01 Pick of the Day 今日精選

Carl Stone — Arthur Fischl Conducts the Music of Carl Stone

Genre類型: Experimental Electronic · Chamber Arrangement
Label廠牌: Unseen Worlds
Format介質: Streaming
Released發行: 2026-09-11

The eight titles are the familiar ones: Au Jus, Auburn, Al-Noor, Wall Me Do, Han Yan, Fujiken, Mikawa, Figli. Each now carries the suffix "(Arr. Fischl)," which is the whole joke and also the whole method. Unseen Worlds describes the process as prompting, revision and back-and-forth guidance, which reads like a euphemism for argument and probably was one. Carl Stone 的音樂一直是別人的音樂做成的：一段普契尼間奏悄悄浮上來，吞掉一句流行歌的背景；一段穆索斯基的主題被傳來傳去，回來時已經穿著陌生人的外套。這次他把方向掉了個頭，把八首自己的舊作交給編曲家 Arthur Fischl，讓對方重寫成室內樂。廠牌的說法是兩人來回下指令、改稿磨出來的成果。

Andy Sheppard / Rita Marcotulli / Michel Benita — Salt Catchers

Genre類型: Chamber Jazz
Label廠牌: ECM Records
Format介質: CD · Streaming
Released發行: 2026-09-11

Sheppard has given two reasons for the absence of a drummer, and the first one is that Seb Rochford went off to play with Patti Smith. The second, offered more quietly, is that his years in Carla Bley and Steve Swallow's trio taught him what a saxophone can do when nothing is counting underneath it. Both reasons are probably true and the second one is audible. 專輯名來自葡萄牙 Aveiro 的鹽田。Sheppard 在當地一間小博物館看到鹽工把鹽撈上岸的老照片，整張碟就從那張照片長出來。〈Salgado〉這個字既是「鹹」，也向攝影家 Sebastião Salgado 點頭。

Anna Fedorova — Brahms: Intermezzi, Op. 117 – Klavierstücke, Opp. 118 & 119

Genre類型: Late Romantic Piano · Classical
Label廠牌: Channel Classics
Format介質: CD · Streaming
Released發行: 2026-09-11

Thirteen pieces, Opp. 117, 118 and 119 entire, and not one filler track. That sounds like a small thing until you count how many late-Brahms recitals pad themselves out with a rhapsody from thirty years earlier. 十三首，Op.117、Op.118、Op.119 全收，一首補白都沒塞。這件事說起來小，但晚期布拉姆斯的獨奏碟多半要湊一首三十年前的狂想曲進來撐場面。

Gli Angeli Genève & Stephan MacLeod — Pierre de Manchicourt: Missa Veni Sancte Spiritus

Genre類型: Renaissance Polyphony · Classical
Label廠牌: Aparté
Format介質: CD · Streaming
Released發行: 2026-09-11

The five movements of the Mass have been prised apart and the gaps filled not only with motets but with French secular chansons, which produces a running order no liturgy would tolerate. After the Kyrie: a song about being wrecked by a beautiful woman. After the Credo, a complaint that being short of money is a pain like no other. Whether this is scholarship or mischief hardly matters at sixty-eight minutes; it keeps the ear from settling. 沒有人知道這首彌撒寫於哪一年。它是在 Montserrat 的一本合唱譜冊裡被翻出來的，字跡疑為作曲家本人。Manchicourt 約 1510 年生於法國北部 Béthune，歷任 Tours 與 Tournai 主教座堂職務，晚年當上西班牙腓力二世的法蘭德斯禮拜堂樂長。一份在加泰隆尼亞修道院裡失散的手稿，離他最後落腳的地方隔著半個歐洲。

The Tubs — Hard Life

Genre類型: Jangle Pop · Indie Rock
Label廠牌: Merge Records
Format介質: Vinyl · CD · Streaming
Released發行: 2026-09-11

Twelve songs, eleven of them written by the band, and then "Do Yourself a Favor," which belongs to Jesse Johnson and Pepé Willie. A London group whose entire reputation rests on Celtic jangle reaching for Minneapolis funk is the kind of move that either embarrasses everyone or quietly explains what the guitars were doing all along. 首次美國巡演途中簽進 Merge。主唱 Owen Williams 當時對《紐約客》說，他們此行是來「統一這個國家」的。第三張專輯，聽得出來的改變是 Chris Haigh 的小提琴，把兩把吉他撐不滿的中段填了起來。全碟由 Sam 與 Rachel 在他們自己的錄音室一手錄音、混音兼母帶。

Navi to Sero — EXPO

Genre類型: Experimental J-Pop · New Wave
Label廠牌: Self-released
Format介質: Streaming
Released發行: 2026-09-12

The Bandcamp page for this one does not describe the music. It lists what the album is about, in a column, and the column includes the World Expo, pacifism, wheat flour, conspiracy theory, enka, udon, somen, Prince, climate change, satellites, visual hypersensitivity, the feminist Hiratsuka Raichō, and oden. The last track is called "ODEN." Eleven songs, self-released, made in Wakayama by a project that treats its cartoon characters as part of the record. 這張碟的 Bandcamp 頁面不介紹音樂，它列了一張主題詞表：萬博、反戰、小麥粉、陰謀論、演歌、烏龍麵、素麵、酷兒、Prince、氣候變遷、人工衛星、視覺過敏、平塚らいてう。最後幾個詞是慈しみ、憐み、怒り、祈り、おでん——四個抽象名詞後面跟著關東煮。末曲就叫〈ODEN〉。

Asia Menor — Vaho

Genre類型: Post-Punk · Shoegaze
Label廠牌: Sello Fisura
Format介質: Streaming
Released發行: 2026-09-10

A four-piece from Temuco, in the Chilean south, three years on from their debut and working again with the producer and mastering engineer who made it. Eight tracks, recorded across three rooms in Santiago. The interesting decision comes at the end: "Mehuín" and "Calor," the last two, bring in Narval Orquesta — alto and tenor saxophone, cello, double bass, violin — so a post-punk record signs off with an ensemble. "Mehuín" is a small town on the coast, and the only lyric on the album not written by Jorge Scheuermann. 智利南部 Temuco 的四人組，距首作《Enola Gay》三年，製作人與母帶師都是原班人馬。八首歌，分別錄在聖地牙哥的三個地方。

Angela Autumn — Believer

Genre類型: Psych Country · Indie Folk
Label廠牌: Gar Hole Records
Format介質: Vinyl · CD · Streaming
Released發行: 2026-09-11

The credit list is the tell. Vocals, guitar, banjo, bass, drums, all her; Isaiah Beard on lap steel, piano and guitar, and producing nearly all of it. A clawhammer player from the western Pennsylvania Alleghenies has made a record that keeps wandering off into psychedelia and gothic country, and the banjo goes with it rather than anchoring anything down. credits 那一行說明瞭一切：人聲、吉他、班卓、貝斯、鼓，五樣都掛她自己；Isaiah Beard 彈 lap steel、鋼琴與吉他，順便把幾乎整張碟的製作、錄音與混音包了。
