艺人介绍

无论是你将Shearwater理解成postrock的新名词还是具有民谣气质的另类乐团,都丝毫不能阻止这样晶莹剔透的音乐成为我们音乐大餐里的另一份主食,Shearwater直译过来是水剃鸟的意思,这种飞翔在潮湿海岸上的鸥鸟,性格坚毅,飞行姿势优美舒展,一如他们的音乐。乐团由Aill Sheff和jonathan Meiburg二人组成,同时Meiburg也是乐团的主唱。

说到Meiburg这个男人,不得不提到他那副嗓子。在我个人看来,Shearwater因为Meiburg的存在,而得以区别于其他同样性质的乐团,当然了我这里不是说Meiburg的嗓音有多独特多出众,我的意思只是说当Meiburg和Shearwater相遇的时候,他们的融合改变了整个他们自己音乐的小气候,这些无意间偶然促成的奇特效应让我们又一次知道了世界上没有最好的个体,只有最完美的互补集体。但是我还是想赞扬一下Meiburg的嗓音,它优雅的像是在凝固的空气里作了一次低空滑行,柔缓的声音磁片有时候低迷唯美的不成章节,让人感到撕裂,同时它也是病态的,却又充溢着午后阳光淡淡的伤感味道,很多幽闭的感情在这个时候悄无声息的流露出来,需要表达情感的方式,就在其中,等待着适合的人们去将这幸存者的盒子打开!

看的出来Shearwater在音乐上有自己独特的见解,也想做点真正属于自己的东西出来,往往这类凭自己感觉做音乐的乐团,境遇都出奇的相同:要么夭折要么瞬间辉煌,而Shearwater却介与两者之间,其实这倒也没什么不好,音乐之外的东西谁顾得了那么多?是听众还是歌者他们自己会去介意这些东西呢?毕竟真正忠于生活的人们,他们生命里每一寸光阴都是宝贵的,他们在每一天里都力图使自己的生命能燃烧起来,充满温暖和力量,还有幸福的质感。Shearwater音乐里民谣的那一部分总是恰到好处的给你腾出一个空间,让你不至于匆匆而有虚此行。

从01年的《Dissolving Room 》到02年的《Everybody Makes Mistakes 》,先不论Dead Milkmen和Brian两人的参与所带来的改变,单单从越来越轻松自如的音乐掌握力度就让我们看到了Shearwater的才华和潜力正在时光的追赶下慢慢的被打磨的光滑,没有拘谨在具体的音乐形式里,从细腻的感情出发给我们打造出了一张内容丰富资源广阔的好专辑,带着这张02年的专辑Shearwater也开始了在他们音乐海洋里真正意义上的飞翔。在随后乐队的作品里,我们能听到更多优美乐器的声音,其中也不乏一些电气上的,做工都很精致和细心,乐团成长的迅速而又自然,不禁让人赞叹。

在这个炎夏的夜晚,我看见天空只有一颗孤独的星辰,那是你的眼睛,你的嘴唇,我听着海鸟的歌声,沉沉的的爱着你。

Originally conceived as a one-off collaboration between Okkervil River's Will Sheff and Kingfisher's Jonathan Meiburg, Shearwater continues the tradition of detailed, reflective songwriting set by classic artists like Nick Drake and Leonard Cohen and contemporary indie rock songwriters such as Bill Callahan and Will Oldham. The group began after Sheff and Meiburg had known each other for just a week with the idea that the duo wanted to make an album called The Dissolving Room. The pair exchanged songwriting ideas through e-mail and were so pleased with the results that they decided to make their project into a permanent, touring affair. The Dissolving Room was released in early 2001 by the Grey Flat imprint. The following year Shearwater released another album, Everybody Makes Mistakes, and their third album, Winged Life, followed in 2004. Meiburg's influence over the direction of the band steadily increased over the years, and this trend continued on the band's fourth release, 2006's Palo Santo. The band moved from Misra to Matador that year, making way for the release of an expanded edition of Palo Santo in 2007, followed by Rook in 2008.
