专辑介绍

◎ 4项葛莱美音乐奖提名、3座告示牌音乐奖肯定,美国钢琴摇滚乐团2012年全新第三张创作大碟

◎ 出道十年,团员各自经历人生的跌宕起伏,此辑尤其强调乐团的主体性,带领歌迷体验他们曾有的伤口,如今留下的尽是岁月的疤痕与故事

◎ 力邀曾为布鲁斯史普林斯汀、珍珠果酱和尼尔杨等操刀的制作人Brendan O'Brien掌舵监制

来自美国丹佛,2002年成军的The Fray,由钢琴/主唱Isaac Slade、吉他手Joe King、鼓手Ben Wysocki、吉他手Dave Welsh四人组成。回首这十年,他们各自经历了人生的跌宕起伏,但对他们而言,最重要的是乐团仍在,那些曾有过的伤口,如今已都愈合,留下的疤痕与故事,也就此展开。《Scars and Stories》是The Fray继双白金专辑《How to Save a Life》、同名专辑后,第三张全新创作大碟。对他们来说,疤痕的意义犹如地图,标示了你曾经走过之处,某种程度也指引着未来的方向。

与前两张专辑不同的是,The Fray这次的制作人是曾为布鲁斯史普林斯汀、珍珠果酱和尼尔杨等操刀的Brendan O'Brien掌舵监制,他让创作过程一向斟酌严密的The Fray,此回来不及理性思考,就跟着当下的直觉与本能前进,在这张专辑中,The Fray表现出在黑暗中毫无掩饰的自我,在全速行进时擦爆出的火花。这样的探索过程,对音乐人来说更是一大成长,也让The Fray完成这张勇敢突破自我的作品。专辑开场的〈Heartbeat〉创作灵感来自Slade一趟南非、卢安达之旅,旅途中,太多令人心痛的场景,当他打开心扉,遇见的却是许多很棒又很酷的人事物,因而写下这首歌。在〈Run For Your Life〉、〈48 To Go〉等摇滚重节拍歌曲后,〈Be Still〉以优美的钢琴伴奏,如圣歌般悠扬结束。The Fray如今的心境一如〈The Wind〉里,那迷失却对未来充满盼望的水手,某天在黑暗的大海上醒来,不知自己身在何方,只能拥抱自己的迷惑——船已经向远方出发,总有一天会到达那未知的岸。

Scars & Stories was recorded beginning in March 2011, and concluded in July 2011. During an interview with Vevo the band revealed that they used part of the album's budget to travel and see the world before recording Scars and Stories. For instance, the first single.

Critically acclaimed Denver-based foursome The Fray are back with their third album, Scars & Stories. The album was recorded at the legendary Blackbird Studios in Nashville. The Fray was able to hone their sound with the help of producer Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, and Neil Young). On the new recording, the band transforms their real life experiences into a collection of songs that are reflective, but still maintain a pop sensibility. The making of Scars and Stories fostered the most evolution the band has ever experienced, both lyrically and musically.
