Exlovers歌手简介:
缓缓轻盈的女声,而来自伦敦的Exlovers组建于2008年的Exlovers早期受Elliot Smith影响,音乐风格大多是比较安静,偏民谣的曲风,而后期的转型也很成功,09年作为Pete Doherty的暖场嘉宾,被著名独立音乐制作人Stephen Street (Blur, The Smiths, Pete Doherty)相中,开启了光明的音乐道路,很多人认为喜欢加拿大独立摇滚乐队Stars的人一定同样会亲睐Exlovers,也许有点偏颇,但事实两支乐队我都喜欢。而略带迷幻独立流行的音乐氛围,以及若隐若现的电吉他背景与主音微弱的吐音配合的相当巧妙。或许是因为乐队名字的原因,专辑表现的情感显得较为失落,逝去的爱情和对未来的迷茫。
Assembled in London, meeting through mutual friends exlovers have wasted no time since forming in early 2008. Their early sound was a quiet, folkish affair playing songs such as ‘The Ruins’ and ‘S.O.F’ previously written by Peter . exlovers quickly drew upon their early 90’s American and UK indie influences (The Cure/Teenage Fan Club/My Bloody Valentine/Elliot Smith), collectively writing to combine sweetly sombre lyrical musings with lo-fi guitars, ever-developing boy-girl harmonies and subtle instrumental discord to stunning effect. After completing several UK tours with the likes of Golden Silvers, Emmy the Great, and Pete and the Pirates, exlovers drew the attention of legendary indie producer Stephen Street (Blur, The Smiths, Pete Doherty) after watching the band supporting Pete Doherty on the ‘09 NME Awards Tour. Having released limited edition 7” singles ‘Just a Silhouette’ (Chess Club) and ‘Photobooth/Weightless’ (Young & Lost Club double A-side), both of which were widely lauded and proved mainstays at XFM, Radio 1 and 6Music, Street offered his services to record the forthcoming 5 track E.P. entitled ‘You Forget So Easily’. ‘You Forget So Easily’ is released on 14th September through Chess Club Records. exlovers are to tour France in October on the InRocks tour with Peter Bjorn and John, as well as a co-headline UK tour with Kurran and the Wolfnotes.
