从乐队上一次发布Demo专辑已经过去了一年四个月的时间。在过去的一年，乐队经历了“口罩封锁”、阵容更迭等一系列事情后，终于在今年四月将去年的部分作品制作完成与大家见面。这张《Rock&Gold Mine》专辑就融合了大量经典元素，乐队每个人的才华都被淋漓精致的呈现了出来。乐队每个人都将自己的想法融入进了每一首作品，使得作品在保持原汁原味的老摇滚元素下，又有大量的音乐想法上的激情碰撞和火花。乐队成员在一边演出一边磨合新作品中变得愈发默契，在创作上也不拘一格，有了《Office Lady》这样的融合funk和布鲁斯的音乐，也有像《Confession Of A Sinner》这样的类似歌剧与金属的融合，更有《On The Road》这样缓慢优雅的叙事歌曲。乐队还将Demo专辑里的三首歌进行了重新编排和再创作使得作品焕然一新。乐队始终在电影和书籍中寻找灵感，在浮躁的短视频时代乐队坚持保持优雅的创作理念，丝毫不被当下的快餐文化所影响。歌曲首首发自肺腑源自内心，唱着的不是对时代的不满，而是对自己的坚守。敬请欣赏专辑《Rock&Gold Mine》 1.《No Place To Stay》 这是乐队在阵容完全齐整后完成的第一首作品，融合了硬摇滚的粗粝和让人直冲云霄的节奏，又带有南方摇滚特有的轻快律动。随着歌曲开头的摩托声渐行渐远，强劲的吉他Riff会带你进入一个长篇的叙事之中，无法自拔。 2.《Hoover War》 这是乐队在看了《光荣与梦想》这本书后创作出的一首作品。“历史是一位耐心的老师，如果你记不住它并以史为鉴它就会一直重复轮回”歌曲旨在让人独立思考......吉他手铭七的加入使得作品的编曲更加有张力，Gil在作品中也使用了十二弦吉他，模仿了大编制管弦乐队宏大音色。 3.《Confession Of A Sinner》 这是一首偏向速度金属的一首歌曲。由贝斯手Geddy想出了开头的强劲Riff，后加入了前卫和迷幻的鼓。歌曲中美声的部分是由鼓手的女朋友演唱，美声的加入使得作品更加富有神话色彩。最后在主唱的声声咆哮声和吉他的阵阵轰鸣中达到高潮而结束。 4.《On The Road》 这是乐队创作于22年五月的一首歌。那时身边的一切都在沉寂，因环境而焦虑的乐队三人：Dean 、Gil、Geddy每日在通州的一个住处饮酒作乐，找乐子，仿佛是这个时代的竹林七贤。在一个日暮时分Gil弹出了开头的吉他扫弦，Geddy拿着贝斯紧跟其后，主唱Dean在半醉半醒之中哼唱出了最初的旋律。再之后我们真的像《在路上》这本书一样。我们想永远的让肉体去巡演，让灵魂在路上，就像这首歌一样！ 5.《Red Sun》 这是一首前卫摇滚与硬摇滚的融合。开头的贝斯暗藏杀机，整首歌大开大合，在录音阶段根据录音师刘秩亦的指点迷津，乐队在作品中融合大量中古调式以及阿拉伯调式。整个作品相较之前的Demo版不只是录音质量上的提升，在音乐性上更是有质的飞跃。 6.《Office Lady》 这是一首献给所有白领女孩的一首歌。歌舞融合了funk的节奏和布鲁斯的旋律，吉他手Gil那一听就有很重的老英国味道的吉他编配，使得整首歌变得在暗淡中带有暗藏的力量。这首歌中乐队加入了大量的乐器独奏，让贝斯手Geddy和吉他手铭七尽情施展了他们的无限才华。 7.《Rock N Roll》 这是乐队在21年初发布的Demo专辑里的一首歌。后续由于现场获得了很不错的反响，乐队将这首歌加入到了这张专辑里，并在吉他的编配和音色上做了大量的改进，鼓的部分也从一开始midi变成了实录，使得整首歌更有力量。 8.《Lady Evil》 这是乐队的一首翻唱作品。乐队在想不出翻唱什么作品的一筹莫展之际，吉他手Gil想到了主唱Dean第一次和乐队其他人见面时的场景；乐队在宿醉后，贝斯手Geddy将喝的烂醉的主唱Dean带回了家中，并让主唱睡到他自己的床上。Geddy自己则睡在了餐厅的椅子上。早晨醒来后主唱Dean被一首歌吵醒，连忙问Gil是什么歌，Gil回答“Lady Evil” 这个有趣的故事让乐队选择翻唱这首作品。 "Rock&Gold Mine" Album Description It's been a year and four months since the band last released a demo album. In the past year, the band went through a series of things such as "mask blockade" and band member changes, and finally finished making some of their works this year. The album "Rock&Gold Mine" combines a lot of classic elements, and everyone's talent is presented in an exquisite way. Each member of the band put their own ideas into each piece, making the work maintain the original old rock elements, but also a lot of passionate collisions and sparks in musical ideas. The band members became more and more in tune with each other as they played and worked on new material, and their compositions became more and more eclectic, ranging from funk and blues like "Office Lady" to opera and metal like "Confession Of A Sinner" to slow and elegant narrative songs like "On The Road". The band also rearranged and reworked three songs from the demo album to give it a new look. The band always looks for inspiration in movies and books, and in the age of frenetic short videos the band insists on maintaining an elegant creative concept, not being influenced by the current fast food culture in any way. The songs are sung from the heart, not from dissatisfaction with the times, but from their own perseverance. Please enjoy the album "Rock&Gold Mine". 1. This is the band's first work after the lineup was fully formed. It combines the coarseness and rhythm of hard rock with the unique light rhythm of southern rock. As the motorcycle sounds fade away at the beginning of the song, the powerful guitar riffs will take you into a long narrative that you can't stop yourself from following. 2. This is a piece that the band created after reading the book "Glory and Dreams". "History is a patient teacher, if you can't remember it and learn from it it will keep repeating itself" The song aims to make people think independently. Guitarist Ming Qi adds tension to the arrangement, and Gil also uses a twelve-string guitar in the piece, mimicking the grand sound of a large orchestra. 3. This is a song that leans towards speed metal. The bassist Geddy came up with the powerful Riff at the beginning and later added the edgy and psychedelic drums. The Americana part of the song is sung by the drummer's girlfriend, and the addition of the Americana makes the piece more mythical. The song ends with a crescendo of vocal growls and guitar blasts. 4. This is a song written by the band in May of '22. At that time, everything around them was silent, and the three of them, Dean, Gil, and Geddy, who were anxious by their circumstances, were drinking and having fun in a place in Tongzhou every day, as if they were the seven sages of the bamboo forest in this era. One day at dusk Gil played the opening guitar sweep, Geddy followed with his bass, and Dean, the lead singer, hummed the initial melody while half-drunk and half-awake. And then after that we were really like the book "On the Road". We wanted to let the flesh go on tour forever and keep the soul on the road, just like this song! 5. This is a fusion of avant-garde rock and hard rock. The bass at the beginning of the song is a killer, and the whole song is very open. During the recording stage, according to the guidance of the recording engineer Liu Chichiyi, the band integrated a lot of Chinese and Arabic tunes in the work. The whole work is not only an improvement in recording quality compared to the previous demo album, but also a qualitative leap in musicality. 6. This is a song dedicated to all white-collar girls. The song and dance combines funk rhythm and blues melody, and guitarist Gil's guitar arrangement that has a heavy old English flavor at first hearing makes the whole song become in the dark with a hidden power. The band adds a lot of instrumental solos in this song, allowing bassist Geddy and guitarist Ming Qi to show off their unlimited talents. 7. This is a song from the band's demo album released in the early 2021. The band added this song to the album after it received a very good response live, and made a lot of improvements in the guitar arrangement and sound, and the drum part was changed from midi to live at the beginning, making the whole song more powerful. 8. This is one of the band's covers. When the band was at a loss for a cover, guitarist Gil came up with the idea of Dean's first meeting with the rest of the band; after a hangover, bassist Geddy took the drunken singer back home and let him sleep in his own bed, while Geddy himself slept in a chair in the dining room. In the morning, Dean woke up to a song and asked Gil what it was, to which Gil replied "Lady Evil". This interesting story led the band to cover the song.
