Standing on the Corner — Standing On The Corner "II"

Genre類型: Experimental · Avant-Jazz · Collage
Label廠牌: XL Recordings
Format介質: Vinyl／Streaming
Released發行: 2026-09-11

The guest list is written into the song titles here, which is either a credit policy or a track listing, depending on how you read it. Styles P and Ladybug Mecca take one. Danny Brown takes another. Sonia Sanchez and Solange share a title, simply called "Sonia," and the pairing tells you more about the record's sense of lineage than any press release could. Fifteen tracks, out on XL. What complicates the story is that a version of this album already existed: the band quietly put one up on YouTube some months back, no announcement, no stores, and then replaced the guests and released it properly. The lead single, "Mr. Postman, wait!," runs three and a half minutes and credits production to go! demarcus, with background vocals from two names that return no other results. 這張碟有過兩輩子。樂團先把一個版本悄悄傳上 YouTube 擺著，沒發通稿，也沒進商店；後來把客座名單整個換過，才交給 XL 正式發行。十五首裡，客人的名字直接長在曲名上：Styles P 與 Ladybug Mecca 佔一首，Danny Brown 佔一首，Sonia Sanchez 與 Solange 並排掛在〈Sonia〉。先行單曲〈Mr. Postman, wait!〉三分半，官方描述署的製作人是 go! demarcus，背景人聲欄裡是兩個查不到別的作品的名字。這種做法本身比任何宣傳語都說明瞭他們想被怎麼聽。

オレンジスパイニクラブ — 好きにしろ

Genre類型: J-Rock · J-Indie
Label廠牌: Warner Music Japan
Format介質: Hi-Res
Released發行: 2026-09-16

十二曲，三十七分半。除了〈口〉，還有一首劇集主題曲〈blur〉，和一首叫〈無くしたピックを重ねて月に行こう〉——把弄丟的撥片疊起來去月亮。一支樂團寫了十五年才出到第三張全長，通常意味著他們一直在演出而不在錄音室；這張聽起來也確實像是先在現場磨過幾百遍，再進棚收音的。

さよならポニーテール — Magical Box

Genre類型: Dream Pop · J-Indie
Label廠牌: 音楽と魔法
Format介質: Streaming
Released發行: 2026-09-16

第十二張了。團內維持五位主唱、五位詞曲作者的編制，成員從來不露臉。全碟十一曲三十三分鐘，第四軌〈戀よりチョコレート〉只有五十五秒，曲名比歌長。系列作〈こどもたちのための星佔い〉做到了第三部。封面是插畫家中森煙新畫的。

Lise Davidsen — Verdi

Genre類型: Opera Aria · Vocal
Label廠牌: Decca Classics
Format介質: CD／Streaming
Released發行: 2026-09-11

The release date sits five days ahead of her Lady Macbeth at the Met, which opens the house's season on September 22, and Decca will not have arrived at that by accident. Fifteen tracks drawn from five operas: Macbeth, Un ballo in maschera, La forza del destino, Don Carlo, Aida. It is her first all-Verdi record, and it arrives late by design. For years she sang only Emilia, the secondary role in Otello, and waited until Elisabetta in London in 2023 before taking on a leading Verdi part at all. With the London Philharmonic under Edward Gardner. 她躲威爾第躲了很久。早年只唱過《奧泰羅》裡的配角 Emilia，一直等到 2023 年倫敦那次的 Elisabetta，才接下第一個主要角色。這是她第一張全威爾第，十五軌取自五部歌劇：《馬克白》《假面舞會》《命運之力》《唐‧卡洛》《阿依達》。發行日卡在她 9 月 22 日於大都會以馬克白夫人揭幕新樂季的前五天，唱片公司顯然算過這個帳。與 London Philharmonic Orchestra、Edward Gardner 合作。

Locust — Spectral+

Genre類型: Ambient · IDM · Dream Pop
Label廠牌: TODO Records
Format介質: Vinyl／Streaming
Released發行: 2026-09-11

Mark Van Hoen's old alias, back for ten tracks, every one of them a collaboration with the partner named in the title. The sequencing of the three advance singles is worth following: "White Light" came first and runs almost entirely on strings, with the voice arriving very late; "Soul Sky" put Griff Spex out front; "Long Distance Lover" saved Neil Halstead of Slowdive, whose guitar hangs a few sustained notes above the synths like it wandered in from the wrong record. Six collaborators in all — Spex, Olive Kimoto, Natasha Morrow, Nick Holton, Natalie Faucauld, Omotola. Mark Van Hoen 的舊名字。十軌全部是合作曲，對方的名字都寫在曲名裡：Griff Spex、Olive Kimoto、Natasha Morrow、Nick Holton、Natalie Faucauld、Omotola。〈Long Distance Lover〉的吉他由 Slowdive 的 Neil Halstead 彈，幾下延音吊在合成器上方，像從別人的碟裡走錯門進來。先行單曲三支，最早出的〈White Light〉整首靠弦樂鋪底，人聲很晚才到。

Bloc Party — Anatomy Of A Brief Romance

Genre類型: Indie Rock · Post-Punk
Label廠牌: cOnTAGIOUS Ltd
Format介質: Vinyl／CD／Streaming
Released發行: 2026-09-11

Four years on from Alpha Games, fourteen tracks. The standard edition went up on September 11 and a digital deluxe followed on the 14th, which is three days, and says something about how albums are now shipped. The copyright line reads cOnTAGIOUS Ltd, the band's own company, distributed by Virgin. 距《Alpha Games》四年，十四軌。標準版 9 月 11 日上線，9 月 14 日就補了一版 Digital Deluxe。版權行寫的是樂團自己的公司 cOnTAGIOUS Ltd，由 Virgin Music Group 代發。

Grand Band — Grand Band Live

Genre類型: Contemporary Classical · Piano Ensemble
Label廠牌: Cantaloupe Music
Format介質: CD／Streaming
Released發行: 2026-08-21

Six grand pianos on one stage, recorded at the Alexander Kasser Theater in Montclair, New Jersey, on February 14, 2020 — a date that iTunes has folded into the album's full title, and which sits six and a half years before the release. Whatever kept it on the shelf, the delay is now part of how it reads. Four composers: Kate Moore's "Sensitive Spot," Julia Wolfe's "my lips from speaking," a commission from Missy Mazzoli called "Three Fragile Systems," and Julius Eastman's "Gay Guerrilla" to close. The Wolfe takes its motif from the piano figure that opens Aretha Franklin's "Think," and six instruments pass it around until the phrase comes apart and reassembles. When all six press down together the individual timbres stop mattering and what is left is wood and wire in bulk. I want to hear the Eastman again before saying anything about it. 六臺三角鋼琴同臺。這場錄於 2020 年 2 月 14 日，紐澤西 Montclair 的 Alexander Kasser Theater，壓了六年半才拿出來；iTunes 索性把錄音地點與日期寫進了專輯全名。四位作曲家四首曲子：Kate Moore〈Sensitive Spot〉、Julia Wolfe〈my lips from speaking〉、樂團委約 Missy Mazzoli 寫的〈Three Fragile Systems〉，收尾是 Julius Eastman〈Gay Guerrilla〉。Wolfe 那首的動機是從 Aretha Franklin〈Think〉開頭那段鋼琴 riff 摳下來的，六臺琴輪流把它拆成碎片再拼回去。六臺琴一起壓下去的時候，個別音色已經沒有意義，只剩木頭與鋼線的總和。

Cobrafuma — Droga Total

Genre類型: Noise Rock · Punk
Label廠牌: Lovers & Lollypops
Format介質: Vinyl／Streaming
Released發行: 2026-08-21

A four-piece from Porto, seven tracks, all titles in Portuguese, opening with "Trabalho" (work) and closing on "Humildade" (humility). Mastering went to Jaime Gomez Arellano at Orgone Studios, who normally handles extreme metal, and the result is heavier and considerably cleaner than most noise rock gets. Recorded and mixed by the band with Rafael Silver at Stop. Cover art by Abraham Diaz. 波爾圖四人編制，七軌曲名全葡語，從〈Trabalho〉（工作）開始，到〈Humildade〉（謙卑）結束。母帶交給 Jaime Gomez Arellano 在 Orgone Studios 做——那是一個平常替極端金屬樂團做母帶的人，這批錄音因此比一般噪音搖滾更重、更乾淨。錄混由樂團與 Rafael Silver 在 Stop 完成。
