Jack's Mannequin

來(lái)自美國(guó)加利福尼亞州的創(chuàng)作歌手Andrew McMahon化身Jack’s Mannequin，其同是Punk樂(lè)隊(duì)Something Corporate靈魂人物，這是Jack’s Mannequin將于9月30日在美國(guó)發(fā)行的第二張錄音室作品。樂(lè)器的演奏大部分還是原來(lái)的成員完成的，從旋律里宣揚(yáng)著年輕活力的天真爛漫，弱拍吉他的riff配上美妙的琴鍵聲，還有Andrew's看似嬌作其實(shí)陽(yáng)光的嗓音，更偏pop的編曲，整張專輯聽(tīng)下來(lái)你可以很明顯的感受到The Beach Boys影子的存在。不知道能否感受音樂(lè)里又甜蜜又傷感的情緒。 Formerly known as the vocalist/songwriter/pianist for the West Coast punk-pop quintet Something Corporate, Andrew McMahon explores the dark side with his emo pop side project, Jack's Mannequin. Utilizing the talents of numerous friends and collaborators, McMahon began work on the collective's debut in 2004. The resulting Everything in Transit, a pop-based "concept album exploring his alienating return to the hometown he left to pursue his music," was released on Maverick Records in August of 2005 to a positive response from fans and critics alike. However, a supporting summer tour was cancelled after McMahon was subsequently diagnosed with Acute Lymphatic Leukemia that June. He underwent a successful bone marrow transplant (from his sister) in October and embarked on the long road to recovery. As McMahon recovered, a video for the album's first single, "The Mixed Tape," began making waves on VH1 and MTV. Jack's Mannequin played sporadic shows in 2006, including a brief summer headlining tour before serving as the opening act for O.A.R. on nationwide dates. A repackaged version of Transit appeared that fall coupled with a bonus DVD, and the band returned to the studio in mid-2007 to begin work on a sophomore effort. McMahon graced the cover of Alternative Press in January 2008, while an article inside the music magazine hyped the upcoming Jack's Mannequin release as one of the most highly-anticipated albums of 2008. Although originally scheduled for a summer release date, The Glass Passenger ultimately arrived that September. 更多>>
