There's no reason to base your music-listening habits around the weather.
根据天气调整听音乐的习惯固然没有什么道理。
But you should still keep an eye on the new releases this spring, otherwise you'll miss out on some incredible albums.
但你这个春天还是应该关注一下新发行的唱片,否则你会错过一些非常棒的专辑。
1. Real Estate, In Mind
“不动产”乐队的专辑《在心中》
Release date: March 17
发行日期:3月17日
Label: Domino
厂牌:多米诺
Why we're excited: On records like 2014's Atlas and 2011's Days, New Jersey indie-rock standard-bearers Real Estate established a brand of Feelies-indebted songcraft. Judging from singles like "Darling" and "Stained Glass," In Mind will pull from the same hazy, tuneful playbook.
关注理由:在2014年的《地图集》和2011年的《日子》等专辑中,新泽西独立摇滚界的领袖乐队“不动产”打响了他们饱含深情的唱功招牌。从《亲爱的》和《彩色玻璃》这些单曲来看,专辑《在心中》也会同样的朦胧而优美。
2. Spoon, Hot Thoughts
“勺子乐队”的专辑《热念》
Release date: March 17
发行日期:3月17日
Label: Matador
厂牌:斗牛士
Why we're excited: Is there a more consistent band than Spoon? The art-rock group broke into the mainstream with highly hummable, The O.C. soundtrack-era singles like "The Way We Get By" and "I Turn My Camera On." Now, Spoon is back on its original label, older and wiser.
关注理由:论风格的一贯性,还有哪支乐队能比得上“勺子乐队”呢?这支艺术摇滚乐队在O.C.唱片盛行的时代凭借很易于哼唱的《我们走过的路》、《我开了相机》等单曲晋身主流乐队之列。如今,“勺子乐队”又回归到了最初的厂牌,更加老练也更加睿智。
3. Pallbearer, Heartless
“护柩者”乐队的专辑《无心》
Release date: March 24
发行日期:3月24日
Label: Profound Lore
厂牌:深远的传说
Why we're excited: After crushing fans with 2014's Foundations of Burden, these Arkansas doom-metal kings have returned.
关注理由:在2014年的专辑《负担之基》碾碎粉丝的心之后,这群来自阿肯色州的厄运金属之王又回来了。
4. Nelly Furtado, The Ride
妮莉•费塔朵的专辑《骑行》
Release date: March 31
发行日期:3月31日
Label: Nelstar
厂牌:Nelstar
Why we're excited: It's been nearly 17 years since Nelly Furtado first enchanted radio listeners with "I'm Like a Bird" and over a decade since she conquered the Billboard singles chart with the Timbaland-produced classic "Promiscuous." The 38-year-old singer continues to innovate on The Ride. She's said the album is her "hangover album".
关注理由:自妮莉•费塔朵凭借《我像一只小鸟》让收音机观众为之倾倒已有近17年,从她凭借提姆巴兰制作的经典歌曲《淫乱》征服单曲榜也已经超过10年。这位38岁的歌手在新专辑《骑行》中继续创新,据说,她将这张专辑称为自己的“宿醉专辑”。
5. At the Drive-In, in•ter a•li•a
“At the Drive-In”乐队的专辑《其中》
Release date: May 5
发行日期:5月5日
Label: Rise
厂牌:崛起
Why we're excited: After reuniting for a tour in 2012, the Texas punk band returned to the studio and picked "up where we left off." Check out the first single "Incurably Innocent" and judge for yourself.
关注理由:2012年结束巡回演唱之后,这支德克萨斯州的朋克乐队回到工作室“拾起了往昔所失”。听听第一首单曲《不可救药的天真》,自己判断一下吧。
6. Chris Stapleton, TBA
克里斯•斯特普尔顿的未知专辑
Release date: May 5
发行日期:5月5日
Label: Mercury Nashville
厂牌:水星纳什维尔
Why we're excited: There's not a lot of information out there about the follow-up to 38-year-old country singer Chris Stapleton's Grammy-winning debut -- no title, no single, no album cover -- but it's hard to imagine the bearded troubadour is having trouble penning new tales of everyman heroes.
关注理由:38岁的乡村歌手克里斯•斯特普尔顿的首张专辑获得了格莱美大奖,但接下来的这张唱片我们却知之甚少——没有题目,没有单曲,没有专辑封面,但是很难想象这位大胡子民谣歌手会在为平民英雄写歌谣时遇到什么麻烦。
7. PWR BTTM, Pageant
“PWR BTTM”组合的专辑《盛会》
Release date: May 12
发行日期:5月12日
Label: Polyvinyl
厂牌:乙烯
Why we're excited: This New York-based duo doesn't mess around, producing joyful, rambunctious punk rock with the power to make teenagers lose their shit at basement shows.
关注理由:这个纽约二人组合从来不会随便创作一些欢快、喧闹的朋克滚石乐让年轻人在地下室表演中失去自我。
8. Girlpool, Powerplant
“女孩之池”组合的专辑《动力装置》
Release date: May 12
发行日期:5月12日
Label: Anti-
厂牌:反对——
Why we're excited: On 2015's Before the World Was Big, Cleo Tucker and Harmony Tividad mined a limited sound -- just guitar, bass, and vocals -- to great effect. The duo returns on this new record to explore peculiar song structures, playful rhythms, and moments of emotional vulnerability. They're also bringing something extra: drums!
关注理由:在2015年的专辑《世界变大之前》,克莉欧•塔克尔和赫梅尼•蒂维达德用有限的乐音——只有吉它、贝斯和嗓音——创造出了惊人的音效。这支二人组长合重新回来录制这张新专辑,探索特别的曲式、有趣的旋律和情感脆弱的瞬间。她们还另外带来了一样东西:鼓!
9. Drake, More Life
德雷克的专辑《更好的生活》
Release date: TBA
发行日期:未知
Label: Young Money Entertainment
厂牌:“年轻之财”娱乐公司
Why we're excited: Despite being a world-famous mega-celebrity, Drake is a mercurial figure. There's a reason to be excited about More Life: Recently Drake has been at his best in nimble-mixtape and SoundCloud-surprise modes.
关注理由:尽管德雷克是世界闻名的巨星,但他风格多变。关注专辑《更好的生活》是有理由的:最近他很擅长巧妙集锦和SoundCloud社区的惊喜模式。
10. Charli XCX, TBA
查莉XCX的未知专辑
Release date: May
发行日期:5月
Label: Atlantic
厂牌:大西洋
Why we're excited: Like Drake, there are few guarantees about Charli XCX's upcoming record. But whenever it arrives, we'll be ready with the bubbly.
关注理由:跟德雷克一样,我们也不能为查莉XCX将要发行的唱片打包票。但是不管它怎么样,我们都准备好香槟酒拭目以待了。
