甜美歌頌 Cake on Cake『Hymns I Remember』




Cake On Cake always makes a candy indie pop with some soft electronic elements, After two albums on Desolation Records, this Cake On Cake's third album will be release on 1st October on Sleepy Records.The title 「Hymns I Remember」based on swedish hymns, behind the two songs include The Rose & Lovely Is The Earth.


首先再度感謝Cake on Cake遠從瑞典寄來了她個人第三張專輯『Hymns I Remember』；而這回她轉換了音樂廠牌、新專輯交由Sleepy Records發行，聽得出更多樂手與真軍樂器參與的成果。憶起多年前第一次聽見『I See No Star』的怪異奇趣，再至去年默契音樂曾經為我們帶來的『I Guess I Was Daydreaming』專輯，Helena Sundin化名下的Cake on Cake總是能夠帶著一份甜美無邪的童貞，投以最直率的音樂創作、態度來打動人心。往往在Helena Sundin的歌曲裡出現過的，是那些日常生活裡再尋常不過的凡人故事；而熱愛音樂與繪畫的Helena Sundin在發片當歌手之餘的日子裡，也開始當起了老師教授孩子們有關於藝術創作的課程。全新專輯『Hymns I Remember』源自於The Rose、Lovely Is The Earth等兩首歌曲所呈現的概念，她娓娓地道著信仰與聖歌這些瑞典人日常生活下的普世價值，彷彿是令她每次出發的音樂啟蒙。在家人與摯友的協助跨刀之下，這回Cake on Cake的音樂增添了更多真實樂器伴奏的化學作用，卻仍舊不失少女呢喃般的青澀歌詠。




認識Cake on Cake之後，很容易同時愛上她的音樂與藝術創作；曾經問及她有關於兩者間的差異性，Helena Sundin認為玩音樂發片當歌手其實較令人意外，相較畢業於藝術學院背景的她而言，『I See No Star』、『I Guess I Was Daydreaming』的成功的確有些意外。我們很難從Cake on Cake的創作上找出明顯的對照與佐證，即使她經常被歸類於Starlet、Agent Simple等一眾Indie-Pop歌手，卻從沒有人能像她對於音樂與歌唱的直率表現。延續上張專輯『I Guess I Was Daydreaming』的親切與甜美因子，如Come On Rainbow、Francoise...等等曲風，『Hymns I Remember』某種程度上更將Cake on Cake推至一名商業歌手的軌跡；僅管如此，專輯中依舊能聽見許多真誠、讚頌如詩歌般的作品，The Rose、Lovely Is The Earth與Kate's Little Paws比比皆是。此外，Helena Sundin仍能持續地譜出如Sunday Girl、Visitng The Venice Biennale這類充滿明媚瑞典陽光的清新歌謠；在男友貝斯手Andreas Gabrielsson與姊妹Kristina Sundin的合力伴奏下，Helena Sundin也更多地嘗試了Loop的巧妙運用，並搭配上她那招牌式的童稚嗓音與鍵琴伴奏，即始時令已經緩緩地進入了秋天，仍令人有種置身夏日爽朗節氣的錯覺。
