Degtyarov: 被严重低估的中国乐队 (英文碟评)
作者：Degtyarov | 翻译：Yeo
[中文译文 Chinese]
啊，沼泽，这支被严重低估的中国乐队一直不负众望，不一定因为他们的每一张作品都超越了自身（《1911》依然是他们最棒的作品），而是每一张专辑，都在扩张着他们的音乐版图。他们在结合了后摇滚和中国传统音乐这一自己已然颇富魅力的基本模式上，继续加入新奇元素和新鲜的视野，源源不断地丰富他们的能量库。如果说上述所提及的经典作《1911》已将两者交织得水乳交融，那么，这张2015新单曲《沉醉不知处》则宁可将古和今两者表现得更加泾渭分明。
最初，乐曲还延续着后摇的韵律血液（虽然加入了传统古琴），然后，12分钟的乐曲进行到正好一半时，便由中国古典韵味的沼泽，转而呈现了其恢弘绚丽的另一面，此时鼓和贝斯也开始擂击搏动，似向中原国度神奇悠远的音乐传承致敬。这是一次让人惊叹的转变，在一首单曲里展示了沼泽的声音有多么丰富。
如果你现在仍对这支乐队一无所知并为此感到非常内疚的话，那么，《沉醉不知处》将为你打开沼泽音乐世界的大门。毫无疑问，你将沉醉不知处。
[英文原文 English]
Ahh, Zhaoze. This hugely underrated Chinese formation always delivers. Not necessarily because they keep outdoing themselves (1911 still stands as their best release), but for the reason of expanding their musical scope with each release. They consistently enrich their repertoire with novel influences and provide fresh perspectives on their already enticing base formula of post-rock and Chinese traditional music. Whereas the afore-mentioned chef-d'oeuvre 1911 sought to interweave these two elements to a meticulous degree, their 2015 single Intoxicatingly lost rather presents them in a more dichotomised fashion.
Initially, the composition follows a cadence akin to post-rock (though enriched with the legendary guqin instrument). Then,exactly halfway into the 12-minute song, the traditional side of Zhaoze emerges in full splendour as the drums and bass now also pulsate in honour ofthe literally mythical musical legacy of the Middle Kingdom. It is a marvellous transformation that helps display the wealth of Zhaoze's sound in a single track. If you are guilty of the heinous crime of having ignored this band so far, then Intoxicatingly lost offers a formidable introduction to Zhaoze's world; no doubt it will reel you in. |Degtyarov
