Some time in the mid-to-late fifties, the anthropologist Gordon Day sat Abenaki men and women down in front of a microphone, and the reels went into his papers at Dartmouth, where they stayed. After Obomsawin released her first solo record in 2022, the college came to her: the recordings were on their way back to the Abenaki First Nation at Odanak in Quebec, and would she like to study them. She downloaded the digitised files and spent years with them. What she took is the interesting part. Everybody wants the ceremonial material, she has said; she wanted the fly buzzing around the room, the parts the ethnologists could not follow. The two Abenaki women's voices bookend the album in ‘Nawa’ and ‘Venez’, which are the same song twice. On the title track her great-grand relative Malian speaks and sings over a guitar ostinato, drums and saxophones, a texture she traces to the collective improvising on Mahmoud Guinia and Pharoah Sanders’s The Trance of Seven Colors. Andrew Broder, who plays turntables and electronics here, co-produced with her and the cornettist Taylor Ho Bynum. Her reason for the turntable: it is an instrument that explores time, and it gives the ancestors in the recordings some agency back. 人類學家 Gordon Day 在 1950 年代中後期錄下一批 Abenaki 語的說話與歌唱,長年留在 Dartmouth 的 Gordon Day 文獻收藏裡。Obomsawin 的個人首作《Sweet Tooth》出版之後,校方主動找上她——當時那批錄音正在歸還魁北克 Odanak 的 Abenaki First Nation——問她願不願意研究。她下載了數位檔,聽了好幾年。她對取材的標準講得毫不客氣:大家都想要儀式的、神聖的那一類,她要的是蒼蠅飛過房間的那一段,是麥克風之外那些民族誌學者聽不懂的部分。於是首尾兩首〈Nawa〉與〈Venez〉收的是 Abenaki 女性的聲音,而這兩首其實是同一首歌。同名曲把曾祖輩親屬 Malian 的檔案人聲,架在吉他固定音型、鼓組與薩克斯上面;靈感來自 guembri 大師 Mahmoud Guinia 與 Pharoah Sanders 那張《The Trance of Seven Colors》裡的集體即興。她談唱盤的理由是:那是一件探索時間的樂器,能讓錄音裡的祖輩重新有行動的餘地。碟上與她共同製作的是 Andrew Broder(他同時彈唱盤與電子)和短號手 Taylor Ho Bynum;〈O'temin〉是她第一次用圖形譜。另外值得記一筆的是她的非音樂身分:2020 年她共同創辦了 Bomazeen Land Trust 並任執行董事。這張碟關於所有權的那個主題,不是突然長出來的。

Parr lived in Minneapolis rooming houses, and the label calls what he has made out of those years a conceptual folk opera about the ordinary people in them. The only other player on it is Dave King, the drummer from The Bad Plus and Happy Apple. The title song is written as stage scenes, its plot split across about two months, but the two of them cut it in one continuous take; so it fades out in the middle, three other songs go by, and it fades back in. The illness in it, Parr says, is kind of another character. His twentieth studio album. 他在明尼阿波利斯住過那種廉租合住屋,這張碟官方的說法是一齣概念民謠歌劇,寫的是那幾年裡的中西部普通人。全碟除他本人只有一位樂手:The Bad Plus 與 Happy Apple 的鼓手 Dave King。同名曲按舞臺場景寫,劇情上分成相隔約兩個月的兩個樂章,可他與 King 是一氣連奏錄完的——解法是把它在中段淡出,插進另外三首歌,後面再淡回來。他說曲中那場病「kind of another character」,病本身算一個角色。這是他第 20 張錄音室專輯,封面由 Danny Duffy 設計。

They have known each other for more than fifteen years and only started working together recently, which is the shape of the record: files shuttled between Vienna, Wolverhampton and the Welsh countryside until a shared instrumental language turned up. No voices anywhere. The two of them also made the artwork and the visuals, and the physical edition comes with a six-page concertina insert. Stephen Wilkinson has been Warp’s most pastoral guitar-and-tape presence since 2005; Oliver Johnson comes out of the Viennese keyboard tradition. The pairing is the news. 兩人認識超過十五年,真正坐下來合作卻是這幾年的事。整張遠距離完成,檔案在維也納、Wolverhampton 與威爾斯鄉下之間來回傳。全器樂,沒有人聲,影像與美術也由兩人自己做,實體版附一本六頁手風琴折頁。Bibio 自 2005 年起就是 Warp 系譜裡最帶鄉下吉他與磁帶質地的那一位,Dorian Concept 出自維也納鍵盤與電子那一脈——這組配對本身比它的先行曲〈Lichen Trip〉更值得注意。

Thompson owns up to the pleasure of messing about at home and disappearing into the basement for hours at a time, and reckons more of his own identity has been transferred into the finished product this time. It was cut at Hobosound Studio in Weehawken, New Jersey, with Taras Prodaniuk on bass, Michael Jerome on drums, David Mansfield on guitar and fiddle, and Zara Phillips singing harmony; the first single follows a cast of people scraping a living in London. His twentieth album, and nobody has reviewed it yet, so that is as far as I will go. On Apple Music. 錄在新澤西 Weehawken 的 Hobosound Studio,班底只有四個人:Taras Prodaniuk 的貝斯、Michael Jerome 的鼓、David Mansfield 兼吉他與小提琴,Zara Phillips 和聲。他談這張怎麼成形時說的那句話比曲目表有用得多:回頭看自己寫過的那批歌,然後問哪幾首互為同類,先找出同類再成組——按親緣排,不按時間排。先行曲〈Cocaine Walking, Booze Talking〉跟著一群在倫敦討生活的角色走。被稱作他的第 20 張專輯。本張目前沒有任何一手樂評,Guardian、Uncut、Mojo 都還沒出,公告稿不算,所以這裡不替它下判斷。

Six years after YES and Neutrino arrived on the same day in 2020, this one turned up at midnight with no announcement — the old Instagram posts cleared out beforehand, a single line left standing. jan plays bass in GREAT3 and has a noise project built around an instrument he made himself; naomi records as Naomi Paris Tokyo. They met in 2012, playing separate shows in the same stretch of Shibuya, and took until 2014 to put out a 7-inch together. Single-word titles, and a broken black circle on the sleeve. 距 2020 年同日雙發的《YES》與《Neutrino》約六年之後的第一張新作,而且是零預告午夜上架:發行前把 Instagram 舊貼清空,只留一句預告。jan 的本業是 GREAT3 的貝斯手,另有一個用自製樂器做噪音的個人計畫;naomi 的個人計畫叫 Naomi Paris Tokyo。兩人 2012 年在渋谷百軒店各自單獨演出時認識,到 2014 年才以二人名義發第一張 7 吋,500 張限定。五首曲名全是單詞,封面是一個斷開的黑色圓。

Hildegard of Bingen to David Bowie, with Strozzi, Corelli, Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell in between, and the first movement of a C.P.E. Bach flute concerto rerouted through a saxophone. Two bits of sequencing are deliberate: Sidney Bechet’s ‘Petite Fleur’ runs straight into Barbara Thompson’s tribute to him, and the record closes on Hildegard’s ‘Spiritus sanctus vivificans’ after a ‘Prelude to Hildegard’ that is Gillam, Sam Becker and Leif Kaner-Lidström improvising on the same chant, credited to all three. It is also her first time as a co-producer, with Bjarte Eike of Barokksolistene and Becker, done in three days at School Farm Studios in Cambridgeshire. In 2016 she was the first saxophonist to reach the BBC Young Musician final. 曲目從 12 世紀的 Hildegard 一路排到 Bowie,中間經過 Strozzi、Corelli、Kate Bush、Joni Mitchell,還把 C.P.E. Bach 長笛協奏曲的第一樂章改給薩克斯。編排上有兩處是刻意的:Sidney Bechet 的〈Petite Fleur〉後面,緊接 Barbara Thompson 寫給 Bechet 的曲子;而全碟收在 Hildegard 的〈Spiritus sanctus vivificans〉,它前面那首〈Prelude to Hildegard〉是她與 Sam Becker、Leif Kaner-Lidström 三個人對這首聖歌的即興,署名三人共作。這也是她第一次以聯合製作人身分做專輯,合作的是 Barokksolistene 的 Bjarte Eike 與貝斯手 Becker,在劍橋郡 School Farm Studios 三天錄完。2016 年她是 BBC Young Musician 決賽史上第一位薩克斯手。

A graphic designer by trade, ZENBØ did the artwork for his first two albums himself. This is the first time the life has come before the look: he wrote it after a car accident in his family, and the running order follows a coma, a wait, a turn for the better and a waking. Four days after it came out he played Shibuya’s duo MUSIC EXCHANGE with SATOH and BILLY BOO, his first show outside Taiwan. Co-production credits read like a cross-section of Taipei’s indie and hip-hop circles: 呂士軒, 李英宏, Bradd, 鄭雙雙. Not on Bandcamp or Spotify yet — Apple Music. 他的本業是平面設計師,前兩張《怪胎大雄》與《咖啡氤》的美術都自己來。這張是第一次把個人經歷放到視覺之前——它寫在家人車禍之後,曲序對應昏迷、等待、好轉、醒來四個階段。他自己的說法是:這張有別於以往僅以視覺出發,更多的是加入我的經歷。共同製作掛的是呂士軒、李英宏、Bradd、鄭雙雙,臺灣獨立與嘻哈兩圈的一組交叉。發片後第四天他在東京渋谷 duo MUSIC EXCHANGE 同臺 SATOH 與 BILLY BOO,是他生涯第一次海外演出。

The quartet existed for two years before it ever went into a studio: it was assembled for a residency at the Théâtre de la Cité Internationale in Paris and only recorded after the closing concert, at Studio Gil Evans in Amiens, booked for three days and finished in two. Linda May Han Oh is the fourth player, on double bass. The tabla is structural rather than decorative, and both Prabhu Edouard and Oh sing as well as play. Neil Duggan, writing for All About Jazz, hears interaction that refuses to organise itself around a lead voice. 這個班底為巴黎 Théâtre de la Cité Internationale 一段兩年的駐場而組,直到閉幕音樂會結束之後才進棚。棚期訂了三天,在亞眠 Maison de la Culture 的 Studio Gil Evans,兩天就錄完。碟上第四人是低音提琴手 Linda May Han Oh。塔布拉在這裡不是擺設:Prabhu Edouard 與 Oh 除樂器之外都參與人聲。All About Jazz 的 Neil Duggan 給的判斷是四個人的互動不以主奏者為中心——沒有誰在前面帶路。
