John Carpenter dreamed of catacombs under a cathedral, then scored the dream. 散場搬器材的時候，他朝薩克斯手喊了一句：要不要組個團？

Tenniscoats did something on Friday no one seems to have noticed: they released two entirely different albums simultaneously, a first in a nearly thirty-year career. The one to hear is Minat Soul, the fourth chapter in their collaboration with the Swedish electro-acoustic trio Tape, a partnership that has produced exactly three albums since 2007 and now, a decade after the last, a fourth. It was recorded in July 2022 in a countryside church in Hellesjö, six players in one room, then set aside for nearly four years before Joe Talia's mixing finished it this spring. Nothing about the waiting is audible as hesitation; the eleven songs have the unhurried quality of music that knew it would be finished eventually. NPR's Viking's Choice called it "small music that fills a quiet room," which is accurate if you add that the room in question is a church, and you can hear it. Pick of the day. さや和植野隆司這對東京夫妻檔，和瑞典電聲三人組 Tape 的合作已經走到第二十年：2007 年《Tan-Tan Therapy》、2012 年《Papa's Ear》、2016 年《Music Exists Disc3》，然後就是漫長的空白。第四章《Minat Soul》2022 年 7 月在瑞典鄉下 Hellesjö 的一座教堂裡錄完，六個人同場，之後擱置近四年，今年春天才由 Joe Talia 補完混音和母帶。十一首歌，全是那種放輕了力氣唱的小歌，教堂的空間感還留在錄音裡。更妙的是發行方式：8/7 當天同步發了另一張《ぜんぶゆめ (revision)》，兩張完全不同的專輯同日上架，樂隊史上頭一回。慢工出的細活，值得排今日第一。

Six years after the EP that named the group, the quartet of Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, Terrace Martin, and 9th Wonder finally sits down to a full meal, and the guest ends up doing most of the talking: Phoelix sings on seven of the nine tracks, making him a fifth member in everything but billing. The poet J. Ivy opens the record on "Stop Being Late," a title that reads like an in-joke about the six-year wait. Twenty-five minutes total, which for this much combined firepower is either modesty or good manners. Kamasi Washington、Robert Glasper、Terrace Martin、9th Wonder，四個名字任何一個都能撐起一場音樂節，湊在一起卻只在 2020 年留下一張 EP。六年後的第一張正式全長，名字取得直白：《Whatchu Bringing?》，你帶什麼菜來。九軌二十五分鐘，Phoelix 唱了其中七首，戲份多到該印在封面上。開場曲〈Stop Being Late〉找了詩人 J. Ivy 開嗓。菜不多，但都是家常手藝。

The order of operations in the Carpenter workshop has quietly inverted over the past decade: first the scores stopped needing his films, now they have stopped needing anyone's. Cathedral began as a dream Carpenter had in 2024, an elevator descending toward something waiting in the catacombs beneath an abandoned cathedral. Rather than pitch it as a picture, he wrote it as his first graphic novel, published last week with his wife Sandy King, and then scored the book chapter by chapter with his son Cody and godson Daniel Davies, fourteen tracks in forty-five minutes. The division of labor is audible: Davies's guitars carry "Primeval" and "Lord of the Underground," while the Carpenters' synthesizers take over for "Desolation in the Underworld," all of it heavier than anything in the trio's Lost Themes series. Carpenter calls it, with evident satisfaction, "kind of our first heavy metal album." He is 78, and he has arrived at a form where the movie was always optional. The deluxe LP adds a live seven-inch from the Belasco Theater. 起點是 2024 年的一個夢：電梯往下開，廢棄教堂的地下墓穴裡有什麼東西在等。78 歲的 Carpenter 這回沒把夢拍成電影，改寫成他人生第一本圖像小說（與妻子 Sandy King 合作，8/4 剛出版），然後帶著兒子 Cody 和教子 Daniel Davies 給書配了一張逐章對應的專輯，十四軌四十五分鐘。Davies 的吉他主導〈Primeval〉和〈Lord of the Underground〉，父子倆的合成器接管〈Desolation in the Underworld〉。他自己說這差不多是「我們第一張重金屬專輯」。配樂先於電影存在，這次乾脆連電影都省了。

Two Philadelphia shoegaze bands folded into one trio: Doug Dulgarian of They Are Gutting a Body of Water plus two-thirds of Hooky, on the scene's house label Julia's War. The liner notes are a single monologue about watching a cousin play SSX Tricky in 2007, and the record sounds like that afternoon: glitchy, warm, slightly out of focus. Ten tracks. 費城 shoegaze 廠牌 Julia's War 的內部合流：They Are Gutting a Body of Water 的 Doug Dulgarian，加上 Hooky 的兩位成員，摺成一個三人組。十首歌，文案是一整段獨白，講 2007 年看錶親打滑板遊戲 SSX Tricky 的下午。整張的 glitch 質地和滑板錄像帶美學都從那個客廳來。

Bandcamp's Album of the Day desk compared this Oakland duo's songwriting to the booby traps in Home Alone, which is the rare simile that tells you exactly what the music does: every hook is rigged. The title track runs a synthesizer in the same key as Kraftwerk's "Autobahn" beneath a chorus that consists of the word "love" four times. Hannah Skelton and Chris Niles work the Tom Tom Club and ESG lineage with defiantly cheap eighties keyboard presets. 奧克蘭雙人組，主唱 Hannah Skelton 加貝斯手 Chris Niles。標題曲的合成器和 Kraftwerk〈Autobahn〉同一個調，上面掛一句四連「love love love love」的副歌；便宜的八〇年代鍵盤音色故意用到底，血統直通 Tom Tom Club 和 ESG。Bandcamp 把它選了本週 Album of the Day，樂評形容他們寫歌像《小鬼當家》裡布機關。先聽再說。

Volume four of Manfred Cordes's survey of the Hanseatic cities reaches Hamburg's seventeenth-century golden age, and includes a two-minute civic fanfare titled, without irony, "Vivat Hamburgum." Port-city self-regard is a tradition older than the stock exchange. The scoring runs up to sixteen voice parts, and the recording was made not in Hamburg but in Gothenburg's Örgryte New Church, for the sound of one instrument: the largest meantone organ in the world, some four thousand pipes built to Arp Schnitger's designs and completed in 2000. Seventy-four minutes of Praetorius, Weckmann, and Selle. Not yet on Apple Music; Spotify has it. Cordes 的漢薩城市系列走到第四卷，輪到 17 世紀的漢堡：Praetorius 父子、Weckmann、Selle，最大編制堆到十六個聲部。錄音地點卻不在漢堡，整團跑去瑞典哥德堡的 Örgryte 新教堂，只為借用那臺按 Arp Schnitger 四百年前圖紙建造、約四千根管的世界最大中庸律管風琴。曲目裡藏著一首兩分鐘的市政頌號，曲名就叫〈Vivat Hamburgum〉，漢堡萬歲。港口城市的自我感覺，四百年前就很好。

The Philharmonia's principal clarinet leads a program that enacts its own title. Anna Clyne's Strange Loops, written after Hofstadter's I Am a Strange Loop and premiered by livestream in 2021, sits beside Ruth Gipps's wartime Rhapsody of 1942 and Weber's quintet of 1815: a recursion running backward two centuries, ending where the clarinet repertoire more or less begins. Philharmonia 首席單簧管領銜。標題作是 Anna Clyne 讀 Hofstadter《I Am a Strange Loop》寫出的委約，2021 年封鎖期間以線上直播首演；同碟配 Ruth Gipps 1942 年的《Rhapsody》和 Weber 1815 年的單簧管五重奏。從遞歸怪圈一路退回貝多芬年代，曲目單自己就繞成一個圈。

The founding of Bon Odori was efficient: at the end of a Portland show, during load-out, the ambient guitarist Randall Taylor (Amulets) shouted an invitation across the room at saxophonist Patrick Shiroishi. It was Valentine's Day. Their debut was assembled remotely over a few weeks, Los Angeles trading files with Portland, and the credits are deliberately all-Asian down to the guests (otay:onii, Courtney Swain, Pauline Lay, Dylan Fujioka), the mixer, and the label. The name comes from the Japanese ancestral dance. On "As I Imagine Them," heavy chord changes press down on a muffled beat, and the whole record breathes in that uneven way, sax physicality against tape-loop haze. One newsletter placed it between múm and Boris, which should not work as a coordinate system and somehow does. 組隊的方式夠直接：波特蘭一場演出散場，Amulets 的 Randall Taylor 一邊搬器材一邊朝薩克斯手 Patrick Shiroishi 喊出邀請，那天是情人節。首專以 LA 和波特蘭遠程互傳素材數週做成，八軌，隊名取自日本盂蘭盆舞。班底刻意全亞裔，從客席、混音師到廠牌為止。官方描述裡〈As I Imagine Them〉那首，厚重的和聲進行底下壓著一記悶掉的節拍，整張都在這種不勻的呼吸裡走。
