Percussive guitar and organ scrape at the surface of the left eardrum, and the bass hits like a combination of a synthesizer and a bongo. Get ready to be hectored by the ghosts of Cantonese poets and the Kowloon King. Sure as you can draw a straight line from The Offsets’ birthplace in Hong Kong to the site of their self-imposed exile in Beijing, there’s a connection between their music and the Velvet Underground, just somewhere along the 24 hour train ride things got muddled. Oscillator solos are reinterpreted for guitar, Bo Diddley blues get played drum-less, with only phantom rhythm for company. Songs like “Bodies’ Descendents” and “Snags” may bring to mind the endless empty highway, but the only possibility here is a brief sprint on an overpass above the midnight lights of a rotting port. Today, no escape is possible from a(ny) city, so the Offsets simply claim ownership, pushing back against at the neon signs, TV’s, and computers with a seductive spectacle of their own.

3.5相比于后来概念更极简成熟,听感更锐利的工工工的《幽灵节奏》,这张形式上更熟悉,听感上更温暖,三名乐手更多配器也带来传统意义上的丰富感。能听到地下丝绒、音速青年、泡菜摇滚等等嗡鸣类的噪音回响,4短促的吉他滑音和8的提琴印象深刻。配合真诚的粤语vocal形成了港式地下的独特听感。缺点是多少还受困于形式。 感叹的是此时此刻,竟不知道hk会去向何方。
