我的简评：

如果你喜欢Sigur Ros，slowdive，hammock，epic45之类的音乐，那么可以试试july skies。

“...70年代记忆的碎片...废弃的机场...无尽的童年夏日...穿过树叶斑斑点点的阳光...褪色的童真...灰色的英伦雨天...失踪的飞行员...记忆里一个模糊的微笑...”（选译自官网）这就是july skies的音乐。

july skies一直都是我的爱团，不过很少跟人提起，也许跟音乐风格有关-敏感，细腻，柔软，易碎，怀旧，就像一张藏着往事的发黄照片，浪漫中散发着淡淡的伤感。

好像有点太感性了哈，说点实际的。july skies是Antony Harding的project（有点想起了album leaf和this mortal coil），明显能从他的音乐中听出4AD昔日的残影，一些曲目和早期的slowdive颇有相似之处。

忧郁的基调，空灵，液态的acoustic guitar，细腻的guitar patterns，散落的没有重量的人声碎片，缩小版flying saucer attack式的feedback，萦绕轻叠的回响，haunting soundscapes...有人说july skies的音乐完全可以做电影的soundtracks，其实我觉得有点画蛇添足，这么有画面感的音乐本身就是一部声音的电影了。

july skies最好的一张专辑是《the English cold》，不过我朋友只要06的，所以我就不用传了。

ps：今天第一次上july skies的官网，发现Antony Harding居然也是FSA的粉丝，惊喜中。。。

samples：(100%能听，缓冲慢的话多等几秒钟)

这是给小四的flying saucer attack的试听：

关于ifolder的下载说明在置顶里找，反正估计怎么也应该比live-share快，讽刺的是live-share的服务器就在上海...
