艺人介绍

Margot & The Nuclear So And So's 是一支来自印第安那州，印第安那波利斯市的独立乐队。第一次看到这个乐队的时候，它又长又奇怪的名字一下子让我记住了。在一次采访中，乐队的核心Richard Edwards开玩笑说，这个乐队的一部分名字是来自于他的女儿Margot（事实上他根本没有女儿!），另一部分则来自于布什总统在读“nuclear"这个词时的搞笑发音。最后，起这个名字的原因还因为Richard Edwards在加利福尼亚遇到了一名女孩，她好像叫"Margot E."……（对于Richard Edwards这个名字的玩笑，我真的很无语……）。

事实上，乐队的这个奇怪名字来自于Gwyneth Paltrow在电影“The Royal Tenenbaums”中饰演的一个角色。

这个乐队的风格，被他们自己定义为"chamber pop"，与独立乐队Arcade Fire的风格相似，使用了很多浑厚的古典乐器（比如钢琴、小提琴、小号），有大段的弦乐演奏，散发着一种高雅的气质。

The dreamy bittersweet world of Margot & the Nuclear So and So's is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Richard Edwards. In 2004, he formed the eight-piece indie rock collective in his native Indianapolis, naming the band after the Margot Tenenbaum character in Wes Anderson's sophisticated comedy The Royal Tenenbaums. In addition to Edwards' scenic chamber pop sound, Margot & the Nuclear So and So's feature Andy Fry (guitar), Jesse Lee (cello), Emily Watkins (piano), Hubert Glover (trumpet), Chris Fry (drums), Casey Tennis (drums/percussion), and Tyler Watkins (bass). The band's debut album, The Dust of Retreat, was issued on Standard in spring 2005. The picturesque dozen-song set is themed around the musicians' own fancies of Greenwich Village in the 1960s. Playfully ironic, the modest Edwards has also admitted to critics that the bandmembers aim to play how they feel when they're watching Woody Allen films. In November 2005, Margot & the Nuclear So and So's signed with Artemis Records. A remixed and remastered version of The Dust of Retreat was released in March 2006, and the band relocated to the Epic roster while working on their sophomore release the following year.
