掛載太空感的美國車庫迷幻樂團 White Manna的新專輯《Bleeding Eyes》也是去年不小心就會遺忘的作品;也是他們2012成軍以來的第六張發行,但如果要算「錄音室作品」,這是他們的第二張。
與小白兔一樣有著 "White" 字輩(硬要扯),《Bleeding Eyes》初聽第一輪其實沒有太多的亮點,順順的聽順順的過去,順順的就擱在一邊,過了幾天後突然想到再放出來,還是一樣順順的聽完,沒有過多的情緒(但其實音樂是有的),想破頭後才驚覺,原來這張專輯沒有可以挑惕的啊。
另類重點:非常乾的鼓也能行駛於其他樂器在空間上的滿載(筆記)
White Manna are back with their 6th release since 2012 and their first studio album since 2015 (Pan). The title tracks start things with an uptempo psych rocker. As with all the White Manna records, they have a special sound production. Drums are loud and dry, the guitars mixed to the back, space sounds quite low most of the time but present, and a nice rolling bass line.
Vocals on some tracks can be understood but on some tracks are mixed quite low and it is very hard to understand what is sung. Then it is all about the psychedelic trip. “Vimanasis” a slower more stoney but grooving track with a piano keyboard. “Trampoline” is a space rocker with a great energy and some nice spacey synth sweeps. This is the best track on side A. Wow, “Invisible Kings” finishes the side off and starts very abrupt and chaotic, twists your head around a bit, with a very psychedelic vocal, like a dark nightmare. Trippy stuff. Flip the record over to kick things off with “Speed Dagger,” which you might expect to be a super fast track. It is actually pretty mid-paced and very 60s inspired but in a heavy way! “English Breakfast” keeps it psychedelic with a sort of repeated start type of groove. “You Are The Movie” has a classic stoned White Manna sound, like some of their earlier stuff. “Freak” closes this latest psychedelic trip in a high energy fashion.
