艺人介绍

英国器乐后摇团。

莱斯特城(Leicester),典型的英格兰内陆工业城市。常年灰沉的天空,连绵的阴雨,略显拘谨的古老房屋和狭窄的石头街道,压抑的空气让人透不过气来。闲暇之时,除了去酒吧里开怀畅饮,还真是没有比呆在家里更好的选择。就这样,几个年轻人泡在卧室里看电视,研究电影,然后从中汲取营养捣鼓音乐。其结果,就是Maybeshewill的诞生。

几经兴衰的后摇滚(Post-R ock)发展到今天,颠覆性和包容性是其前进的动力。Maybe she will对传统后摇滚冗长篇幅的放弃和对电子元素的拿捏虽非首创但也绝对具有艺术革新性。同时作为纯器乐乐队,其天生就有缺少主唱的短板,因此没有人声的音乐往往在旋律上下大功夫,善于渲染气氛培养感情,很容易给个人思绪提供翻腾的空间。但乐队并不满足于此:他们把电影和电视对白的采样发挥到了极致,用一种独特的人声运用方式赋予音乐极强的画面感,以此来突出乐曲的主题并宣扬其社会和政治主张。

Maybeshewill是一只来自英国莱斯特的五人乐队,他们在过去的五年中不畏疲倦马不停蹄的巡演为他们在全世界范围内带来了大批狂热而忠实的拥趸。他们至今发行了三张完整的录音室专辑,秉承着独立自我的精神,他们自己录音,毫不排斥一切可能由他们自身产生的可能性。

乐队在2006年初在自己的唱片公司Robot Needs Home发行了一张四首歌的EP

‘Japanese Spy Transcript’,很快他们被日本唱片公司XTAL看中,并在同年发行了加长版的专辑。

Nottingham’s Field在2008年为乐队发行了首张乐队自己录音的专辑 ‘Not For Want Of Trying‘,受到了英国以及欧洲各大媒体杂志的广泛关注。这时乐队和他们的好朋友Fight Fire With Water,Worriedaboutsatan一起上路,并加紧时间赶制他们的第二张专辑。

2009年的‘Sing The Word Hope In Four-Part Harmony‘为乐队带来了更大的赞誉。他们进行了六个月高强度的巡演,现场也更加狂躁和不拘一格。他们受到了更广阔范围的喜爱,甚至波及到了日本和俄罗斯。

在经历了2010年一年的沉寂后,Mayshewill发行了单曲 single ‘To The Skies From A Hillside‘,在整个欧洲的巡演中,门票都销售一空。2011年的三月,第三张完整的录音室专辑‘I was here for a moment, then I was gone‘在英国横空出世。

Maybeshewill are an instrumental rock band from Leicester, United Kingdom whose music is characterised by the use of programmed electronic elements alongside more traditional 'rock' instrumentation. From their inception the band have been recognised for their use of monologues and film samples as well as references to popular culture in their song titles.

The musicians which make up Maybeshewill have changed a number of times, with only guitarists Robin Southby and John Helps appearing on every release. However, current drummer James Collins has been with the band since their first tour. This revolving door of musicians was the inspiration behind the title of their debut LP Not For Want Of Trying.

According to press releases, the name Maybeshewill is simply a string of pleasant sounding syllables which have no intrinsic meaning - hence it is being spelt as a single word without spaces.
