...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
Album title: Source Codes & Tags
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead(或稱Trail of Dead)來自德州,跟同儕Explosions in the Sky都有著相當特別而又讓人馬上印象深刻的團名。也證明了德州不只有小布希或Enron,還有著生機蓬勃完全不輸紐約或芝加哥的樂團發展園地。這個四人組合說舊不舊說新不新於1994年就成立,屆今只發行過三張錄音室專輯卻都有相當好的評價。
Source Codes & Tags是他們繼99年的Madonna後在主流唱片公司Interscope發行的首張唱片,在今年各大主流音樂媒體裡大放異彩,聲勢直追去年的媒體寵兒The Strokes。有樂評把AYWKUBTTOD歸類為深受hardcore影響的emo樂風,其實他們就是師承Dinosaur Jr.、Fugazi那一派吉他反饋噪音主導而又重視旋律結構的龐克搖滾。強弱對比起伏強烈的開場曲 "It Was There I Saw You" 馬上可以吸引聽眾注意; "Another Morning Stoner" 、 "Relative Ways" 在旋律美感與狂野快感中取得平衡。標題曲、"Boudelaire"可以享受到暴虐吉他演奏與豪放嗓音持續衝擊耳膜。真不愧是今年最受矚目的另類新貴,希望他們好好加油不要被突如其來盛名沖昏了頭。
