電子搖滾復興，現下編曲美學越來越凸顯低音節奏部；蘇格蘭樂團Frightened Rabbit反其道而行，不設專屬貝斯手，表演時改以鍵盤代替。 第二張專輯The Midnight Organ Fight由主唱Scott Hutchison手繪封面，無論專輯名稱的指涉或果真於內頁出現的「器官」圖像，都給人掏心掏肺的寫實感，音樂更是如此。 氣勢上，澎湃急促的鼓擊與大器厚實的吉他，Frightened Rabbit激起的情感彷彿是布魯克林Pela的巒生兄弟；氣質上，略帶鼻息的鄉音與久經壓抑后點燃的爆炸力，與蘇格蘭同胞Twilight Sad更是如出一轍。一張不容錯過的硬派作品。 Playing clever but purposefully naïve pop in the manner of the Vaselines, the Twilight Sad, and the Clean, Frightened Rabbit sound a good bit bolder than their moniker would suggest, though it suits their lively but nervous musical personality. Frightened Rabbit was founded in Glasgow, Scotland, in 2004, when guitarist Scott Hutchison and his brother Grant, a percussionist who -- like his sibling -- prefers to keep his last name a secret, began recording demos of songs they had written. Encouraged by friends and family, the brothers added a second guitarist, their friend Billy, and the trio began making the rounds of Glasgow's pubs and music venues. Slowly but surely gaining a reputation for their work, Frightened Rabbit began work on their first album, initially planning to record at the home studio where they'd done their original demos but eventually opting to record at Glasgow's Diving Bell Studio with Marcus Mackay instead. Frightened Rabbit released Sing the Greys through their own label, Hits the Fan Records, in mid-2006. Reviews were enthusiastic, and Universal picked up the disc for distribution in the U.K. and the U.S. The group's reputation enjoyed a considerable boost in America after they played a well-received showcase at the 2007 South by Southwest Music Conference in Austin, TX, and the U.S. release of Sings only increased Frightened Rabbit's popularity. The band's sophomore release, Midnight Organ Flight, arrived in April 2008. 更多>>
