Moonlit Sailor的小站

(豆瓣音乐人) (original) (raw)

当后摇音乐正向着长篇史诗或者复杂多元化方向发展之时,来自瑞典的乐队Moonlit Sailor却似一位异军突起的骑士,用短小精悍的歌曲书写着属于自己的篇章。
后摇大军日益壮大使得后摇的分类逐渐细化,这是大家有目共睹的事。为了做到与其它同类后摇乐队区分开来,越来越多的乐队不断在创作和表演中添加新鲜的元素,例如古典乐元素的钢琴、管弦乐;例如硬核元素的黑嗓人声;例如编配技巧更加复杂的三吉他表演形式等。种种改进与新鲜的尝试,都带着后摇乐迷们漂进新的流域,变幻莫测又难以自拔。在这其中,偏偏有人反其道而行之,大举“少即是多”(Less is more)的大旗,抛弃更多的乐器,没有人声和复杂的编配,旋律至上,仅此单枪匹马却能让你爱不释手——Moonlit Sailor便是这样一支简单直接的后摇新贵。
从Moonlit Sailor的作品中也许你不难感受到这是一支青春无敌的乐团,没有晦涩的铺垫和冗长的叙述,轻快明亮的旋律是他们的杀手锏。抛去故弄玄虚的繁复,一首首短小精悍的作品总是以充满力量和阳光的面貌呈现。最小的团员出生于1990年,最大的也不过1988年,他们年轻,并且享受年轻。他们不善于讲故事,是因为没有那么多故事好讲。年轻就是希望、夏天、春光,年轻应该在雪地上、在图书馆里、在周末的逃亡途中。这是我们的生活,如朝露一般短暂的青春。因此从来不会为赋新曲强说愁,当水手们用欢快美妙的旋律大刀阔斧地砍向灰暗、阴霾、繁琐时,扑面而来的青春与力量让人几乎无法挣脱。
虽然组团不过五年,Moonlit Sailor已经马不停蹄地推出了三张专辑。与越来越多的后摇乐团向着复杂而多元的独木桥迈进不同,月光水手们总是偏爱更为简练的东西,甚至Acoustic段落也在专辑中出现数次。从《A footprint of feelings》到《So Close To Life》再到《Colors In Stereo》,三张唱片洗练的气质一脉相承,愈发大气。除去优美动听的旋律,该爆发的时候小伙子们也绝不手软。在情绪方面也依然饱满充沛,整体氛围充满着色彩斑斓阳光明媚的画面感。
