♪ Music Miscellaneous | 2021.05 Records | New Arrivals: Liars/Chen Xiuze/TEKE::TEKE...and more

This series is a personal music listening record and life trivia sharing, and the selection of songs is completely personal preference. It's not a music review, it's not important, please feel free to listen to it.

Subsequent monthly new recommended songs will come with more stringent conditions: subject to the date of posting,

The song selection will only select links with less than 100,000 views.

After all, Haruki Murakami told Mr. Akai that the more inexplicably strict rules you set for your life, the more you will achieve great things (did you really say that?). I didn't want to practice the Eight Dunjia, and I couldn't possibly win the Nobel Prize for Literature (... let's not mention it), but in order to Make Music Great Again, I had to do this. In theory, more low-popular/experimental/unpopular works will be shared, but if there is a new work released by the love group at the end of the month, there is still a chance to sneak in before the clicks exceed 100,000!

◎ Single★ Liars - Sekwar

Crowd-hating, gloomy and fantastical Angus Andrew, who created the eccentric band Liars, announced a new album, The Apple Drop , to be released in August. No one seems to know what the title of the released single "Sekwar" means...that's okay, he just wanted to create the feeling that people listening to his music and monologues could be transported through a wormhole into the Liar's universe. He mainly plays experimental rock, and his most famous gossip is actually...

He was the male protagonist who made "Yeah Yeah Yeahs" Karen O sing the heartbreaking song " Maps "!

★ Wring Out Laura - Willow feat. ALFA Wang Afa

No, it's been a month since the video has only been viewed more than 100 times, and the number of views of the street sound has not exceeded 1,000. It has already been blessed by Alpha, at least you can attract some obvious fans to listen to it? I don't know anything about electronic music, but it sounds amazing, I recommend it to everyone. For more information, please refer to the low-key musician's good friend - blowing music report:

◇ Wring Out Laura and Ting Tian Tang Wang Afa collaborated on the single "Willow" to express the pain of life parting with willow trees

★ Eli Gaul - looking for you

listen well. (Word-poor me.)

The publicity tour of the third album was cancelled due to the impact of the epidemic, and the producer's husband also said about this song: "In music production and video MV production, the two groups of staff from Taiwan and Japan have not met from beginning to end. , relying solely on the connection and data transmission of the Internet, the entire work can be completed and presented in front of you.” I feel that during the epidemic, many international cooperation should be completed in this way.

After listening to the elegant and beautiful voice, I continued to drive.

★ Koreless - Black Rainbow

The MV is annoying. In 2011, when he was still in his twenties, Koreless, a young and well-known young man who started making background noise electronic music (in fact, he never knew how to translate ambient electronic music to be accurate), his works always brought a cold sci-fi feeling to the ears. He disappeared for five years after the release of his last single, and suddenly reappeared this month to release a new album.

◇ Koreless shares first new music in five years with 'Black Rainbow' and 'Moonlight' (NME)

★ Biig Piig - American Beauty

This is actually a song link automatically generated by the Youtube-Topic system. The album has just been released, and the official channel has not uploaded the official version of the single MV, so the click rate is still low. Otherwise, with this new-generation Irish magnetic female voice who has two Spanish and English voices and is rising in popularity (and has been signed by Sony, there are major manufacturers promoting Olympic aid), it may be a little difficult to click below 100,000.

★ Delta T - Lonely Ice Cream

The retro and nostalgic Disco style is very interesting. The Cantonese for "ice cream" is the homonym of Disco. For more introduction, please refer to the link of the friend station: Delta T egg tart head and its "Lonely Ice Cream"

Well written, if you are interested, please click directly into his article to read! (I’m getting lazy, so let’s just digress to share the previous RPG game “Disco Elysium” . The game already supports traditional Chinese!)

★ Peach Detective Agency (Peach + Wang Shuiyuan) - Person Search

Vietnamese RAP is very strong, the new southbound policy should subsidize his Vietnamese rap song production! As a half-Vietnamese ancestry, Taozi continued to learn and improve his Vietnamese language, and published works combining Vietnamese, Chinese and English, which made people amazed again and again. I hope that in the future, I can hear more voices through music after realizing cultural integration and exchanges like this in Taiwan.

★ Chelsea Wolfe - Diana

*Dark Nights: Death Metal Soundtrack

The American DC Comics has invited a group of musicians to create exclusive songs for the characters in the monthly DC Universe comics series: Dark Nights: Death Metal , which ended in January this year, and even released an original soundtrack album ( the official website can hear the works of all the characters). Chelsea Wolfe This song is actually about Wonder Woman, nicknamed "Diana Prince" in the early days.

Wolfe maintains his usual ghostly style, making one wonder if this Wonder Woman is really a decent hero? Reference Listening: You are my sunshine from not knowing which galaxy.

★ Meixiu Group - Dreamers

The video released by PO has more than 90,000 views on this day, and it may break 100,000 in a day or two. According to the current popularity of Meixiu Group, it is very likely that I will recommend their songs for the last time...

In the early days of the orchestra, it consisted of several close friends from school days, and there has always been a profound revolutionary emotional atmosphere among the members. Founding members Li Wei and Pei Ci, because of their different life aspirations, chose to leave the stage one after another when the orchestra was flourishing, and each made contributions to the development of design and teaching. Perhaps for them, it is enough to experience the process of creating the band, practicing the creation of the band, running around for the performance, and hatching this dream about Meixiu together. Li Wei still participates in the visual design of Meixiu Group after leaving the group, and looks forward to their continued opportunities for cross-border cooperation in the future. Finally, look back at the song Li Wei recorded for him when he was in the army: Wei Zai .

★ Chen Xiuze - wait for me

After experiencing harassment with former band members or other band members, he returned to his hometown in Pingtung and worked as a delivery driver again to make a living. After watching several live broadcasts before bed and night on social software, the radio was poor and the light was dim. He was still mumbling to himself, talking about the past and background of previous songwriting. Rather than a live broadcast, I felt more like he was going through a course of trying to get back in touch with the crowd and self-recovery.

We can all wait for your music and sound.

◎ Live Session:
★ TEKE TEKE - Live on KEXP at Home

Thanks to KY Chen for sharing, the official website describes themselves as a 7-member Japanese psychedelic rock band based in Montreal. They are good at using traditional Japanese instruments, shinobue, trombone and guitar to make strong pulsating rhythms, creating 60 ~The sound of a traditional Japanese soundtrack from the 70's. The band just released their new album " Shirushi " (Sign), and played four of them in this 21-minute Live Session, plus a 2018 single EP "Jikaku" (self-覚).

In the film, MAYA, the eye-catching lead singer who looks like an English teacher, was actually just an audience watching their performances off the stage when the band formed an army. They joined because they liked them very much, so that the band has a fixed vocal lead. The group name TEKE::TEKE is derived from a Japanese rural legend. It is a female ghost whose lower body is cut off, walks only with both hands and is super fast (TEKETEKE is the slang word issued when walking).

★ Damien Rice - Back to Her Man <2017>

In fact, it was a live performance in 2017, and the video was uploaded in May. (yes, it's La Blogothèque, which I love very much)

The first 2 minutes and 40 seconds of the film explains how he was inspired to write the song and teach lead singing after participating in three warm-ups for Leonard Cohen in Dublin.

His personal works are not many ("O" in 2002 has only 3 albums in almost 20 years), but the songs are classic. There are gossips that he has been devastated since his goddess Lisa Hannigan left him and moved to Iceland to live in exile (?). In any case, I can still occasionally hear his cover works, single EPs, or old videos unearthed in recent years, and I am very grateful.

★ Mdou Moctar - Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

Mdou Moctar is a Tuareg from Niger, Africa (a nomad who haunts around the Sahara Desert!), the music is super cool, a bit similar to the tonality of Indian songs, retains the rustic taste of country music, and at the same time is a little more wild Mystery. He also just released a new album on 5/21: Afrique Victime . If you like this Live Session, it is also recommended to listen to it.

It's just because I keep hearing these cool things that I always feel that I don't use the Internet enough every day.

◎ Album:

★ Wang Yujun - "Immortal Youth" Exhibition Music Album

In order to let the end of the article have a little Wen Qing atmosphere (green? Are you sure it's not Wen Shu Wen Bo?), I recommend this soundtrack album created in conjunction with the exhibition "Immortal Youth - Taiwan Art Rediscovery" at the Beijing Normal University Art Museum. It was broadcast live and was released digitally in May. Each song is a tribute to the creation of different exhibits. For details, please refer to the following links:

◇ Wang Yujun released the "Immortal Youth" exhibition music album, invited Zhong Yufeng to talk with Taiwan's modern art works (playing music)
