2024 一定要收的夢幻之聲。
低調、緩慢、深層且優雅是聽到 Clinic Stars 會立即出現的感受，這對來自底特律的雙人組從 2021 年開始發布作品，他們在家裡細膩的造夢，接近意識流的 Dream pop 與緩速吉他音牆令人沈醉，首張專輯《Only Hinting》即將在九月由 Kranky 發行，這個廠牌果然是挖掘 slow motion 的專家，讓人不禁聯想到他們家也有著類似氣息的作品：Windy & Carl、Low、Labradford、Bowery Electric。
The full-length debut by Detroit duo Giovanna Lenski and Christian Molik aka Clinic Stars both refines and redefines their pitch-perfect fusion of downer-pop balladry and featherweight shoegaze: Only Hinting. Recorded and produced at the band home studio, the album was crafted across 2022 and 2023, patiently layering FX and spatial depths to give each song a swirling, subconscious undertow. From the strummed whirlpool of “I Am The Dancer” to the gated reverb of “Remain” to the greyscale guitar reverie of “Isnt It,” the record aches as much as moves, daydreaming of escape and transcendence.
The group cite a desire to leave their “industrial environment” as muse, although the songs also revel in the romance of longing itself, in the beauty of hearts grown distant. The duos previous EPs, 10,000 Dreams (2021) and April s Past (2022), captured a similarly swooning slowcore palette, but Only Hinting hits different. Here haze is as much instrument as texture, gauze and melody married as one, traced in elegant arcs across cities streaked in shadow.
