A debut album filed, by its own title, under greatest hits — the joke would collapse under a lesser record, and this one carries it for thirteen songs. Sailor Honeymoon are an all-women punk band in Seoul who spent three years turning loose writing experiments into something the local underground now points to. Abi Raymaker, who sings and drums, has explained the premise plainly enough: cultural products exported from Korea are expected to look perfect, sound perfect, and stay carefully managed, and the band wanted to make something with a person in it. So the record is built to be embarrassing on purpose and funny about it, which is harder than either alone. "Extinction" drops the humour and writes about the pressure of living there. Luke Smith produced, Claudius Mittendorfer mixed, and the mastering was split — Matt Colton took "Armchair," Katie Tavini everything else. Physically it exists as a cassette and nothing more. 出道專輯取名叫《最爛精選》，這個玩笑撐得住整張唱片的重量。首爾的全女子龐克團，三年間從一批鬆散的創作實驗長成當地地下場景拿得出手的名字。主唱兼鼓手 Abi Raymaker 講過一段話，大意是：從韓國輸出到國際的文化產品都被要求看起來完美、聽起來完美、控制得很小心，她們想做的是帶點人味的東西。十三首歌搭起一個另類世界，難堪的處境一律用幽默接住，〈Extinction〉則直接寫韓國的生活壓力。製作 Luke Smith，混音 Claudius Mittendorfer，母帶分兩人做——〈Armchair〉交給 Matt Colton，其餘由 Katie Tavini 收尾。實體目前只有卡帶。今日 Pick。

Seventeen years into a career spent alone with a laptop, playing every instrument himself, May closed the laptop and started sending voice memos to friends instead. The friends came to Honeymoon Suite, the Los Angeles room he co-owns with Paul Cherry, who produced. Nobody rehearsed and nobody planned; whatever happened on a given afternoon became the record, which is the sort of method that produces either a shambles or a very light touch. This is the light touch. Drew Vandenberg mixed, Greg Obis mastered, Daniel Topete shot the sleeve. Carpark pressed it on red and olive green, one of the two limited to a hundred. 出道十七年，第六張。過去他習慣一個人抱著筆電把所有樂器包辦掉，這回改成給朋友發語音備忘錄。錄音室是他和本作製作人 Paul Cherry 合夥開的 Honeymoon Suite，樂手朋友輪番進來，不排練也不計劃，他自己的說法是那天發生什麼就成為唱片。混音 Drew Vandenberg，母帶 Greg Obis，封面攝影 Daniel Topete。黑膠出了紅膠和橄欖綠兩款，其中一款只壓一百張。

Four years of silence from the Kobe trio, and what breaks it is six songs: "Simmer Summer," "Let It Go," "Hers," "誰かが傷を負うその瞬間を," the title track, and "幽霊." Japanese outlets are calling it a sixth album; Apple and Spotify have it shelved as an EP, and neither side seems inclined to concede. Yusuke Shinma recorded and mixed at Studio Reimei; Tsubasa Yamazaki, who mastered No New World, returned for this one. The artwork, as on every previous sleeve, comes from the manga artist Ai Kozaki. What is genuinely startling is the itinerary posted on the eleventh: forty-seven shows across forty-six cities in twenty-six countries, opening in Tokyo on the sixth of September, reaching Hong Kong and Taipei in November, and running through to a European leg in the autumn of 2027. Four years still, then this. 神戶三人組，距二〇二二年《Awakening:Sleeping》整整四年，新作只有六首：Simmer Summer／Let It Go／Hers／誰かが傷を負うその瞬間を／祝おう／幽霊。日本媒體算它第六張專輯，Apple 和 Spotify 卻掛成 EP，兩邊各說各話。錄音混音是新間裕介，母帶交回操刀過《No New World》的山崎翼；視覺一如往例由漫畫家こざき亜衣包辦。真正誇張的是巡演表：八月十一日官網公佈二十六國四十六城四十七場，九月六日東京 FEVER 開跑，十一月六日香港 MOM、十一月二十日臺北 THE WALL，一路排到二〇二七年秋天的歐洲段。四年沒動，一動就是這個規模。

The centrepiece is Mustonen's Taivaanvalot, Finnish for the lights of the sky, which its composer describes as a symphony for tenor, cello and piano. Bostridge premiered the chamber version in 2016; this is its first recording, and in 2020 Mustonen expanded the same material into his Third Symphony, so the disc catches the piece in an earlier and smaller life. The text comes from the Kalevala. Altstaedt, in the notes, likens the closeness to folk material here to the closeness Kodály went looking for and found, which explains the company the work keeps: the Sonatina and the Op. 4 cello sonata sit alongside it across nine tracks and roughly sixty-seven minutes. Mustonen studied with Rautavaara, and once you have that lineage in view the Finnish argument of the record closes neatly. 碟心是 Mustonen 的《Taivaanvalot》，芬蘭語的天光。作曲家自己形容它是給男高音、大提琴與鋼琴的一首交響曲——三個人的交響曲，Bostridge 二〇一六年首演這個室內版，本碟才是第一次錄音，而二〇二〇年他才把同一份材料擴寫成自己的第三號交響曲。文本取自《卡勒瓦拉》片段。Altstaedt 在說明裡把這種與民間素材的親近類比成 Kodály 當年追尋並找到的那一種，同碟因此配了 Kodály 的 Sonatina 與 Op. 4 大提琴奏鳴曲，九軌約六十七分鐘。Mustonen 是 Rautavaara 的學生，這層師承擺進來，芬蘭那條線就完整了。Lockenhaus 音樂節系列第五張。

A first album from a Kyoto four-piece who met in a rock society at Ritsumeikan and formed in 2024. Everything — tracking, mixing, mastering — was done at music studio SIMPO by one person, Daisuke Koizumi, which is rare enough now to be worth stating. The critic Shino Okamura first heard the tapes by walking into that studio on the seventeenth of July, the day of the Gion Matsuri, with the festival going on outside. The video for "Glare" was directed by Masachika Kawata, the band's own guitarist, and stars the singer. Eleven songs. The title means roughly the view left behind once the event has passed. 京都四人組的第一張，十一首。四個人從立命館大學的搖滾社團出來，二〇二四年成團：田淵琴之助（主唱吉他，岡山人）、川田マサチカ（吉他，同志社畢）、ツムギ（貝斯，立命館三年級）、マキノ（鼓，京大）。錄音、混音、母帶全在京都的 music studio SIMPO 完成，一個人做完，小泉大輔。〈グレア〉的 MV 導演是團內吉他手川田マサチカ本人，鏡頭前站的是主唱。專輯名的意思他們解釋過：事情過去之後留下的那片景色。發片巡演八月二十五日大阪開場，九月二十日下北澤 THREE 收尾。

The title is lifted from Donne's 1611 elegy An Anatomy of the World, which tells you the register before a note plays. Fifteen years in, on their own imprint, the Brooklyn duo's fifth. Thomas Mullarney III has said most of it was written after a long partnership ended. Twelve tracks. The vinyl comes in Ember, Ash and Phoenix, two hundred of each. 專輯名摘自 John Donne 一六一一年那首輓歌《An Anatomy of the World》。布魯克林雙人組的第五張，成軍十五年，這次發在自家廠牌。Mullarney 說大半的歌寫於他一段長期伴侶關係結束之後。十二首。黑膠三色 Ember／Ash／Phoenix，各壓兩百張。

One of these songs began as a writing exercise: pick a specific time and place and put it down. Samuels chose high school, and what came out was "Blue Vs. Pinkerton," in which a boy she liked asks which Weezer album she is loyal to and she pretends to know the answer. (Stereogum reports she is Blue.) The record spans nineteen years — "Circles" dates from 2007, written at twenty in New York on a diet of Elliott Smith — and it very nearly stayed in a drawer until a party at Jonathan Rado's house restarted it. Rado produced to tape at Dreamstar II; when he left to make a Miley Cyrus album, Patrick Damphier finished the job at New Monkey, the studio Elliott Smith helped build, where Samuels re-cut every vocal. Courtney Marie Andrews, Madison Cunningham and Erin Rae appear. It closes on thirty-two seconds of birdsong. 十一首，接續二〇二三年的《Bystander》。Jonathan Rado 在 Dreamstar II 製作錄音，全程錄到磁帶，多數曲子從她彈吉他或鋼琴、Rado 打鼓的最簡配置起步，早期人聲不少是同期實錄。Rado 中途去做 Miley Cyrus 的專輯，她轉頭找 Patrick Damphier 收尾——收尾的地點是 New Monkey，Elliott Smith 參與創建的那間錄音室，她在那裡把全部人聲重錄了一遍。選曲跨十九年：〈Circles〉寫於二〇〇七年，她二十歲、住在紐約、成天聽 Elliott Smith。〈Blue Vs. Pinkerton〉來自一個「寫下某個特定時空」的命題，她挑了高中，一個她喜歡的男生問她站哪一張，她假裝自己聽得懂。客串有 Courtney Marie Andrews、Madison Cunningham、Erin Rae。末曲只有三十二秒，一段無詞鳥鳴。黑膠是酒紅色。

A coastline that does not exist, populated by synth birds, synth whales, synth waves and synth wind — that is the whole premise of the Tokyo trio's second album, ten tracks that leave the old downtown quarter, retreat inward, and put back out to sea along the Kuroshio. The band name comes from a foundational rhythm in Cuban folk music; the three of them grew up together and reconvened during the pandemic. Their debut on Time Capsule got described as picking up the thread of Hosono's tropical seventies, which is a lot to hang on a record, and this one mostly earns it. Digital only. 東京三人組的第二張，十首。整張的概念是一片不存在的海岸：合成的鳥、合成的鯨、合成的浪、合成的風在裡面響。曲目一路從〈アダンの海辺〉走到〈Caminho de Kuroshio〉再到〈Aloha Retreat〉，同名曲六分十四秒是最長的一首，另外收了一版用現場錄音重做的〈ハイヤー Return〉。團名取自古巴民俗樂的基本節奏；三個人是發小，疫情期間重新湊在一起。首張《tradition》由 Time Capsule 發行時，被形容成接上了細野晴臣七〇年代熱帶迷幻那條線。
