A 26-year-old's first record and a 1977 ECM session, somehow sharing the same Friday 墨西哥城那支樂團，把葬禮的鼓點錄成了這週最安靜的一張

It takes a certain nerve to stake a debut album on a single composer, and Vasileva spends hers entirely inside Scriabin. She arranges his sonatas and preludes around the four elements — water, earth, fire, air — a map drawn as much for herself as for the listener. A prizewinner at the XXVI International Scriabin Competition (Second Prize and the Special Scriabin Prize), she plays this music with an expressive freedom that cannot be faked; the elemental conceit could have been a gimmick and instead becomes an argument about how this repertoire breathes. A first record that already knows what it wants. 把出道專輯整張押在一個作曲家身上，需要膽量。Vasileva 把她的第一張全數交給了 Scriabin，用「水、土、火、氣」四元素重新編排他的奏鳴曲與前奏曲——這既是給作曲家畫的地圖，也是給她自己。她是第 26 屆國際 Scriabin 大賽二等獎與特別 Scriabin 獎的雙料得主，彈這位作曲家時那股自由的表達勁，是裝不出來的。四元素的概念本可能流於噱頭，最後卻成了一種關於「這套曲目如何呼吸」的論證。一張一開口就知道自己要什麼的處女作。

In December 1977, Bill Connors carried a nylon-string guitar into Oslo's Talent Studio and sat down with three of the sharpest improvisers in Manfred Eicher's orbit — Garbarek on saxophones, Peacock on bass, DeJohnette on drums. Jan Erik Kongshaug's engineering gives the nylon strings actual volume, a three-dimensional bloom, and the playing keeps the warm and the cool circling each other inside a single phrase. Nearly half a century later it returns in ECM's Luminessence series — a tip-on gatefold, new liner notes, photographs not seen before. Billboard called it "a subtle tour de force" in 1978, and the surprising thing is how present it still sounds, less a relic than a rebuke to most of what gets released this week. 1977 年 12 月，Bill Connors 抱著一把尼龍弦吉他走進奧斯陸的 Talent Studio，身邊坐著 Garbarek、Peacock、DeJohnette——Manfred Eicher 麾下最鋒利的三個人。Jan Erik Kongshaug 的錄音讓尼龍弦有了體積，一種三維的綻放；冷與熱兩種爵士在同一段樂句裡互相試探。將近半個世紀後，它以 ECM 的 Luminessence 系列重發：tip-on gatefold 封套，新寫的內頁文字，還有從未公開的檔案照片。1978 年 Billboard 稱它「a subtle tour de force」，而真正讓人意外的，是它今天聽起來有多「現在」。

Last year's Baby Man was Eric D. Johnson alone in a room, handling every part himself. The Landfill reverses that instinct: he hauls his longtime touring band — David Dawda, Josh Mease, Frank LoCrasto, Kosta Galanopoulos — back into one space to play at once. You can hear the difference in the air around the songs. Across ten tracks the record wanders between soul, folk, indie pop and piano balladry without ever losing its footing, held together by Johnson's voice and his stubborn gift for melody. It is comfortable music in the best sense, warm and a little wistful, equally a reward for old listeners and a clean entry point for new ones. The title gestures at everything that accumulates; the songs make a case for keeping some of it. 去年的《Baby Man》是 Eric D. Johnson 一個人關在房間裡、所有聲部自己包辦做完的。《The Landfill》反其道而行：他把多年的巡演樂團——David Dawda、Josh Mease、Frank LoCrasto、Kosta Galanopoulos——整支拉回同一間錄音室，讓四個人在一個空間裡同時演奏。歌與歌之間的空氣因此不一樣了。十首作品在 soul、folk、indie pop 和鋼琴抒情之間漫步，鬆弛卻始終不散，全靠 Johnson 的嗓音和寫旋律的本能攥住。專輯名指向所有越堆越高的東西，而這些歌替其中一部分辯護：有些值得留。

The fourth album from this Mexico City five-piece has more in common with jazz than with the post-punk its name might promise. Recorded in a makeshift room in Santa María La Ribera with producer Sebastián Rojas, it is built on restrained drumming, deliberate silences, and the unhurried gravity of Oaxacan funerary music. Rather than resolve a feeling, these songs prefer to sit beside it. Dedicated to the indigenous morning star Tunuwame and to the poet Mahmoud Darwish, it is a record about presence and wandering that earns its quiet — the kind of thing that slips past in a busy release week and rewards the listener who doubles back. Bandcamp made it their Album of the Day, and for once the honor feels understated.

Spencer recruits bassist Kendall Wind and drummer Macky "Spider" Bowman — the rhythm section of Woodstock's Bobby Lees — and turns the garage up to its limit: fuzz bass shoved in your face, beats hard as diamonds, an avalanche of uncontrollable urges. Over twelve tracks he hollers, drools, croons, and laments the difficult times with the conviction of a man who has never once considered acting his age. Two cuts were recorded in Santiago, Chile, and they arrive with no loss of heat. He calls it "the New Super Heavy Rock for Hard Times," which is exactly the kind of grandiosity the music backs up. The CD adds bonus tracks for anyone who wants more of the racket. Spencer 找來貝斯手 Kendall Wind 和鼓手 Spider Bowman（伍德斯托克龐克樂團 The Bobby Lees 的節奏組），把車庫龐克擰到最滿：失真貝斯懟在臉上，鼓硬得像鑽石。他自己負責嚎叫、流口水式的性感哼唱，外加對這個艱難時代的連聲咒罵。十二首，他稱之為「為艱難時代造的新超重搖滾」。其中兩首是在智利聖地牙哥錄的，火氣一點沒降。五十多歲的人，把這套東西玩得比誰都沒耐心——這本身就是一種態度。

A debut from a 26-year-old Texan that carries itself like a third record. Cut partly at Valentine Recording Studios in Los Angeles and engineered by Jonny Bell (Cage the Elephant, Chicano Batman), Sun of Amen pairs an old-soul warmth with a clarity that keeps it from drifting into pastiche. The band includes Tommy de Bourbon, the multi-instrumentalist who plays pedal steel in Lana Del Rey's touring outfit, and the playing has that lived-in patience. What's striking is the restraint — across ten songs Amen resists the first-album urge to prove everything at once, and the result feels less like an introduction than a quiet assurance. Remember the name. 26 歲德州創作歌手的第一張唱片，姿態卻像第三張。專輯一半錄於洛杉磯的 Valentine Recording Studios，由 Jonny Bell（Cage the Elephant、Chicano Batman）掌錄音，給老靈魂式的暖意配上一種少見的清澈。樂團裡有 Tommy de Bourbon——Lana Del Rey 巡演裡那位踏板鋼棒吉他手。最難得的是剋制：十首歌裡，聽不到處女作急著一次證明所有事的毛病，反倒像一句安靜的保證。值得現在就記住這個名字。
