上一篇文章提到這陣子一聽再聽的Indie Rock專輯，覺得應該要稍微介紹一下。
（獨立唱片的專輯封面都好迷人）
the Sleeping Years 《We're Becoming Islands One by One》
Vocals是最有特色的地方。整張專輯感覺是標準英倫的沉靜冷鬱，在主唱Dale Grundle聲音的引導下，融雜了頹廢、失意之感（但底下這首You and Me Against the World卻滿載著希望）。
Dale Grundle最神奇的地方是，他不僅是主唱與作曲者，還負責樂團的吉他、貝斯、鋼琴、編曲……這些樂器我沒學過，不知他是否博而不精，但還是很佩服啊。
the sleeping years – you and me against the world
[Lyrics]
From the harbour hill to where the crescent curls,
the black water swell, the turning of the world.
Strung lights and drunken sounds
glimmer at the edges of your town.
We were hiding for so long
with everyone else all trying to hold on
but that time has gone now -
it’s you and me against the…
(It’s a) bleak light to figure in,
our hands thrown up against the wind
like mottled masts and lightning bolts,
we’ll call up storms to take us far from home.
We’ve been running for so long
from jaded hearts and broken love
all waiting for the ground to open up,
well it’s you and me against the…
They’re down on us again, trying to keep us apart
but we’ll refuse to give in for this is it;
something we can win - this time.
And they’re frozen in this light while they’re marking time
for their fears shape them all until they’re rooted to the ground.
We’ve been trying for so long
just to be ourselves, to be left alone,
well if everyone is getting slow
then it’s you and me against the world.
Aereogramme 《My Heart Has A Wish That You Would Not Go》
在上次Sunday那篇就撥過一首它們的歌，這次的Barriers則呈現另一種不同風貌的Aereogramme（它們曲風實在很多變），這首歌稍微偏流行了一點，但MV和歌詞都意寓深遠。
[lyrics]
I thought the fight was over
All battles won
I thought you'd lit your blindfolds
Watch them burn
I thought that I could show you
All that I've found
But barriers dictate all sight and all sound
I found love in the loneliest places
Places I shouldn't have found
I found love in the home of a sinner
Wrapped in some bitter sweet song
Let me tell the truth
Let me come alive
Let me build bridges into your life
I'm sick of being torn
Again and again
I don't need permission to let you in
You noticed how we talk and how
We play our games
Leather bound appeal to
Change our ways
All I wanted was to show you
All that I've found
No exits, no answers, no prophecy bound
But I found love in the loneliest places
Places I shouldn't have found
I found love in the home of a sinner
Wrapped in some bitter sweet song
Oh, let me tell the truth
And let me come alive
Let me build bridges into your life
I'm sick of being torn again and again
I don't need conditions to let you in
I never meant to hurt you or
Drive you away
The barriers we've built, looks like there
Here to stay
Sambassadeur使節樂團 《Sambassadeur》
Sambassadeur的音樂，或許可以扭轉一般New Age等輕音樂聽眾對搖滾的印象。這些曲目有搖滾樂的輕快活潑，同時又毫無壓力。不需要嘶吼或熱血沸騰，搖滾樂也能找到放鬆。（Sambassadeur慣用的電子元素，倒和New Age有異曲同工之妙）
《Sambassadeur》和《Migration》都是很優秀的作品，有很多絕佳的曲目諸如Ice & Snow、New Moon、The Park。
Sambassadeur – Between the Lines
[lyrics]
The tambourines are shaking but I don’t hear a sound
It’s my favorite song but I don’t like the crowd
Wish I was able to see what you see
Turn all the words into poetry
So I close my eyes
I’m focused on whatever’s spinning in my mind
And I try to find a sign
But I never learn to read between the lines
I know that sometimes my eyes are too blue
But I am still counting on the stars for a clue
Wish I was able to see what you see
I don’t want it all to be chemistry
Voxtrot 《Voxtrot》
Voxtrot就比較接近大家所熟知的美國樂團了（的確是美國團），曲風也更為相似，卻依然有其獨特性。Real Life Version則是和他們一般曲風差異甚遠，不太搖滾，甚至有些庸俗，卻仍極為好聽迷人的一首，緩慢的鋼琴曲。

[Lyrics]
Love, spread out like seeds
Somebody walked away from landscape poverty
I came to find you
I came to see the beauty underway
That bloomed love, energy
And it turns around like you
And it turns around like me
Into something new
But the only thing I see
I see you, I see you
I see you, always struggling
To find some gentle song
Some mode of simple trust
and ways to understand
These reaching orchards
Of broken fame
Grown deep inside of us
By forced and troubled hands
I see you, I see you
I see you, always struggling
I see you, I see you
I see you, always struggling
To find the sun
Reaching down through shadowed brush (?)
Breaking off the bitter branch
Twisted roots like tans (?)
Dreams of all these spotlit kings (?)
Drinking up the light
Like California redwoods
Splitting up the night
And it turns around like you
And it turns around like me
All the talking we could do
Oh if only we could be
A real life version of you
A real life version of you
And a real life version of me
A real life version of me
I see you, I see you
I see you, always struggling
I see you, I see you
I see you, always struggling
這些樂團的MySpace網站都還有很多歌曲可以試聽，希望大家會喜歡。
此外，我一定要為前衛花園廣告一下，博客來正在大特價，每張都是三百出頭（定價越高折扣越多）。喜歡獨立唱片的一定要多支持啊！
特別推薦魏如萱、夢的雅朵、麥斯米蘭（雙CD精選集）和Yndi Halda；分別是華語、法語獨立、流行獨立和後搖滾。
（Yndi Halda還有13分鐘得全長曲目可以聽，有點耐心，就能感受一首搖滾歌曲完美的布局。）
