Amusement Parks On Fire - Out Of The Angeles(2006)

以前有听过Amusement Parks on Fire,当时感觉挺地道的一支shoegaze乐队,所谓地道,就是学前辈学得很到位,很容易就让人想起ride或是Swervedriver。也正因为如此,让人觉得没有自己的个性和特色。
所以去年看到这张专辑的时候也没有多留意,都是后来发现很多喜欢听shoegaze的人都在推荐这张专辑,才开始有点好奇,找来听了听,确实比第一张进步和成熟了很多,大概是跟Sigur Rós的影响有关吧。具体介绍见英文部分,我就懒写了。
“...a striking similarity between the second album by British dream pop outfit Amusement Parks on Fire and a certain inscrutable Icelandic collective...The sonic resemblance doesn't make the album a Sigur Rós tribute record, however, because Feerick is at heart a much more pop-oriented songwriter than his patrons. For all the slow-building majesty of epic tracks like the stunning "A Star Is Born" and the propulsive first single, "In Flight," Feerick also has a strong line in memorable melodies and catchy instrumental hooks, along with an appealingly earnest vocal style that's refreshingly free of the usual emo angst. In fact, the closest musical comparisons for this widescreen, richly detailed, and musically ambitious album are the Arcade Fire's Funeral and Broken Social Scene's You Forgot It in People, two other recent examples of the meeting point between artsy experimental rock and U2-style Big Rock Glory. After a tentative debut album that was basically a homemade demo given a wide release, Out of the Angeles is the true coming-out party for a genuinely talented and potentially great band. ”(by Stewart Mason)
