Town

靈感來自於 The Fur. 2018 初夏於歐洲巡迴表演時的紀錄照片,像是:探出屋頂窗戶看見的城市風景、坐在河堤啃漢堡、和當地朋友交談時的畫面…等等。
於是有了這樣的主視覺:爬上屋頂查看窗戶外傳來的聲響為何,發現不知道從哪來的球持續在墜落,驚喜的是在降落以前,誰也猜不到其實是顆荷包蛋!像是在生活的城鎮中《TOWN》,原本互不相識的人們,由一連串事物的碰撞,發生不可預期的連結,而有了接下來的故事。
专辑信息
整理 Blaugust 订阅流时,在 Renkon 的 Wandering through October 里看到了 Serene Reminder by The Fur.,就找来听了听。现在听歌有个习惯,如果某首歌听着不错,我会翻一翻这个歌手的其他专辑,于是听到了 Town。
Town 这张专辑给我的感觉是放松的、绵软的,会让我想到这些场景:散步、躺在树底下看着蓝天、傍晚时分在海边坐着吹着微风,悠闲而心情愉悦。
这张献给「高雄的夏日、阳光与蓝天」的专辑,充盈着悠闲舒缓的宁静曲调,必将带你进入愉悦心境。主唱 Savanna (其声线令人联想到 SALES 的 Lauren Morgan 和 Sobs 的 Celine Autumn) 在 Zero 与 Ren 温暖吉他伴奏下的吟唱令人沉醉,而 Wen Wen 的合成器则为整体音效增添朦胧质感。若说 The Fur. 最擅长什么,那必然是创作出让你想躺下仰望「蓝天」与流云的旋律。
专辑的歌词我很喜欢,简单而温暖,网易云中的翻译也很棒。

The Fur. 的第二张专辑 Serene Reminder 也蛮好听的,更活泼,像是在夜晚开着车穿梭在隧道里,进入一段奇幻的旅程。
两张专辑我都很喜欢,遗憾的是乐队已经休团了,在最后的贴文里柚子写道:
就在現在,如果你喜歡哪個樂團,就在此刻好好地喜歡他們,因為樂團是人組成的,人與人之間是一種緣份,雖然聽起來很老氣。希望沒有人會因為必須離開而感到愧疚,因為作出選擇也是勇敢的一種,就像你聽到 Serene Reminder 的最後一首歌,car of yours,它是結束的同時也是啟程,祝你我都在這趟美好的地球之旅,各自路上前進,平安。
Car of Yours 结束后循环的第一首明明是 Stay with Me。不过既然他们已经决定好踏上新的旅途,那就希望他们都好,平安。
Julie, please be free
Do whatever you need to do
Nothing to weep for anymore
No, you don’t need to worry
