On "Ode to P.L.D.," James Brandon Lewis stops playing long enough to read Paul Laurence Dunbar's "The Colored Soldiers" himself. The premise of the piece is a meeting that probably never happened: Dunbar and Dvořák at the World's Fair, 1893. Behind it runs a lineage Lewis clearly cares about, from Dvořák's student Harry Burleigh, who brought spirituals to his teacher, to the American sound Dvořák went looking for. The project was not his to begin with. The trumpeter Roy Campbell Jr. had taken on a Dvořák piece for the Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theatre and died in 2014 with it unfinished; William Parker asked Lewis to pick it up. The music was first written for trio, then set aside, then expanded for Red Lily, which is why Lewis calls the album "ten years overdue." It was recorded over two days last October, "in a day and a half," in his words. It closes a trilogy that began with George Washington Carver and Mahalia Jackson. Paste's Mariam Abdel-Razek found very little in it that is derivative. 事情要從小號手 Roy Campbell Jr. 說起。他生前接下捷克斯洛伐克－美國木偶劇團的一個計畫，主題是德沃夏克在美國的那幾年；2014 年他過世，計畫停在半路。William Parker 找 Lewis 去紐約接手，那是 Lewis 第一次替這類計畫當音樂總監。曲子最早寫給三重奏，擱了很多年才擴編給 Red Lily，他在 PostGenre 的專訪裡乾脆說這張「遲到了十年」。〈Ode to P.L.D.〉設想詩人 Paul Laurence Dunbar 在 1893 年芝加哥世博會上遇見德沃夏克，Lewis 在曲中親口朗誦 Dunbar 的〈The Colored Soldiers〉；整張碟背後還有一條線，是德沃夏克的學生 Harry Burleigh 把黑人靈歌帶到老師面前。2025 年十月兩天錄完，他自己的說法是一天半。這是 Red Lily 致敬三部曲的第三張，前兩張寫的是 George Washington Carver 與 Mahalia Jackson。Paste 的 Mariam Abdel-Razek 寫得很直接：這張裡沒什麼是照搬來的。內頁文字出自 UCLA 音樂學院院長 Michael Beckerman 之手。

The posthumous C-sharp minor nocturne survives in two manuscripts, and Kolesnikov refused to choose between them: one version opens the set, the other closes it. "Why don't we put them both on the same level?" he asked The Riff Magazine. The rest of the album, he writes in the booklet, was made largely with his eyes closed, calling up each nocturne in the dark before sleep and memorising its hue and weight. He recorded it on a Yamaha CFX at Merritt Hall in Dorset, with Andrew Keener producing. 巡演途中，他在巴黎被人拉去看一場山本耀司的時裝秀，本來不想去，剛好碰上休息日。事後他說那是他看過最好的演出之一，也是那場秀讓他敢在一場音樂會裡把全部夜曲彈完。錄音的做法更私人：他在小冊子裡寫，每晚睡前躺在黑暗裡，先在腦中把一首夜曲召喚出來，記住它的色調與重量，白天再把它彈回來。升 c 小調那首遺作夜曲，他按兩份手稿各錄一版，一版放開頭、一版放結尾。琴是 Yamaha CFX，錄音地點在多塞特一所女校的音樂廳，製作人 Andrew Keener。

The title fuses two words, utsutsu, waking reality, and utsukushii, beautiful. It is the band's first album of new songs since their drummer left last October. The singer and guitarist works as a guitar tech on other people's sessions, and according to the label he chased a different texture for every track here. The CD follows on November 11. 鼓手長谷川啟太停擺八個月後在去年十月退團，這是之後第一張原創專輯。主唱兼吉他手さかしたひかる 平常替許多人的錄音當吉他技師，據廠牌的說法，這次他替每首歌各找各的質感，失真、晃動、粗糙都算數。碟名是「うつつ」與「美しい」拼出來的造詞。CD 延到十一月十一日。

The first half of the title came off a sign at a ranch in West Texas. Horse gentling means training without force, and Rose took it as a description of growing up without much guidance. The second half is the mall on Long Island near where Rose grew up. Rose has said the name always struck them as funny. After a GarageBand record sold only on Bandcamp, this one has John Congleton producing and comes out on Rose's own new label, SUCK. Maeri Ferguson at No Depression heard punk-rock fire in it. 碟名拆成兩半看。前半來自 Rose 在西德州一座牧場看到的告示牌，horse gentling 是一種不靠暴力馴馬的方法，Rose 拿它比自己在缺少引導的環境裡長大；後半的 Walt Whitman Mall 是長島老家的商場，Rose 跟 Our Culture 說，拿一位詩人替商場命名，這件事一直讓人想笑。上一張是隻在 Bandcamp 賣的 GarageBand 錄音集，這次請來 John Congleton 製作，同時自己開了廠牌 SUCK。No Depression 的 Maeri Ferguson 聽到的是一團龐克的火氣，並說 Congleton 的製作剛好夠少。

Missy Mazzoli wrote Harp and Altar for Kronos in 2009 as a love song to Brooklyn, named after a line in Hart Crane's poem The Bridge, and nobody had recorded it until now. The Danish quartet met her in Svalbard in 2024, played the piece there, and later flew to New York to plan the session under the Williamsburg Bridge. Gabriel Kahane sings Crane's lines at the end. Mendelssohn's second quartet fills out the program. 這張的起點在北極圈。2021 年，這支丹麥四重奏在零下二十二度、冰山環繞的 Svalbard 第一次翻開孟德爾頌第二號四重奏的譜；三年後，他們在同一個地方認識了 Missy Mazzoli，第一次拉她的《Harp and Altar》，回程的巴士上就把這張專輯談定了。那首曲子 2009 年由 Kronos 委約，此前從沒人錄過。幾個月後四人飛到布魯克林，在威廉斯堡大橋底下和 Mazzoli 喝咖啡定計畫。Mazzoli 說這首原本是寫給布魯克林的情歌，曲名取自 Hart Crane 寫布魯克林大橋的詩句，結尾由 Gabriel Kahane 唱出 Crane 的詩。中提琴手 Daniel 十八歲那年因為初戀迷孟德爾頌第二號，從小提琴改拉中提琴。這張我還想再聽兩遍再說。

Before anyone wrote a song, the guitarist Rin wrote a short story and sent its outline to the band and staff. Then the band covered both sides of a whiteboard with a tree diagram of what they wanted to be, and landed on a single word: sunao, being honest. It is their major-label debut, and the keyboardist made sure a Juno-60 shows up on every track. 主流廠牌的出道專輯。動工之前，吉他手 Rin 先寫了一篇短篇小說，在第一首歌開工前就把概念和小說梗概發給所有人；鍵盤手 Leno 則替自己定下規矩，每首歌都要用不同的面貌放進 Roland Juno-60。〈WGMM〉是 Rin 在 LINE 群組裡向全員徵集「這個時代討厭的地方」，再全部塞進一首歌。

When school was going badly, his mother sent the Nigerian-born boy to a music class at Dixon Hall in Toronto. Years later he played the young Oscar Peterson in a Heritage Minute, and here he gives Peterson's "Requiem" a new arrangement with the Odin Quartet. Mike Gates at UK Vibe gave it four stars. 生在奈及利亞，小時候隨家人移民多倫多，功課跟不上，母親把他送進 Dixon Hall 的音樂班；2021 年，他在加拿大的國民歷史短片 Heritage Minute 裡演少年 Oscar Peterson。這張收了 Peterson 的〈Requiem〉，三重奏之外加上 Odin Quartet 的弦樂重編，UK Vibe 的 Mike Gates 聽出那是向英雄致意，給了四顆星。同碟還有 Bud Powell、Paul Simon 與 Piazzolla。

Recorded in pieces across Indonesia, Mexico City, Berlin and New York, with files passed back and forth until the songs grew. The Balinese percussionist Putu Septa plays kendang, and Melati ESP's voice is cut up and used as rhythm. I need a few more listens. 三個人分在印尼、墨西哥城、柏林、紐約，錄音傳來傳去，有的曲子一次成形，有的慢慢長出來。巴里島鼓手 Putu Septa 在兩首裡打 kendang，Melati ESP 的人聲被剪碎了當節奏。
