Lead vocalist and lyricist Daniel Layus has dug deep and emerged with a passionate, rootsy rock collection that is distinctively American, recalling the muscularity and epic sweep of albums by Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen in their heyday. The album is a shimmering blend of rock, folk, and country that manages to sound both modern and timeless. The subtle, streamlined production by Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Norah Jones) lets the true beauty of Layus soulful vocal delivery, as well as the band's barnstorming performances, shine through. "A lot of the songs are about digging in your heels and not giving up the fight for someone you love," he says. Layus describes the first single, "Steal Your Heart," as "an ultimate song of love and hope. I've never really written about that before," he says. "I've never done anything that blatant. It's a hand-in-the-sky, take-no-prisoners kind of moment where you just have no choice but to lay it all out there."
同名大碟是加州著名独立军团Augustana的第四张乐队作品.第一波单曲<Steal Your Heart>于今年情人节当天在各大电台播出,大部分听众均表示相当失望,甚至有听众讲三年的等待换来这么一首单曲非常不值得! 但是你得记住他们是Augustana!无论是首张作品的<Stars and Boulevards>,第...

Dan Layus作的情歌词很佳。 朗朗上口,意境优美。 入冬走在回家的路上听着,会不知不觉跟着哼起来。 - “We are only here, we are only here on borrowed time” - “My hands are tight and I've been rolling the dice” - "I'd make a ring from an empty sky, if you ...

完全無法置信Steal Your Heart被選作主打,非常無聊的歌。我不懂為何要在主唱的聲音上加那個刻意復古的效果。 不過從On the Other Side開始好轉,由沈鬱慢慢盤旋而上,直至豁然開朗。 Counting Stars是第一首承襲之前風格的曲子,柔順的鋼琴與弦樂交織,我想這才是我預期從他...

三年的等待,换来了augustana的同名专辑,整张专辑可以说还是充满了惊喜.从首支曲目听来,乐队的风格愈来愈接近了the Killers,不过当听到 3. On The Other Side 这首歌时,内心又有这样的感觉:这还是Augustana,能唱出《Boston》《Sweet And Low》这样优秀曲目的乐队.无论是主...

记得听I Still Ain't Over You时第一次接触这样的音乐,一种说不出的感觉,从来没有一支乐队带给我这样的爽滑。 前几天在闲逛时遇到了新专辑的问世,试听了Shot In the Dark,确实有the Killers的影子在回荡。曲风柔软,大为受用。新浪潮的味道明显。听惯了吵闹的朋克之后,回...

对于这种钢琴抒情小流摇,我实在是有点厌了,一两支还好,多了绝对受不了。Augustana应该也算水平比较稳定的一支了,但这次的首曲实在太令人失望……转型可以,但不要模仿的这么明显好不好……
