“这张专辑是我弄清楚乐观的实用性比在悲观主义中更多的效用”:沃克斯特的马修·墨菲(Matthew Murphy)放开控制权

标志性独立三人组的歌手和吉他手Matthew“ Murph” Murph,Wombats坐下来,与我们聊天,谈论他在全球范围内的新乐观外观传播了厄运和忧郁。

自从我们上次从中解决了独立流行魔术以来,感觉就像永远袋鼠与他们以前的录音室专辑,美丽的人会破坏你的生活,在2018年发行。他们的一首歌在Tiktok上传播了,他们回来了,甚至比以往任何时候都更大,现在他们将发行他们的全新专辑,修复自己,而不是世界,并在伦敦的O2竞技场进行具有里程碑意义的表演前往巡回演出。

Their brand new record explores the idea of letting go of what you can’t control and was brought to life during a time when we all had to deal with exactly that as Covid reared its ugly head: “Dan and Tord flew to LA and we started writing together in my studio, we did that two or three times and then everything went to hell in a handbasket didn’t it?”马修·墨菲(Matthew Murphy)(称为Murph)在他说的话时散发出他通常的悠闲能量:“我有点在洛杉矶完成了其余的能量,仅此而已。在那之后我没看到这些家伙。”

新唱片被巩固为融合了墨尔夫(Murph)脑海中的思想和感觉。They eventually evolved into a collection of songs that showcase both fleeting moments of existentialism and feelings of acceptance towards the mess our world is in, but he won’t give too much away on the real depths of each song: “I like to put a bit more ambiguity into songs now than I may have done in the past and I feel like that’s important for them to be able to live their own lives almost.”

他重新放置帽子,该帽子位于曾经有一个签名的卷发拖把的地方。“我个人认为,我正在经历这种感觉,我有时需要退缩我可以拥有的控制方面,并且我应该放开这个想法,我们划船了,但宇宙转向了。”墨菲(Murph)质疑他的生活如何控制了他的生活,但他将每一个顿悟倒入了新唱片中,“这张专辑是我弄清楚乐观的效用比悲观或愤世嫉俗的思维中的效用更多。”

快速启动

他们以前的唱片帮助这些家伙在他的地面上奔跑,他解释说:“我对此感到非常满意,它为我们做了很多伟大的事情,我几乎在充满活力的情况下骑着这一动力。”从音乐上,艺术家等艺术家大卫·鲍伊大卫·伯恩(David Byrne)是记录中仪器的动力来源,“我们想让其中大量的吉他绊倒。”

他注意到黄昏Phaser是录音过程的关键要素,但是当涉及吉他时,由于洛杉矶64 Sound Studio的大量吉他,Murph不记得使用了什么:“他们有很多乐器,这么多吉他。那里有150个,所以我不知道我们弹的吉他,我们只是在挑选随机的吉他,看看他们听起来的样子。”尽管在我们心爱的乐器方面与一些新朋友一起玩,但他也倾向于一些经典的选择,“我一直是一个橙子放大器的家伙和挡泥板家伙。我通常去找一个电视广播员通过AD30。”

那么,我们期望在巡回演出中看到什么?“我有一个挡泥板我喜欢的科罗纳多,但实际上都是蓝色的鲍勃,”传奇的蓝色鲍勃是一个佩斯利电视广播员过着多彩的生活,并给袋鼠带来了标志性的金色音调。他在补充说:“这是我第一天以来我拥有的吉他之前,他的声音听起来像是“黄蜂在可乐罐中飞来飞去”。有点像猪猪的扫帚只有傻瓜。您知道当他说“我已经有30年的扫帚,有17个不同的手柄和五个不同的刷子”?蓝色鲍勃有点像这样。我不知道他是如何生存的。”他停下来思考着上路的现实,“我迫不及待地想进入O2竞技场,但我也试图对我们的所有计划保持现实。如果明年预订的每一场演出都会发生,我会印象深刻的。”

可以说,这次巡演可能会在人群中说一些新鲜面孔,我们无法与墨菲聊天,而没有询问他们的歌曲的混音,希腊悲剧, which exploded in popularity on TikTok: “I’d never heard the remix before, it’s funny how it happened during the writing of this album with the themes that were going on of letting go and that you aren’t as in control as you think; it was completely random that an influencer would somehow get a copy of this song and start singing it and it somehow took off. It was very strange.” Gen-Z’s favourite app is a powerhouse when it comes to the modern music world, surfacing new artists and bringing classic tracks back to life every day.

它对音乐行业的影响是非凡的,但是当涉及到年轻的人群时,看来,袋鼠已经习惯了他们不断增长的粉丝群:“在Tiktok发生的事情发生之前,我们看到很多新的年轻粉丝找到了我们的目录,听到了听到的声音about us and turning up at shows and we still don’t really understand it to this day. It was a macro version of everything we’ve seen before, it’s so weird it doesn’t really feel like it happened to us.”

Tiktok上的Wombats的官方帐户有超过120,000个关注者和新曲目工作很容易,生活很艰难explores the ugly side and pressures of social media in the era of cancel culture we find ourselves in. With lyrics of ‘why don’t you chop my tongue out?’ and ‘you don’t speak for me’, Murph admits it’s something he thinks about a lot, “You can’t write a good song with that crap going around your head. You can’t start self-censoring yourself in a creative environment, it’s just bad on so many levels and it’s gonna negatively impact the music and art someone makes.”

He shakes his head, “I feel it’s important as an artist to feel very free in the studio or creative workplace but if there’s anything kind of risky you can figure that out later with the help of someone who has more brain cells than you do!” He chuckles. “I don’t really like to write political songs and I still dont think it’s a political song but it is knocking on that door a little bit. It’s not something I’m gonna get into the habit of doing, they’re quite difficult to pull off.”

每个人自己

袋熊的声音可以立即被识别,在他们的18年中,作为乐队的18年,他们肯定将他们的商标留在了独立音乐世界上。这张专辑增加了他们精彩的厚脸皮歌词和惊人的吉他作品目录,但是我们可以期待他们标志性声音之外的wombats一张专辑吗?:“我真的很喜欢酷酷,怪异的流行歌曲。也许我们可以从中转移并做一些真正疯狂的事情斯科特·沃克录制自己在那张专辑中打一些培根或他所做的一切!也许我们有一天可以做到这一点,但它不在我的待办事项清单上。”

新的一年带来了Wombats的新时代,并有了非常充实而令人兴奋的日记,Murph对“巡回演出直到奶牛回家”感到兴奋。乐队继续主导他们的流派,变形和弯曲,以适应随之而来的每一代。他们发表了一张专辑,并带有核心信息,我们所有人都需要牢记生活,因为生活仍然不确定:“从积极的前景中可以带来更多。”
