The fourth album from this Stuttgart four-piece began with a single instruction — be more melodic — and everything else was handed to circumstance. Each of the five songs was tracked somewhere different: a cellar, a concert stage, an indoor balcony, a living room, the rehearsal space, and finally the studio where their 2017 debut Medicine was made, nine years on. What makes this more than a gimmick is that the drift it produced — from drone and ambient toward shoegaze, with acoustic instruments creeping in — reads as a consequence rather than a decision. Nobody sat down and chose a genre; they chose rooms, and the rooms chose the rest. A cellar and a concert stage are separated by an order of magnitude of reverb, a living room and a soundproofed rehearsal space by an entire philosophy of isolation, and five songs is exactly enough to hear that without the conceit wearing thin. "Departure" opens, "Return, Precipice" closes, and the two titles sitting together suggest somebody worked out only afterwards that the route had closed on itself. Four men who grew up together, in a band since 2014, finally letting the building do the arranging. 五首歌，每首換一個房間錄：地窖、音樂會舞臺、室內陽臺、客廳、排練室，最後一首回到當年錄首張《Medicine》（2017）的那間錄音室——中間隔了九年。斯圖加特的四人組從小一起長大，2014 年組團，這是第四張。官方文案把創作方法寫得很坦白：唯一的計畫是「更旋律一點」，其餘交給偶然。結果不是一次風格轉向，而是一連串房間的後果：聲音從 drone 與氛圍那頭慢慢挪到 shoegaze，木頭樂器自己長了出來。〈Departure〉開場、〈Return, Precipice〉收尾，首尾兩個詞擺在一起像是有人事後才發現路線是閉合的。錄音地點變成配器，這句話講起來像玄學，但把五個空間的名字擺成一列就不玄了：地窖與音樂會舞臺之間差著幾十倍的殘響，客廳與排練室之間差著一整套隔音。

The label copy for this one opens not with a quotation about rhythm or texture but with Fred Moten, at length, on the oxymoron buried inside the phrase "black avant-garde" — the idea that each half of it has been asked to hold together by excluding the other. It is an unusual thing to print on the back of a dance record, and Darren Cunningham lets it sit there without argument. What follows is compressed: eight pieces of broken-down music, sketches zoomed in until the grain shows, dance-floor heat arriving refracted rather than direct. CASISDEAD turns up on "Live By You" wearing another mask; Rainy Miller comes down from Preston. Neither guest is from the centre of anything. Eighteen years after Hazyville, the writing closes by describing the album as a frame Cunningham hands on to whoever is next in line. Darren Cunningham 的首張《Hazyville》出在十八年前，這張叫《Radical Frame》。廠牌文案開篇不談音樂，先整段引 Fred Moten 論「黑人前衛」的那個悖論——一張 Ninja Tune 的舞曲唱片，拿學術命題當引子，這個姿態本身就值得停一下。八首歌的篇幅很省：碎掉的節奏片段、被放大到失真的小素描、折射過的舞池熱度。CASISDEAD 戴著面具在〈Live By You〉上來了一趟，Rainy Miller 從 Preston 來了一趟，兩位都不住在倫敦的中心。文案末段寫得很坦白：這個框是交給下一個人的。

Five years went into other people's images — an Oscar-nominated score, then a Marvel assignment — and the record that comes out the other side ends on a track called "No God Like A King." A band that spent half a decade writing oracles for the screen returns home and dismantles the throne first. "Endlessly," the advance single, is the least circuitous thing here: the rhythm simply goes, which after all that scoring reads as a decision rather than a default. City Slang, an old-school European independent, is an odd and rather touching home for a group Hollywood spent five years borrowing. 《媽的多重宇宙》的配樂替他們拿下奧斯卡與 BAFTA 提名，接著又是漫威《Thunderbolts*》。五年就這樣過去，自己的錄音室專輯一張沒出。回來的第一首〈Endlessly〉是全碟最不繞的一支，節奏直給，像是先把門推開。末曲叫〈No God Like A King〉——替銀幕寫了五年神諭的樂隊，回自己家第一件事是把王位拆掉。

Frankie Rose hired Elastica's drummer, Justin Welch, and the difference lands in the first bar: a dream pop record with hard edges knocked into it. Rose wrote these songs after touring behind The Jesus and Mary Chain and Swervedriver, and the subject is grief, specifically the way grief bends the senses out of true. Calling it her goth record undersells how structural the goth is here rather than cosmetic — the drummer keeps insisting on the beat while everything above him smears. "Rainman" and the title track push saxophone through cold synthesiser light, which is the least characteristic and most interesting gesture she has made in some time. The vinyl comes in green core clear, and for once the colour matches the contents. 她請了 Elastica 的鼓手 Justin Welch 坐進來，於是這張 dream pop 被打出了硬邊。碟是跟 The Jesus and Mary Chain、Swervedriver 巡演回來之後寫的，題目是哀悼怎樣把感官擰變形。〈Rainman〉與同名曲用薩克斯和合成器鋪夜色，薩克斯擠進 coldwave 的冷色，是這張最不像她的一處。黑膠做了綠芯透明版。

Ten songs, ninety seconds apiece. Chris Teti produced, and the trick is how much gets in at that length: free jazz debris, dub space, ambient electronics, all of it arranged so there is still room to dance. The Connecticut trio name a song after Emma Peel, which tells you where they keep their sixties. 十首歌，平均一首九十秒。製作人 Chris Teti 把自由爵士、氛圍電子、dub、具象音樂全塞進這個長度，還留了讓人跳舞的空隙。康乃狄克的三人組，取曲名的品味停在六十年代——〈Emma Peel〉來自那部英國影集裡的 Mod 女主角。聽完會有一種被人推著走完一條街的感覺。

Five tracks, and the band are refreshingly plain about their coordinates: Can's iterative pulse, the Japanese psych of the PSF catalogue, the deliberate clumsiness of Crazy Horse, electric-period Miles somewhere behind it all. The Manchester trio have been welding those things together for years, but the sequence here does the arguing — "Damn Your Eyes" through "Severance," which cuts off mid-thought, to "Deathless," which refuses to leave. Instrumental rock about collective dread usually collapses into weather. This one keeps its nerve, partly because five tracks is not enough time to start pontificating. 整張碟只有五首。曼徹斯特三人組自己開出的坐標很誠實：Can 的重複律動、PSF Records 那一路日本迷幻、Crazy Horse 的笨拙直白，再加上電氣時期的 Miles。曲名排成一條情緒線，從〈Damn Your Eyes〉一路走到〈Deathless〉；中間〈Severance〉斷得乾脆，收尾那首則拖著不肯走。器樂噪音搖滾一講「時代」通常會變成天氣預報，這張沒有，因為五首曲子不夠他們說教。

Stellar Frequencies, the Lyon label, has described itself for six years in four words: reverb and distortion since 2020. The CD edition runs to a hundred and fifty crystal boxes with a booklet, shipping a week after the download. The sixth song is called "Who am they, who are I," pronouns scrambled past repair, and read against the album title it becomes one continuous sentence about not qualifying. Musically it is slowcore patience with shoegaze density on top; "Reborn" clocks 3:57, the closer 5:33, and the gap between those two numbers is most of the record's breathing. 里昂的 Stellar Frequencies 成立六年，自我介紹只有一句：reverb and distortion。這張 CD 只壓一百五十張水晶盒，附冊子，九月二十五號才出貨。八首歌裡最值得提的是第六首的曲名——〈Who am they, who are I〉，人稱代詞全部擰錯，跟專輯標題連起來剛好是同一句話。〈Reborn〉三分五十七秒，末曲五分三十三秒，長度落差就是全碟的呼吸。

Deutsche Grammophon signed him at sixteen and let him write his own liner notes, which is either confidence or a very good press strategy. The programme is arranged as a local history of Weimar, where he was born: Bach's Italian Concerto, the third of Liszt's Consolations, his own arrangements of Czerny's The Art of Finger Dexterity and the Largo from a Vivaldi flautino concerto, plus three of his own pieces in first recordings. Putting Czerny — the composer every pianist is taught to survive rather than love — on a debut is the loudest thing on the disc. 【補記｜9/11 落地】DG 簽下他的時候，人十六歲。內頁文字是他自己寫的。曲目編得比年紀老練：巴赫的《義大利協奏曲》、李斯特《慰藉》第三首、自己改編的 Czerny《手指靈巧的藝術》與韋瓦第 Flautino 協奏曲的 Largo，再加三首本人作品的世界首錄。敢把 Czerny 的練習曲當正經曲目放進首張唱片，這個選擇比任何宣傳詞都說明問題。整張碟是寫給出生地威瑪的。
