专辑介绍

这张专辑将会是第一张Brazzaville概念专辑。在她出生之前,灵魂尚漂浮在宇宙中的时候,故事就已经开始了。故事伴随着她的一生展开,直到死后她的灵魂回归到原点。来自威斯康星州密尔沃基的Todd Richards是我们的制作人。他是一个非常有才华的音乐家和制作人,非常开心能和他一起工作。几年前他为我们制作了21st Century Girl这首歌。

Brazzaville has long been known for the stories they tell with their songs. With their latest effort they have decided to take this process a step further and dedicate an entire album to telling a single story. Concept albums such as David Bowie’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, Tom Waits’ Frank’s Wild Years, The Who’s Quadrophenia and Willie Nelson’s Red Headed Stranger have long been favorites of Brazzaville’s front man, David Arthur Brown.

Morro Bay is Brazzaville’s very first concept album. It tells the story of Anabel, a girl born to a teenage mother in the drug- and prostitution-filled underworld of 1970s California. The songs follow her from before the moment of her birth when her soul is still floating around in space until after the moment of her death when it returns to its true home. In between these two points Anabel grows up and becomes, like her mother before her, part of a California filled with bikers, truck stops, desert highways and cheap motels. The album’s title, Morro Bay, refers to the seaside honeymoon town that Anabel dreams she might one day visit with a man who truly loves her.

The album deals with many themes: the bright California sunshine that will never be bright enough to illuminate Los Angeles’s dark side, the immortal soul and its status beyond the dangers and fears of this world, the existence of a truer reality beyond good and evil and the extreme love that God feels toward the weak and the helpless.
