专辑介绍
Though their sound blends everything from dub to reggae to Middle Eastern folk, Washington, DC’s own Thievery Corporation developed in the tradition of Bossa Nova. They’ll return to those roots with the release of their seventh studio album, Saudade, due out April 1st their own ESL Music label.
Reacquainting themselves with Brazilian legends like Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gal Costa, and Luis Bonfá, the core duo of DJs Rob Garza and Eric Hilton sought to create a “delicate yet deeply sensuous sound”, according to a press release. (“Saudade” is the Portuguese word for “contented melancholy” or “the presence of absence.”) Like 2011′s Culture of Fear, the album is packed with guest contributors, including U.N.K.L.E., Argentine singer Federico Aubele, Brazilian percussionist Roberto Santos, and longtime Thievery cohort LouLou Ghelichkhani.
“We always try to progress into something different and stretch our musical chops, and taking a whole album to dive into this one sound seemed like a really great way to do that,” said Eric Hilton in an issued statement. Added Rob Garza, “It’s a bit of a departure for us, but at the same time these are our roots, this is what brought us together. It’s us coming full circle from electronic music back to something organic before we move on to our next chapter.”
Our first taste of the “very feminine record” comes with “Depth Of My Soul”, a rich and dramatic jazz-tune. Feeling at home in an old movie or a cocktail lounge, guest vocalist Shana Halligan passionately croons over luxuriant strings and vibrant orchestration. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Garza said the song has lots of “hidden meanings, adding, “It’s kind of inspired by love, but it’s also inspired by psychedelic moments musically from all types of soundtracks. I appreciate a lot of films from that era, just the look, the stylings, the locations, everything.”

- @Sagius：---“It’s a bit of a departure for us, but at the same time these are our roots, this is what brought us together. It’s us coming full circle from electronic music back to something organic before we move on to our next chapter.” 的确，新专辑曲风变化的快不认识了，几乎褪去了他们以往惯用的浓厚的电子痕迹，继而转向了清秀的略带哀伤的异域民谣式的叙事方式。专辑依然沿袭了一众熟悉的客座歌手，不过这次他们的声音没有被华丽的电子音效包裹，而是就好像坐在你对面安静平和的浅唱。正如他们所说，这是一张有别于之前任何作品的专辑，灵感取自两人对巴西音乐共同的热爱，这也是最初这个组合的由来。这应该是一张叙事的专辑，十三首歌只有一首没有歌词，每首似乎都是一个独立的故事，但都一致流露出相似的哀伤。专辑标题Saudade取自葡萄牙语，意为对失去的人和往事的追忆，音符中到处流淌着伤感，让人深深陷入对于过去怅然若失的无限缅怀中，'a longing for the presence of absence'. 专辑的最后一首Depth Of My Soul是发行前唯一一首公开发布的，声优Shana Halligan是Bitter:Sweet的vocal，写下这些字的时候这首歌一直在不断循环，她的声音一如既往的细腻委婉，伴着背景的钢琴曲，一步三回头，和着提琴的哀鸣，向我们作了惜别。
