Arcadi Volodos — Schubert: Piano Sonata No. 17 in D Major, D. 850 / Schumann: Kinderszenen Op. 15

Genre類型: Classical / Piano
Label廠牌: Sony Classical
Format介質: CD / Streaming

被同行稱為「鋼琴家中的鋼琴家」的 Volodos，上一張錄音室專輯是 2019 年。七年之後，他在巴黎路易威登基金會完成了這份現場錄音。曲目選擇本身就是一個聲明：Schubert D 大調奏鳴曲 D.850——一首看似陽光實則暗藏不安的作品，和 Schumann 的《童年情景》——十三首寫給成年人的「兒童」曲目。Volodos 的 Schubert 向來不追求所謂的「透明」，他讓每一個和聲轉換都有自己的重力場，讓聽者在最熟悉的旋律裡發現從未注意過的角落。

Cyrille Dubois / Brussels Philharmonic / Pierre Dumoussaud — So Poétique!

Genre類型: Classical / Vocal / Orchestral
Label廠牌: Alpha Classics
Format介質: CD / Streaming

The French mélodie with orchestral accompaniment is a genre that barely exists in the contemporary imagination, which is precisely the point. Tenor Cyrille Dubois, fresh off his operatic-rarities album So Romantique!, teams with the Palazzetto Bru Zane—a Venetian institution devoted to excavating forgotten French Romantic repertoire—for twenty-four songs spanning Gounod, Saint-Saëns, Godard, Massenet, and Fauré. Each is a miniature drama contained in the most refined of vessels. Pierre Dumoussaud conducts the Brussels Philharmonic with the chamber-music sensitivity these delicate pieces demand. This is musicological archaeology that happens to be beautiful. 法語藝術歌曲配管絃樂伴奏——這個體裁在當代幾乎已經消失了。法國男高音 Dubois 繼上一張歌劇冷門曲目集《So Romantique!》之後，和威尼斯的 Palazzetto Bru Zane 基金會合作，進行了一次音樂學考古：24 首歌橫跨 Gounod、Saint-Saëns、Godard、Massenet、Fauré。每一首都是 mélodie 這個精緻容器裡的微型戲劇。指揮 Pierre Dumoussaud 帶領布魯塞爾愛樂以室內樂的敏感度處理這些纖細的作品。

Dolphin Hyperspace — ECHOLOCATION

Genre類型: Jazz Fusion / Experimental
Label廠牌: Self-released
Format介質: Streaming

Nicole McCabe (saxophone) and Logan Kane (bass) operate from the LA DIY circuit, where the distinction between jazz club and warehouse rave dissolved some time ago. Their fifteen-track album is largely improvised, which in lesser hands would be a warning; here, it is a promise. The guest list reads like a roll call of the city's most restless musicians: KNOWER's Louis Cole appears on multiple tracks, Grammy-winning pianist Gerald Clayton drops by, and Thundercat's drummer Justin Brown provides the rhythmic foundation that keeps the whole thing from spinning into orbit. Bandcamp Daily named it an Essential Release this week, and for once the designation feels earned rather than rotational. 洛杉磯 DIY 圈的電子爵士雙人組——薩克斯手 Nicole McCabe 和貝斯手 Logan Kane——做出了一張 15 首歌的即興狂歡。客座名單讀起來像洛杉磯地下音樂的花名冊：KNOWER 的 Louis Cole（多首參與）、格萊美獎鋼琴家 Gerald Clayton、Thundercat 鼓手 Justin Brown。Bandcamp Daily 將其列為本週 Essential Release，稱之為「a whirling dervish of a jazz album」。在爵士和電子 rave 之間的縫隙裡，他們找到了一個極其嗨的位置。

Maya Hawke — Maitreya Corso

Genre類型: Singer-Songwriter / Indie
Label廠牌: Mom + Pop
Format介質: Vinyl / CD / Streaming

By her fourth album, Hawke has earned the right to be discussed on her own terms. Written and produced with Christian Lee Hutson and Benjamin Lazar Davis, Maitreya Corso is built around a fictional character of the same name—a "magical misfit" whose inability to adapt to the surrounding world forces her to construct one of her own. It is, in other words, a concept album about the ego, though Hawke wears the conceit lightly enough that you might not notice unless you read the press notes. Thirteen songs navigate between folk intimacy and art-pop ambition without settling comfortably in either camp, which may be the point. 第四張專輯。Maya Hawke 和 Christian Lee Hutson、Benjamin Lazar Davis 共同創作製作，圍繞一個叫 Maitreya Corso 的虛構角色展開——一個「因為無法適應世界而創造了自己世界」的怪咖。概念專輯的殼子，13 首歌在 folk 和 art-pop 之間遊走。Far Out Magazine 的評價是「assume nothing, listen to everything」。她終於從 Stranger Things 的陰影裡走出來了。

KLONNS — G.A.M.E.S.

Genre類型: Japanese Hardcore / D-Beat
Label廠牌: Iron Lung Records
Format介質: Vinyl / CD

Tokyo's KLONNS have spent a decade as fixtures of the New Wave of Japanese Hardcore, and their second album for Iron Lung Records—the Portland label that has quietly become the most reliable curatorial voice in global punk—carries forward the lineage of Lip Cream and GISM while absorbing the metallic, pit-call heaviness of East Coast American hardcore. Bandcamp Daily described the result as "rancid-ass guitar music," a compliment of the highest order in this context. The recording is septic, the riffs are nasty, and the songwriting is admirably free of pretension. Thirty minutes, no filler. 東京硬核廠牌 Iron Lung 出品。KLONNS 是「新浪潮日本硬核」運動的中堅力量，第二張專輯繼承了 Lip Cream 和 GISM 的 DNA，同時吸收了波士頓和紐約硬核的金屬化 riff。Bandcamp Daily 的評語精準到位：「rancid-ass guitar music」——在這個語境下，這是最高的讚美。30 分鐘，沒有一秒多餘。

duendita — existential thottie

Genre類型: Experimental R&B / Jazz / Soul
Label廠牌: 10k Global
Format介質: Streaming

Candace Lee Camacho, who records as duendita, built this album alone in Berlin, running beats on a Digitakt late at night until the twelve songs existed as demos. Harpist Samantha Feliciano, drummers Julian Berann and Anton Remy, and co-producer Noah Becker arrived later, fleshing out structures that already had their emotional architecture in place. The result sits at the intersection of lo-fi soul, gospel-inflected vocal layering, and experimental electronic production—a combination that sounds cluttered on paper and cohesive on playback. NPR and Stereogum both flagged it; Camacho herself called the songs "so personal, like a diary," which is the sort of description that is either a cliché or the truth, and here it appears to be the latter. 皇后區出身、現居柏林的 Candace Lee Camacho，深夜獨自用 Digitakt 打底做出了 12 首歌的 demo，豎琴手、鼓手、共同製作人後來才加入。bass 線厚重，福音和聲層疊，電子製作帶著迷幻。NPR 和 Stereogum 都推了。她自己說這些歌「太私密了，像日記」——聽完之後你會覺得她沒有誇張。

Taj Mahal & Phantom Blues Band — Time

Genre類型: Blues / Soul
Label廠牌: Resonatin' Records
Format介質: CD / Streaming

The most notable thing about Time may be its timeline. Recorded in 2010 with a powerhouse ensemble—guitarist Johnny Lee Schell, drummer Tony Braunagel, organist Mick Weaver, a horn section led by Joe Sublett—the album sat unreleased for sixteen years, for reasons no one has publicly explained. The title track is a previously unheard Bill Withers composition, which alone would justify the archaeological effort. Ten songs, thirty-nine minutes, and the unmistakable authority of a five-time Grammy winner who has been doing this for six decades and shows no interest in doing it any differently. 這張專輯的故事比音樂更先抓住你：2010 年錄製，2026 年發行，中間十六年沒有任何解釋。五座格萊美得主 Taj Mahal 帶領一支全明星陣容——吉他手 Johnny Lee Schell、鼓手 Tony Braunagel、管風琴手 Mick Weaver——交出了 10 首歌、39 分鐘的藍調。重頭戲是標題曲〈Time〉，一首此前從未發表的 Bill Withers 作曲。十六年後聽到 Bill Withers 的新歌，這本身就值回票價。

Oteil Burbridge & Lamar Williams Jr. — The Offering

Genre類型: Jazz-Funk / Soul / Roots
Label廠牌: Self-released
Format介質: Streaming

The connection between these two bassists runs deeper than music: Lamar Williams Sr. played in the Allman Brothers Band before Oteil Burbridge took the chair. Their collaboration began over a decade ago in Burbridge's basement in Georgia, where he was teaching himself banjo, and it was finally committed to tape in December 2024 at Flóki Studios on Iceland's north coast. Soulive co-founder Alan Evans produced eight songs that weave Southern soul, gospel, improvisational rock, and West African percussion into something that resists genre classification while honouring all of its sources. The ensemble—including Jerry Garcia Band organist Melvin Seals and percussionist Weedie Braimah—plays with the loose precision of musicians who have been listening to each other for years. 兩位貝斯手的十年之約。Oteil Burbridge（Dead & Company、Allman Brothers Band）和 Lamar Williams Jr.（其父 Lamar Williams Sr. 是 Allman Brothers Band 前貝斯手）在 Burbridge 的地下室即興了十多年，終於在冰島北海岸的 Flóki Studios 正式錄製。製作人是 Soulive 聯合創始人 Alan Evans。南方靈魂、福音和聲、即興搖滾和西非節奏編織在一起，Burbridge 的班卓琴探索是整張專輯最意外的聲部。
