艺人介绍

Sebadoh绝对是90年代一支经典的Lo-Fi乐队,在美国国独立音乐圈里有“Lo-Fi之王”的美誉。1989年,被DinosaurJr.清除出乐队的LouBarlow组建了Sebadoh,被DinosaurJr.赶出的原因很简单,J.Mascis拒绝使用LouBarlow的作品,而Barlow组建Sebadoh的原因也很简单,DinosaurJr.的报复,而且这一目的也达到了,目前,Sebadoh的影响远远DinosaurJr.之上。 如果说SonicYouth确立并发扬了摇滚乐的噪音美学的话,那么Sebadoh就确立了Lo-Fi的摇滚美学,如果SonicYouth的ThurstonMoore听到Sebadoh的噪音的话,他一定会嫉妒LouBarlow的。

很多人对Lo-Fi存有一定的误解,认为只要乐器简陋、录音质量低劣就叫做Lo-Fi。其实Lo-Fi是一个相对的概念,乐器可以简陋,录音技术可以简陋,但录音质量绝对不能含糊。就这张“TheSebadoh”而言,听上去不像一张录音棚里出来的专辑,但它的确很Hi-Fi,其实Lo-Fi有时需高质量的录音来体现的。这样的Lo-Fi效果听上去才会很美。

也难怪Sebadoh 能意外走红。他们把七十年代「作曲家兼歌手」潮流(James Taylor、Joni Mitchell、John Denver、Jim Croce等)中的自省和旋律特色,使歌曲在充满扭曲又毫无修饰的粗糙面貌下,赤裸呈现出最最真诚、原始的力量。比较起来,虽然Michelle Shocked同样是凭借非正统录音手法的录音带成名,但她用随身听录的The Texas Campire Tapes的表现显然很平实而传统,是在器材限制下力求捕捉最保真的表演;Daniel Johnston和Sebadoh则是十足的搞怪,完全不把器材视为限制,甚至把它当成优点来处理。因此他们的走红更是不寻常。

Sebadoh is an American indie rock band, currently signed with Joyful Noise Recordings.[1] Formed in 1986 in Westfield, Massachusetts by Eric Gaffney and Dinosaur Jr bass player Lou Barlow. Along with such bands as Pavement and Guided by Voices, Sebadoh helped pioneer lo-fi music, a style of indie rock characterized by low-fidelity recording techniques, often on four-track machines. The band's early output, such as 1990's Weed Forestin' and 1991's Sebadoh III, was typical of this style. After a 14-year recording hiatus, during which time members pursued other projects while occasionally touring as Sebadoh, the group returned with the Secret EP and a new full-length album titled Defend Yourself, which were both self-recorded. Lead singer Lou Barlow says of the band's resurrected sound, "We kept to ourselves during the recording & didn’t have much, if any, outside intervention. That, to my mind, makes it a true Sebadoh record & aligns the style of Defend Yourself with our early releases."
