专辑介绍
by MacKenzie Wilson
The Silent League's debut album The Orchestra, Sadly, Has Refused is the soundtrack for any indie rock fan weary of working for a living. If you're saving yourself by indulging in reveries of a better scene, look toward this post-rock/experimental symphony instead. Once a touring keyboardist for Mercury Rev, Justin Russo composes an atmospheric work of art similar to his former band, but with an ease much like the Flaming Lips' The Soft Bulletin and the Polyphonic Spree's first album. Along with an ensemble cast of musicians -- Phil Williams (drums), Michael Adzich (keyboards), Megan Loomis (violin), Rich Meyer (bass), and Shannon Fields (electric guitar) -- the Silent League go beyond the blackish imagery of their name. They make it possible to swim with the stream of majestic instrumentation, particularly on "Motion Pictures" and "Conversation." These are basic pop tunes with hints of melancholy; however, Russo's slate-colored tenor makes defeat and disappointment seem less concerning. The album's title track reaches for long-gone treasured moments while "Goliath" basks in sunnier string arrangements for the album's finest journey in self-assessment. The Orchestra, Sadly, Has Refused also includes participation from Interpol's Sam Fogarino, Grand Mal guitarist Bill Whitten, Mercury Rev's Sean "Grasshopper" Mackowiack, and Russo's brother and fellow Hopewell member Jason Russo. It's a family circle of sorts as Russo personal search for a greater adventure unfolds. He's joined the rest of us in trying to find that "funny feeling" that makes things seems A-OK.

- @jordancb(人生固然有芳华，卻也不过...)：虾米的音乐品味是最好的！这么专业的且不媚俗的团队，不应该被劣币的环境所“淘汰”！也许虾米在争夺版权的混战中失利，也许虾米在软件音乐生态的坚守让他丢失太多的活跃“听众”，但我想中国音乐版图中必须有虾米音乐的一席之地，如果在线活跃人数只有区区2000万人，不足QQ、酷狗、酷我的零头，但是这2000万人是真正的音乐欣赏者，是纯正的音乐热爱者，是中国新音乐坚定的守护者和推动者！虾米一定要坚持住，不仅为了音乐的理想，也为了爱你的同行者。。。
