The Surabaya trio have made a record that sounds like ten people working with ten times the budget. It is their second full-length, and where their 2024 debut Perak leaned comfortably on R&B and disco, this one ventures further into Indonesian tradition without ever turning that move into a thesis or a costume. Natassya Sianturi sings from dead center; the percussion is mixed bright enough to feel hand-played in the room beside you, and the grooves stay unhurried and sweet, closer to Khruangbin's patience than to anything chasing a chart. Two albums in, they already belong in the upper tier of contemporary soul. It is the one thing today I never once reached over to skip. 印尼泗水嘅三個人——主唱兼鍵盤 Natassya Sianturi、敲擊 Tommy Satwick、結他兼監製 Sinatrya Dharak——做出咗一張聽落似十個人、預算翻十倍嘅唱片。呢張係佢哋第二張全長,比 2024 年嘅出道作《Perak》更敢向印尼傳統音樂行,將「東方」同「西方」之間嗰道罅越縫越窄。Sianturi 把聲穩穩壓喺正中,敲擊被 mix 到發亮,律動甜到似蜜。出道得兩張,已經擠到當代騷靈樂嘅上層。今日唯一一張我想由頭到尾唔跳歌嘅碟,亦係今日 Pick。

White Heaven Next to Nothing

Genre類型
Japanese Psychedelic Rock / Reissue
Label廠牌
Black Editions(原 1994 Tokyo Noon Disk)
Format介質
2LP (45RPM), Digital
Released發行
2026-05-29(擴充definitive版);原作 1994,限量黑膠 250 張

The "newest" record of the weekend was, in fact, finished in 1994. Tokyo's Noon Disk pressed only 250 copies, and for three decades the album survived as a quietly traded relic of Japanese underground psychedelia—never reissued, never digitized, passed hand to hand among the faithful. Black Editions has now expanded it across two 45s, restoring three previously unheard versions and a long, narcotic reading of Bacharach and David's "The Look of Love." Resist the urge to file it under archaeology: it simply happens to be one of the most absorbing guitar records of the week, arriving thirty years behind schedule. If you open only one unfamiliar name today, let it be this one. 今日最「新」嘅一張,錄於 1994 年。東京嘅 Noon Disk 當年只壓咗 250 張黑膠,自此成為九十年代日本地下迷幻搖滾嘅聖物——三十年冇再版,從未數碼化。Black Editions 今次將佢擴成兩張 45 轉,加入三個從未發表嘅版本,仲有一首將 Bacharach 同 David 嘅〈The Look of Love〉拉成長版嘅迷魂曲。唔好當佢係考古:佢就係今日最好聽嘅迷幻搖滾之一,只係遲到咗三十年。如果你淨係點開一張陌生嘅,點呢張。

Marbled Eye Forever

Genre類型
Post-Punk / Noise Rock
Label廠牌
Digital Regress
Format介質
Vinyl LP(6-track EP), Streaming

"Post-punk" has been worn nearly to meaninglessness over the past decade, and this Oakland quartet quietly sets about reclaiming what the term was supposed to mean. Six songs: serrated guitar, drums that land like a kick to the ribs, bass with the pulse of a street fight, and cool, ashen, deadpan vocals. They sit somewhere between Total Control's motorik glide and the broken-nosed hardcore of Pyrex—caustic and loud, yet tightly built and held firmly in check, never spilling into mere noise. It is the proper soundtrack for a thoroughly bad mood, which, when you think about it, is exactly the occasion the whole form was invented to serve. 「Post-punk」呢個詞呢幾年俾人用到快冇意思,奧克蘭呢隊四人樂隊將佢嘅意思搶返。六首:鋸齒咁嘅結他、好似俾人踢咗一腳嘅鼓、街頭打交咁嘅 bass,配上冷到發灰嘅 goth 唸白。位置大概落喺 Total Control 嘅 motorik 同 Pyrex 嘅斷鼻硬核之間——刺耳、嘈雜,但結構緊、收得住。心情差嗰陣嘅標準配樂。Post-punk 本來就係做呢樣用嘅。

Genre類型

Sub Pop
Format介質
Blue Vinyl, CD, Streaming

The Welsh are born to be a little silly, and in this band's hands that is unmistakably a virtue. Built around the duo of Sam Willmett and Tilly Harris and formed in 2016, this is already their fifth studio album—and their third for Sub Pop. The riffs come thick, the lyrics arrive sharp and unruly, the tempos push relentlessly forward, the tongue lodged firmly in cheek from first track to last. It refuses to pose at profundity, and that refusal turns out to be its own kind of discipline: there is not a single dull minute in the bunch. If a short, fractured work week has ground your patience down, turn it all the way up and shout along with a band that cares about nothing beyond a good riff and the release that follows it. 威爾斯人天生鍾意搞笑,呢樣係優點。Sam Willmett 同 Tilly Harris 兩人核心,2016 年成軍,呢張已經係第五張錄音室專輯(Sub Pop 第三張,18 軌)。riff 密、歌詞�抵死、節奏向前衝,條脷一直頂喺面頰度。呢個被斬短嘅工作週搞到你冇耐性?將佢開到最大,跟住一班只在乎「riff 同宣洩」嘅人一齊嗌。佢唔深刻,但一秒都唔悶——有時候呢樣比深刻仲難做到。

Winspear(廠牌處子作)
Format介質
Cloudy Blue Vinyl, Streaming

Mark Scott, recording as villagerrr out of Columbus, Ohio, has put out four records in fourteen months; this one, his label debut for Winspear, is also the first he has made as a full five-piece rather than a solitary bedroom project. The sound drifts between slowcore and shoegaze, with strands of plain-spoken folk threaded all the way through. The standing risk in scaling an intimate solo undertaking up into a band is that the whispers harden into slogans, the private turned performative—Scott sidesteps it entirely, leaving every frayed edge and unresolved breath intact. Slow, blurred, and disarmingly honest, it is built for an afternoon you would frankly rather spend not talking to anyone. 哥倫布嘅 Mark Scott 十四個月做咗四張,呢張係佢由單人 project 擴成五人樂隊、登陸 Winspear 嘅廠牌處女作。把聲喺 slowcore 同 shoegaze 之間嚟回晃,撒咗少少民謠。一個人寫嘅嘢擴成一隊樂隊,最驚將細聲話變成口號——佢冇,啲毛邊都留住。慢、矇、誠實,啱一個唔想開口嘅下晝。

Format介質
Transparent / Swirl Vinyl, Streaming

The Californian Olivia Rose Austin calls what she makes "tiptoe music," and this EP does indeed move on tiptoe—stepping with great care around the slow collapse of a relationship, cradled the whole time by her fine-grained electro-acoustic arrangements. It is gentle without ever turning soft, carried by an angular electronic spine that nods openly to Stereolab and Broadcast, those patron saints of the pretty idea with a sharp edge. For anyone who wants quiet that still keeps its corners, it lands precisely in the gap between. The vinyl arrives in transparent and in a purple-and-yellow swirl; the packaging is the loudest thing about the release, but it is the songs, in the end, that stay. 加州嘅 Olivia Rose Austin 將自己做嘅嘢叫做「踮腳音樂」。呢張 EP 確實踮住腳——圍住一段關係嘅崩塌行,被佢精巧嘅電聲編曲托住。柔就柔,骨子裡有 Stereolab 同 Broadcast 嗰種稜角分明嘅電氣底。想要安靜、又唔想太軟嘅人,佢啱啱卡喺中間。透明膠同紫黃漩渦膠兩個版本,封面比把聲更搶眼,但留得住嘅係把聲。

Tia Rabinovitz's debut rests on a genuinely productive tension: a soprano sweet almost to the point of excess, with dissonance and intricacy buried just beneath the surface, waiting. On "Candy," a whistling flute hovers over a clipped, declarative delivery; behind "Deep Cut," the guitar wah keeps bubbling up like something half-submerged. Ten songs in thirty minutes, pulling from nineties alternative back toward an older, plainer strain of folk, the confessions taking sudden and unannounced turns as they go. The whole record carries the lingering damp of the Northern California backcountry she grew up in—green, overgrown, and a little haunted. Tia Rabinovitz 嘅出道作。一把甜到發膩嘅 soprano,底下卻埋住不諧同機巧——呢樣先係佢好玩嘅地方。〈Candy〉裡面一支笛飄喺斬釘截鐵嘅唸白上,〈Deep Cut〉嘅結他 wah 喺背後冒泡。十首歌,三十分鐘,由九十年代 alt 一路拐返更早嘅民謠,細聲話講講嚇突然俾你一個急轉彎。北加州野地大嘅人寫嘅歌,潮氣未散。
