#45/46/47 King Biscuit Time/The Vines/The Zutons

Posted by chainly77 in New Albums 2006 on March 31, 2006

King Biscuit Time – Black Gold

UK: 15th May – Poptones

KBT原来是THE BETA BAND的STEVE MANSON的SIDE PROJECT, 在98年和2000年分别推出过两张EP, 现在随着BETA BAND的解散, KBT变成为STEVE的MAIN PROJECT. 首张专集也即将推出, 风格还是类似BETA BAND, 不过随意了些.

Outstanding track: Kwang Chow

The Vines – Vision Valley
AU: 3rd Apr – Engine Room
UK: 3rd Apr – Heavenly
US: 4th Apr – Capitol

THE VINES的第三张专集, 相对前两张来说成熟了许多, 此张专集水准介于前两者之间, 风格上到没有什么大的突破.

Outstanding tracks: Vision Valley, Don’t Listen To The Radio & Nothin’s Comin’

The Zutons – Tired Of Hanging Around

UK: 17th Apr – Deltasonic

与上一张专集正好隔了108周, THE ZUTONS的第二张专集终于要发行了. 整体感比上一张强, 风格也加重了许多, 另外为去年WARCHILD HELP录制的歌曲HELLO CONSIENCE也收录其中.

Outstanding tracks: Valerie, Oh Stacey (Look What You’ve Done!) & Why Won’t You Give Me Your Love

#43/44 Archie Bronson Outfit/The Essex Green

Posted by chainly77 in New Albums 2006 on March 28, 2006

Archie Bronson Outfit – Derdang Derdang

UK: 3rd Apr – Domino

ABO的第二张专集, 标准的车库风格, 比前要一张出色.

Outstanding track: Dart For My Sweerheart

The Essex Green – Cannibal Sea

US: 21st Mar – Merge

UK: 8th May – Track & Field

THE ESSEX GREEN的第三张专集, 作为LADYBUG TRANSISTOR的分支, 固然有着相同的风格, 不过ESSEX GREEN比LADYBUG多个女主唱.

#42 Six By Seven

Posted by chainly77 in New Albums 2006 on March 27, 2006

Six By Seven – Club Sandwich At The Peveril Hotel

UK: 6th Mar – Saturday Night Sunday Morning

原本打算以5人阵容COLLISION录制一张偏重风格的专集, 现在又以SIX BY SEVEN的名义发行, 说明SIX BY SEVEN仍将继续前进.

#41 The Tyde

Posted by chainly77 in New Albums 2006 on March 26, 2006

The Tyde – Three’s Co.

UK: 1st May – Rough Trade

这是今年比较期待的一张专集, 3年的等待The Tyde并未辜负所有的期望, Three’s Co.如同Twice保持了很高的水准, 非常浓重的加洲感觉.

Outstanding tracks: Brock Landers & Separate Cars

#40 The Elected

Posted by chainly77 in New Albums 2006 on March 25, 2006

The Elected – Sun, Sun, Sun

US: 24th Jan – Sub Pop

UK: 30th Jan – Sub Pop

Rilo Kiley的Side Project, 没有听过Rilo Kiley, 也没有听过他们的第一张专集, 无法作比较. 这是张不错的流行专集.

#39 Embrace

Embrace – This New Day

UK: 27th Mar – Independiente

随着2004年专集意外的夺得第一, 他们以最快速度推出了后继作品. 在这样的成功下, 乐队在新专集尝试了些从前所没有尝试过的风格, 除了一首慢歌其他都比较重.

Outstanding track: Nature’s Law

#38 Morrissey

Morrissey – Ringleader Of The Tormentors

UK: 3rd Apr – Attack

在2004年成功回归的之后, 今年MORRISSEY再接再厉, 再推新碟. 虽然封面比较嘲讽, 模仿古典唱片的形式. 但是音乐没有一点乱来, 看似结合了多种元素, 其实还是一张标准MOZ风格的专集.

#37 Gomez

Posted by chainly77 in New Albums 2006 on March 13, 2006

Gomez – How We Operate

US: 2nd May – ATO

UK: 29th May – Independiente

GOMEZ的第五张专集, 随着HUT的关闭, 他们目前在本土还没固定厂牌, 到是在大洋彼岸站稳了脚跟, 现签了DAVE MATTHEWS自己的公司ATO. 去年率先出了张LIVE, 而今年则推出了录音室专集. 不知是什么道理, 此张专集竟有DAVE MATTHEWS BAND的感觉, 民谣成分重了, 实验的少了.
