小简介
Angela McCluskey能让我联想到黄昏。云朵。迟暮的阳光。或者,还有一杯将饮未饮的茶。一个人对着一面空墙,打发着漫长潮湿的时光。我曾经怀念过的,十八楼以上的时光。空气清新,看不到灰尘的跌落。而她的声音就从这个时候开始响起,有一种漫无目的的慵懒,却又带着始终要抵达某处的倾向。
《The Things We Do》是Angela McCluskey从Wild Colonials乐团单飞后的第一张个人专辑。
很难确认Angela McCluskey声音的爆发力究竟有多强 ......
Scottish singer-songwriter Angela McCluskey has a cult following, but she’s probably most widely known through a car promotion: her voice is heard on Télépopmusik’s song “Breathe” in a Mitsubishi ad.
“Car commercials are the only way anybody’s ever going to hear your music anymore,” she tells NPR’s Jennifer Ludden. “They’re the only people taking any chances.”
The former lead singer of Wild Colonials released her debut solo CD, The Things We Do, in 2004. Recorded in only a few days in New York and Sweden, the album showcases McCluskey’s extraordinary, raw vocals.
While the CD includes some upbeat pop tunes - notably the first single, “It’s Been Done” - McCluskey confesses to preferring the more depressing, melancholy songs. “Give me a good ol’ dose of misery anyday,” she says, “I think it’s a Scottish thing.”
Ms McCluskey’s just finished recording her latest album ‘You Could Cause Trouble In An Empty House’, something that she’s no doubt been told many times.
