专辑介绍

继去年推出首张专辑《Unnatural Objects and Their Humans》之后,DAVID BORING 于2018年推出细碟《Victims》。《Victims》EP是《Unnatural Objects...》三大主轴之一 ---「Their Humans」的一个延伸。三首歌,三种独特的经历和遭遇,以微观的角度去探讨「我」是如何被边缘化,成为荒谬社会下的「受害者」。 〈Victims〉一曲叙述一群行动者的心路历程;纵有崇高的抱负,在事与愿违之时他们却选择了互相责难,自我怜悯,最终沦为自己心魔的奴隶,难逃溃败的宿命。〈Victim#1〉则是一段私密的告白;在历尽伤痛、焦虑、失望,以至绝望后,要在这一片虚无中求存,就只能以麻木和压抑去包裹着自己。〈Victim#2〉审视「正常」社会中不能容纳的反社会倾向,一种以激烈反抗作为保护自己的机制;当虚伪、庸碌、腐败成为常态,你的炼狱就正正是你身边的所有人... 荒谬俨然是现代都市的新法则,越是清醒的人越只能把自己推向极端。 这张EP的制作找来在香港大隐隐于市的噪音乐队 Ex-Punishment 结他手 Nic 负责录音和混音,并以现场录音的方式录制〈Victim#1〉和〈#2〉。而实体发行则与香港独立唱片厂牌 Sweaty & Cramped 连手以限量7吋黑胶唱片形式推出。 DAVID BORING followed up their 2017 debut album <

serves as a cautionary tale depicting a lesson that was somehow repeated throughout history, but was never learnt. From recent global events, to something much closer to home,

s the personal journeys of those who took part in grand noble movements, and how ill-prepared they were when things fall into a downward spiral and the consequential development of their personal demons.

examines the sad tale of surviving the modern world through self-oppression, through the protagonist’s own private moment of unwinding - soaking in the luxury of being overwhelmed by sorrow, anxiety and exhaustion, before pushing himself back into a cold, hard and functional shell.

addresses the roots of anti-social behaviours, which the protagonist establishes to protect himself. The personal transgression was triggered and made necessary by the inane daily hypocrisy, idiocy and corruption of which the protagonist refuses to endure. The track can be read as a negatively inspirational piece - how to stay sane when hell is other people. <

and <#2> were recorded in a live take. The EP was also released physically on a limited 7” lathe-cut record with Hong Kong DIY label Sweaty and Cramped.
