Exlovers

緩緩輕盈的女聲，而來自倫敦的Exlovers組建于2008年的Exlovers早期受Elliot Smith影響，音樂風格大多是比較安靜，偏民謠的曲風，而后期的轉型也很成功，09年作為Pete Doherty的暖場嘉賓，被著名獨立音樂制作人Stephen Street (Blur, The Smiths, Pete Doherty)相中，開啟了光明的音樂道路，很多人認為喜歡加拿大獨立搖滾樂隊Stars的人一定同樣會親睞Exlovers，也許有點偏頗，但事實兩支樂隊我都喜歡。而略帶迷幻獨立流行的音樂氛圍，以及若隱若現的電吉他背景與主音微弱的吐音配合的相當巧妙。或許是因為樂隊名字的原因，專輯表現的情感顯得較為失落，逝去的愛情和對未來的迷茫。 Assembled in London, meeting through mutual friends exlovers have wasted no time since forming in early 2008. Their early sound was a quiet, folkish affair playing songs such as ‘The Ruins’ and ‘S.O.F’ previously written by Peter . exlovers quickly drew upon their early 90’s American and UK indie influences (The Cure/Teenage Fan Club/My Bloody Valentine/Elliot Smith), collectively writing to combine sweetly sombre lyrical musings with lo-fi guitars, ever-developing boy-girl harmonies and subtle instrumental discord to stunning effect. After completing several UK tours with the likes of Golden Silvers, Emmy the Great, and Pete and the Pirates, exlovers drew the attention of legendary indie producer Stephen Street (Blur, The Smiths, Pete Doherty) after watching the band supporting Pete Doherty on the ‘09 NME Awards Tour. Having released limited edition 7” singles ‘Just a Silhouette’ (Chess Club) and ‘Photobooth/Weightless’ (Young & Lost Club double A-side), both of which were widely lauded and proved mainstays at XFM, Radio 1 and 6Music, Street offered his services to record the forthcoming 5 track E.P. entitled ‘You Forget So Easily’. ‘You Forget So Easily’ is released on 14th September through Chess Club Records. exlovers are to tour France in October on the InRocks tour with Peter Bjorn and John, as well as a co-headline UK tour with Kurran and the Wolfnotes. 更多>>
