Listen to "Crawling Ashore" with the volume up and you can hear the instrument working: Chris Taylor, reviewing it for The Line of Best Fit, caught the "clinks and clanks" of the machine under the dirge, and nobody tidied them away. The machine is the Bach Organ in Leipzig's Thomaskirche, built by Woehl in 2000 and tuned to Baroque temperaments, in the church where Bach was cantor for the last 27 years of his life. Malone, an American-born composer who has long worked out of Stockholm, is the first musician to play contemporary work on it, according to her label. Lucy Railton joins on cello and Stephen O'Malley bows an acoustic guitar; on "Sounding A Void" the three lines thicken until, Taylor writes, you can feel your body vibrating. The first half began as a 2023 Venice Biennale commission, sketched on a backstage piano in Brussels. Taylor gave it an 8, and called it a way in for people who have bounced off her longer works. 教堂裡那臺叫「巴赫管風琴」，2000 年由 Woehl 造，照巴洛克時期的律調音，也就是巴赫自己熟悉的那種音準。2025 年八月，她在那裡錄了兩個深夜，廠牌說她是第一個在這臺琴上演奏當代作品的人。Lucy Railton 拉大提琴，Stephen O'Malley 用弓去拉一把木吉他，Francesco Donadello 擺了二十多支麥克風。The Line of Best Fit 的 Chris Taylor 給了 8 分，他在〈Crawling Ashore〉裡聽見的，是管風琴機械本身的喀噠與哐噹，悲歌底下那層機器聲沒有被修掉；到了〈Sounding A Void〉，琴、大提琴、弓拉吉他疊成一片，他說整個身體跟著震。這張的前半是 2023 年威尼斯音樂雙年展的委約，最初幾筆草稿寫在布魯塞爾 Bozar 後臺的一臺鋼琴上，那是她童年之後頭一回對著鋼琴作曲。我會在夜裡再聽一遍，白天聽它，琴聲太遠。

The band originally wanted A. G. Cook to rework their demos into something like Screamadelica. He declined that job and took the whole record instead, insisting, by his own account, that live drums go down before most of the songs were finished. The reception is split down the middle. Stereogum made it Album of the Week; Dom Lepore at The Line of Best Fit heard a leaner, poppier band, singled out "Kid," compared "Trillions" to beabadoobee, and called the whole thing an overcorrection. Both readings can be true at once. 一開始只是想請 A. G. Cook 把 demo 改造成《Screamadelica》那種樣子。Cook 沒接這份差事，反過來把整張的製作接了下來。他自己說，大部分歌還沒寫完，他就堅持先錄現場鼓，吉他也要走指定的效果器，電腦處理壓到最少。結果評論分成兩邊：Stereogum 選為本週專輯，The Line of Best Fit 的 Dom Lepore 只給 6 分，他聽到的是一個更精簡、更貼近流行的 DIIV，覺得用力過頭了。

Elena Tonra's side project from Daughter, back after eight years. On "Radio Station" a dial that keeps slipping between stations stands in for a mind that will not settle, and the arrangement does the same, with Hinako Omori's sustained synths and Josephine Stephenson's cello. Kevin Fullerton at The List thinks "Frozen Aisle" may be the best song she has written. Daughter 主唱 Elena Tonra 的個人計畫，隔了八年。她原本沒打算做第二張，直到 2023 年和製作人 Fabian Prynn 的幾段草稿長出了形狀。Hinako Omori 彈合成器，Josephine Stephenson 拉大提琴。The List 的 Kevin Fullerton 最看重〈Frozen Aisle〉，超市冷凍櫃那一首，慢慢推、鼓一層一層疊上來，他說可能是她生涯最好的歌。

Gavin Bryars named his concerto "Busoni's Chickering," after a harpsichord that Ferruccio Busoni once owned, and wrote it for Esfahani to premiere in Liverpool in 2023. The title work is Gary Carpenter's Mondrian, commissioned for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic's new-music group Ensemble 10/10; Caroline Shaw's concerto for harpsichord and strings completes the set. Three living composers, one instrument most people still file under Bach. Gavin Bryars 替他寫羽管鍵琴協奏曲時，刻意少寫裝飾音，把空白留給獨奏者自己填；Bryars 拿尺八大師來比他。那首曲子叫〈Busoni's Chickering〉，名字來自 Busoni 擁有過的一臺 Chickering 羽管鍵琴，2023 年三月在利物浦首演。碟名則是 Gary Carpenter 為利物浦愛樂旗下的 Ensemble 10/10 寫的《Mondrian》，另一首來自 Caroline Shaw。三首都出自在世作曲家。

"There is no home to go back to," Burton told The Line of Best Fit about "I'm A Stranger," and the record around it sounds like someone who has stopped expecting one. He wrote nearly half of it during a few months in Northern California, after a car crash on tour and the end of the band he was touring with. Jonathan Wilson produced. It is his first album for Captured Tracks. 這張起於一場車禍。疫情那幾年他跟著前一支樂隊巡演，路上出了事，團員一起把傷養好，然後樂隊散了。他改成一個人帶著精簡編制上路，在北加州待了幾個月，寫完將近一半的歌。製作是 Jonathan Wilson。談到〈I'm A Stranger〉，他只說了一句：已經沒有家可以回去了。

The Pizzicato Five songbook, down to one voice and one guitar. Konishi released two of these on the same day, re-singing his old band's songs and ones he wrote for others. He told Mikiki he wanted to make them while he and his engineer of more than thirty years are still able to, and described himself as the guitarist with the fewest moves in the world. 小西康陽（Konishi Yasuharu）同一天出了兩張，另一張叫『あなたには感謝している』，都只有他自己的人聲和一把吉他，把 PIZZICATO FIVE 時期的歌、寫給別人的歌重唱一遍。他在 Mikiki 的專訪裡說，體力和咬字都在退，合作三十多年的錄音師廣瀬修身體也不比從前，所以要趁還做得動的時候做。他稱自己是世界上手數最少的吉他手，唱出來的是老人才有的速度感。這兩張他說主要是做給自己的。

The London nine-piece take an old fox-hunting song, "Tally Ho! Hark Away!", and sing it from the fox's side. Elsewhere a melody is rung out on bells recorded in Leuven, and one track starts as a lo-fi tape from a church in Rouen before a button clicks and the studio takes over. The Quietus made it Album of the Week, calling it traditional music at its most progressive. 〈Jowl, Jowl And Listen Lads〉裡有一段講父親之死的歌詞，原本不屬於這首歌：是民謠論壇 Mudcat 上一位網友把兩首歌搞混，貼錯了。這支倫敦九人團照唱不誤。The Quietus 把它選為上週的本週專輯，記下了更多來歷：一首愛爾蘭古調先用卡帶機現場錄一遍，回放時再跟著彈一遍疊上去；〈The Worms Crept Out〉的旋律由比利時魯汶的鐘聲敲出來；〈Tally Ho! Hark Away!〉把一首獵歌改從狐狸那一邊唱。收尾是〈I Wish That There Were No Prisons〉。

A Taipei cold-wave band named after Shunji Iwai's film, back after four years. Their bassist and producer, 大慶, told Mirror Media that the pressure in the studio was so heavy he coped by eating his way through the menu of a burger chain near the studio. The band also picked up a triangle for the first time. I'll need a few more listens before I say more. 團名取自巖井俊二的電影，臺北的冷電子樂團，隔了四年，趕在成團十週年。主唱兼貝斯手大慶又一次自己製作，他跟鏡週刊說，錄音壓力大到只能靠吃，把錄音室附近那家摩斯漢堡的菜單吃了一輪。這次第一次用了三角鐵，鼓手又銓說它成了團裡的新樂器。實體 CD 十一月六日才出。
