,现在把这张也发出来~
With time marching relentlessly on and a gaggle of teen stars crowding you at every turn, what are maturing alt-rock cult heroes to do? If you're the nouveau team of Luna's Britta Phillips and Dean Wareham, you recruit veteran producer Tony Visconti and cut an album of originals and idiosyncratic, if nigh-perfect cover choices both familiar (Madonna's "I Deserve It," Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Moonshot," the Doors' "Indian Summer") and obscure (Angel Corpus Christi's regretful "Threw it Away," Silver Jews' "Random Rules") that evoke a couple decade's worth of artful sophistication, infused with a beautifully understated, ironic sense of Euro-detachment that evokes Edith Piaf as much as it does the Velvet Underground. Those smart sensibilities--be it the gorgeous, dreamy vocal somnambulism of Phillips's "Out Walking" or the deadpan Wareham brings to the droll wordplay of "Ginger Snaps" or harmonizing with his partner on the lush, string-backed "Night Nurse"--are crucially abetted by producer Visconti, who wraps their airy, detached voices in spare, sparkling settings that invoke everything from Parisian cabaret to Warhol's glory days and beyond, weaving a sophisticated tapestry of art-rock that's as deceptively laconic as it is day-dreamy evocative.
