The Electric Soft Parade's song--Cold World
I wanna get rid of this feeling
I wanna be a part of everything
Like the way it all should be
Cos I've been living in a cold world
The kind that has itself wrapped around you
Fumbling for some kind of love
And in the middle of the night you'll worry about it and it'll never go away
You understand it all and that is way much more than you should ever have known
I will wait I will hope and pray that you'll be there
You gotta part with all the bad stuff
I gotta say it does you no favours
Fumbling for some kind of love
Cos I've been living in a cold world
The kind that has itself curled around you
Fumbling for some kind of love
又是一对英国怀特兄弟档出来闯踢天下的故事。但对于2002年的英伦乐坛而言,这样的一个承袭后英式摇滚(Post-BritPop)又有怎样的期待?因为常听到有乐迷开始怀念九零年代中期时的盛况,再对照如今Post-BritPop的消退,总不让人有点神伤,这是一个摇滚乐不再撼动人心的时代了吗?
于是我们继续追问,当像Electric Soft Parade这样的新团出来时,不禁要问Electric SoftParade是否能继续生存在这险恶的环境,亦或是他们是另一个昙花一现的新秀团而已?乍听这张《Holes In TheWall》第一总体印象是,这对年轻人应该是听了不少的60年代经典的迷幻摇滚作品,他们对电吉他的各种运用,不论是强力刷弦或对歌曲气氛的营造都有着不少着前人的影子,Ash、Oasis或是时下一点美式另类摇滚的口味都让这张专辑有着一定的市场销售潜力,只要听听里头长达九分钟的曲子Silentto the Dark便可发现他们实在宛如是一个经由不断反复咀嚼而出的混血种,任何你想到的英式摇滚名团都是Electric SoftParade的养分,而所谓的Post-BritPop的新品种似乎也难以翻新意,不信吗?看看cd内页他们家中的小型练习场的墙上挂的是什么?Six By Seven、Super FurryAnimals、David Lynch的《Eraserhead》等玩团青年必备的海报,你便不禁要问Post-Brit Pop的出路在哪?
