Andris Nelsons / Wiener Philharmoniker — Mahler: Symphony No. 5
01 Pick of the Day 今日精選

Andris Nelsons / Wiener Philharmoniker Mahler: Symphony No. 5

Genre類型
Classical / Late Romantic / Live Recording
Label廠牌
Deutsche Grammophon
Format介質
2LP (May 22), Digital (May 1)

Recorded at the 2022 Salzburg Festival, released digitally on May 1, and now arriving as a 2LP on May 22, this is the first installment of what Deutsche Grammophon has positioned as a long-haul Nelsons / VPO Mahler cycle (the full 14-CD box is scheduled for October). The conducting is patient — Nelsons does not rush the Trauermarsch into theater — and the orchestra's tone in the third-movement Scherzo is the reason to hear it. Not the most ecstatic Mahler Fifth in print, but one of the most considered. Nelsons 與維也納愛樂的馬勒交響曲全集第一份正式投件。2022 年薩爾斯堡音樂節的現場錄音,數字版 5 月 1 日上,2LP 黑膠在 5 月 22 日落地。完整 14CD 套裝定檔 10/23。

Future Islands From a Hole in the Floor to a Fountain of Youth

Genre類型
Synth-Pop / Indie Rock / Rarities Anthology
Label廠牌
4AD
Format介質
2LP (Blue + Apricot), CD, Digital

Bassist William Cashion curated this twenty-track anthology for the band's twentieth anniversary; half the songs have never been on streaming. The title is his — "the hole in the floor is the everyday, but the fountain is the magic that happens when the life you dreamed about actually becomes the one you're living" — and it doubles as a thesis on what Future Islands have actually been making for two decades. Not the greatest hits package; closer to a band quietly emptying its desk. The Blue and Apricot double-LP is the prettiest thing 4AD has pressed this year. 二十週年紀念盤。20 首歌,半數從未上過串流。Bassist William Cashion 自己挑選、自己命名——「地板上的洞是日常,噴泉是夢想偶爾變成現實的瞬間」。這是一句歌詞,也是 Future Islands 二十年的方法論。

Bleachers everyone for ten minutes

Genre類型
Indie Pop / Sax-Driven Pop Rock
Label廠牌
Dirty Hit
Format介質
LP(Indie Exclusive White & Lilac D2C), CD, Digital

Jack Antonoff has finally signed to Dirty Hit, which is a sentence that would have been unimaginable five years ago and now reads as inevitable. The eleven songs on everyone for ten minutes move between harmony-laden folk rock and shimmering pop soul and the saxophone-shaped New Jersey idiom Bleachers refuse to retire. "i can't believe you're gone" works the Antonoff trick of getting optimistic and elegiac in the same chord change. The Indie Exclusive White vinyl will be gone by Saturday. Jack Antonoff 終於簽到 Dirty Hit——五年前這是個無法想像的句子,現在像是註定。十一首歌一以貫之地在 harmony-laden folk rock、shimmering pop soul、和 Bleachers 怎麼都戒不掉的 sax-shaped New Jersey 之間來回切。

Criteria — SEIZE!

Criteria SEIZE!

Genre類型
Indie Rock / Heavy Alt-Rock
Label廠牌
Spartan Records
Format介質
LP, CD, Digital

Stephen Pedersen left Cursive twenty years ago and has run Criteria as a part-time-but-serious vehicle since. SEIZE! is the first record under that banner in five years, recorded over seven winter days at ARC Studios in Omaha with Matt Bayles producing. Pedersen calls it "pristinely heavy rock," and the reference points — Siamese Dream's symphonic guitars, Battles' syncopation, Quicksand's tension — are all visible. Much of the album was written in open C, which turns the guitar into a resonating slab. The title puns: seize as in seize the day, seize as in collapse. Both meanings land. Stephen Pedersen 二十年前從 Cursive 出走後一直以兼職但認真的姿態經營 Criteria。《SEIZE!》是距上一張《Years》五年新作。ARC Studios 七個冬天錄完,Matt Bayles 製作。

JPEGMAFIA Experimental Rap

Genre類型
Experimental / Industrial / Noise Rap
Label廠牌
AWAL
Format介質
2LP, 4LP Premium (含 2 張 instrumentals), CD, Digital

Twenty-five tracks, all of them written, mixed, and produced by Peggy alone. Putting "experimental" in the title is half threat, half receipt: the singles "babygirl" (April 30) and "War Over Land" (May 7) already disclosed where this was going — gospel samples set against industrial percussion, underground rap's structural sense torqued until the structure shows. At this scale the record will reward either close attention or none at all. The middle ground is the only failure mode. Peggy 第六張,25 曲,一人全程寫、混、產。把「實驗」放進標題等於把讀者請進 ring——這名字幾乎是挑釁。

ROHS! Records (Cat# ROHS!080CD)
Format介質
CD(限量 80 張手編號亞麻摺頁), Digital

Matteo Mariano's solo project; ROHS!'s eightieth catalog number; an edition of eighty hand-numbered linen-textured CDs. A Spring Diary was written during Italy's first lockdown in 2020, but Mariano insists it is not a pandemic record — he found old photographs of his son taken in 2015 while sorting through drawers in March, and the album is what came out of that retrieval. The four tracks are titled by date: March 15, March 30, April 15, May 1. Andrea Porcu remastered. Quiet, careful, never sentimental. The kind of release that demonstrates why small Italian labels still matter. Matteo Mariano 的個人項目。ROHS! 八十號 catalog,限量八十張手編號亞麻折頁 CD。

Genre類型
Soul / Indonesian Soul / Vintage R&B
Label廠牌
Big Crown Records
Format介質
LP(Clear Emerald & Black), CD, Tape, Digital

Sophomore record from the Surabaya trio, two years after the warmly received Perak. Big Crown — Bobby Oroza and the Lee Fields catalog — keeps finding bands that can do vintage-soul phrasing without the hauntology problem, and Thee Marloes are now their best ongoing argument. Di Hotel Malibu is looser than the debut, more conversational, and more openly Indonesian: vowels and humidity present in the mix instead of scrubbed out. Clear Emerald vinyl variant is the visual move of the week. 印尼泗水(Surabaya)三人組合的二專,緊跟 2024《Perak》。Big Crown——紐約那家給老靈魂找新身體的廠牌——一直擅長挑出能做 vintage soul 卻不掉進考古學陷阱的樂隊。Thee Marloes 是這個賭注目前最好的證明。
