专辑介绍
by Heather Phares
As usual, Michigan-based sonic envelope-pushers His Name Is Alive continue to boggle expectations with their beautiful, exciting music. On their fourth album for 4AD, Stars on ESP, the group mixes dub, dream pop, surf, country, and Pet Sounds-era Beach Boys into something altogether unique. The songs range from the deceptively simple, folky &Answer to Rainbow at Midnight& and &Famous Goodbye King& to bouncy pop like &Bad Luck Girl,& &The Bees,& and &Across the Street.& Then there are the songs that defy easy description, like the beautiful, lilting &Dub Love Letter& and the &Good Vibrations& pastiche &Universal Frequencies.& On the whole, Stars on ESP is their most acoustic-based since 1992's Home Is in Your Head and their brightest-sounding since Mouth by Mouth. However, the trademark strange, spacy noises that peppered the band's other releases can still be found on this album, particularly on &What Else Is New List& and &Wall of Speed.& An eclectic, unique album -- it even includes a gospel song -- from an eclectic, unique band, Stars on ESP features His Name Is Alive at their most accessible and exciting.

- @杨素瑶(想来生活无非是痛苦和美丽)：His Name Is Alive在4AD旗下一待就是14年，足足发行了7张各有特色的优秀唱片，但是商业成功从来与他无缘，所以你没听说过他也是正常的... His Name Is Alive是以美国内向而多变的音乐天才Warren Defever为核心的音乐项目，在自己创作之外还有多位合作歌手和乐手等等。他一直形容自己的音乐是“内在音乐”，绝大部分是他在自己的家庭录音室完成，并且最好用耳机独自聆听。作为一位资深社恐，他还一直对现场演出和巡演非常抵触，这毫无疑问也严重地限制了乐队的知名度。随着时间和音乐潮流的变化，HNIA声音中的电子元素也越来越凸显，但一种有机融合了原声乐器和电子、数字和天然的
