來自雪梨的獨立搖滾樂團,今年的新作是一張理智與感性拉扯的作品,關於相信的事物所遭受到的考驗,生活中的沮喪與混亂,用搖滾樂標準的三件式樂器做出令人驚豔的情緒表達,製作人 Jonathan Gilmore 曾合作過 The 1975 以及 Beabadoobee,有聽過他們專輯的朋友,也一定會對這張專輯的搖滾樂器聲特別佮意!
The lifelong arm wrestle between head and heart sits at the centre of Faith Crisis Pt 1, the third album from Sydney s emotive indie rockers Middle Kids. Written at a time of a faith crisis, when songwriter and vocalist Hannah Joy found the structures and systems she believed in were being tested, the record lays out the painful, frustrating, messy pieces of the logic puzzle that life requires us to complete every day. Produced by Jonathan Gilmore (The 1975, Beabadoobee), Joy and bandmates Tim Fitz and Harry Day masterfully express the sensation of being overwhelmed, swept up and dragged down in songs that exalt and lift you higher. The results grab the listener from the opening bars and do not let go, finding the trio once again taking the bare-bones of indie-rock (guitar, bass, drums) and elevating their songs with astonishing and euphoric vocal performances, scorching production, and an incomparable pop-sensibility.
