[Alternative-Country/Americana]Lambchop的巡演版8碟Boxset

Lambchop乐队

　　[独立音地-2010-12-02]　在全球扁平化以后，越来越多的地域性内容获得了世界性关注，但是在去掉猎奇这个标签以后，又有多少是真正共通于你我的呢。恐怕很多人一看到纳什维尔这四个人就会联想到乡村民谣，生长于此地的Lambchop（小羊排骨）就是其中的代表，他们同时被标注为Alternative Country和 Americana。很显然，后者正是一个地域性的分类。不过，我们开头的描述也是为了引向这个结论：这块本应该只属于一地的小羊排骨适合更多人享用，除了显而易见的易听特点，Lambchop用地域民谣吟唱出了很多人会有的生活体验，而这种柔情恰好可以直达心底。
　　听音无数的袁智聪先生毫不吝啬的用“惊为天人”来描述Lambchop，对优美声音背后的情感，袁智聪则使用了“美丽、哀痛、令人心碎”等等来表达自己的认同。如果用现在的流行词汇来表达，你可以说Lambchop的声音是隐藏在明骚之后的闷骚。这一切大多属于这支庞大乐团的主唱Kurt Wagner。当然，Lambchop在声音上的圆熟和之后的承载能力，是让大部分轻飘飘吟唱风花雪月的独立艺人所望尘莫及的。
　　以上介绍是不是已经足够你下定决心去听一下了呢？

　　回到这套同样庞大的8碟套装，尽管Lambchop此前已经发行了N多唱片，但是这套新作并非是简单精选，而是乐队自九十年代以来众多现场售卖唱片的一个集合。这也是Lambchop的一个特点，他们会在每次巡演前制作一些仅在演出现场零售的唱片，而这些作品里的曲目并未出现在他们的正式出品里。除此之外，这套boxset的另一个关注点是同时收录了Lambchop的两个现场，其一是2006年让他们声名鹊起的《Damaged》发行巡演中在布鲁塞尔的演出，另一个则是乐队在他们的美国公司Merge Records成立20周年庆祝活动的演出录像。
　　就像我们此前在[新碟快报]里介绍的唱片在中国的命运一样，这款套装的售价是119美金，估计国内不会有多少人会动念去买，那么独立音地的介绍是为什么呢？只是希望那些关注我们的人能够不断收获喜欢的声音。
