Yin: Guangzhou Post-Rock Band Zhaoze Converses With the Birds

If you, like me, are ready to take a swirling psychedelic nosedive into the weekend, I might recommend the latest from Guangzhou post-rock band Zhaoze:

Birds Contending (争鸣), a thoroughly cinematic 43-minute track, was released in late November, following the August release of a remixed version of their brilliant 2011 sophomore album, 1911. The new composition was recorded almost entirely in a forest in Zottegem, Belgium, with the sound of the titular contentious birds (perhaps a subtle Sufi shoutout?) mixing beautifully with guitar, drums, bass, celesta, and Zhaoze leader Hoyliang’s trademark electric guqin and xiao (bamboo flute).

As wonderful as they are on record, Zhaoze is a band that truly blows minds live — a feat they’ve repeated on multiple stages across multiple continents over the years. Here’s a music video from 2015 that gives a better visual sense of the delicate balance they strike between traditional Chinese and Western rock instrumentation:

音：广州后摇团——沼泽与鸟儿的对话

如果你也像我一样，准备过一个沉醉又迷幻的周末，我向你推荐来自广州后摇乐队沼泽的最新作品《争鸣》。

《争鸣》是一首长达43分钟电影式的曲目，于11月月底发布。此前的8月份，他们重新混音发行了其2011年的惊艳作品——《1911》

新专辑《争鸣》几乎是在比利时佐特姆的的一片森林中录音完成，歌曲伴随着鸟儿的啾啾的叫声（大概是一种微妙的声音？）与吉他、鼓、贝斯、钢片琴，还有沼泽乐队的领队海亮的标志性乐器电古琴和箫美妙地融合。

正如他们作品一般出色，沼泽是一队真正触动心灵的乐队——多年以来，他们陆续地登上了各大洲的舞台上。以下是沼泽2015年的演出视频，让我们好好地来感受一下中国传统乐器与西方摇滚乐器之间微妙的平衡。
