Keren Ann & Mondialito

这个这个，有些难为情了，其实是从前写的一篇介绍帖子。只是看了riuka姐姐的新站上介绍了Keren，不由自主的又翻起了旧文……

------------------------传说中的分割线---------------------

Keren Ann现在几乎是所有自以为小资或有品的文青（文艺青年，不带褒贬）的最爱之一，当然也没人愿意去深究是这种喜好是真是假是深是浅，反正，她就突然间在中国这个遥远的国度开始被人传颂。看看豆瓣，看看VC，甚至天涯，甚至连卖打口碟的叔叔阿姨大哥大姐们都诧异：来问Keren Ann的人突然多了起来，于是他们就郁闷就后悔就……

法国是无数小资和文青的梦想，法语寄托了他们的无限幻想。Ann的声音很清澈，加上Benjamin Biolay的金牌制作，就算不明白歌词，但是脑中也会浮现出一幅极美的画面：孤傲的美丽女子，在昏暗的灯下，低声吟唱，咖啡的香气在氤氲，一丝暖暖的暧昧。这是听《La Disparition》时的感想。这是她的第二张大碟。第一张大碟，《La Biographie de Luka Philipsen》可就没这么讨巧了，有些生硬的犹太和俄国传说，过分浓重的Chanson味，让许多才接触的人有些不知所措，当然，多听细听也将会发现是极好的一张专辑。总的来说，《La Disparition》是最优秀的一张，如水的旋律，轻灵的嗓音，淡淡的感伤，不着迷都难。《Not Going Anywhere》，其实就是《La Disparition》的英文版。很显然，在fans心中，英语的地位是远不如法语的。没什么好说。《Nolita》，更加自我的一张专辑。继续低声絮语，编曲更加奢靡更加颓废，搭上一贯延续的清澈嗓音，真的很难抑制自己关于那个谐音Lolita的联想。最后一支，《Song of Alice》，那个小小的故事，Biolay用极其平静的声音缓缓讲述，只有简单的几个拨弦伴奏，和Ann的和声，可是却极其震撼，死亡和绝望的味道。

She was the… the patron saint of 23rd street. She was around for alot of that, she … Wandering around the hotel hallways in the middle ofthe night, carrying a little yellow cardboard box. And she inhabitedthe place like a butterfly or … There was this kind of sadness abouther and a… and she did have this light. And nobody ever knew her realname.
　　　　
There was times I’d see her coming down that street, steppingthrough broken bottles and gum, and carrying her shoes, barefoot.People said she was crazy but I don’t know.
　　
About six months before the fire there was … there was a bigblackout. Famous, summer blackout. She walked around through the hallsgiving everyone candles. Scared everybody away in the end.
　　　　
Then when the fire happened, you know, everybody assumed it washer. There had been fires in the halls that year, little ones. I dunnoif it was fair or not but everybody blamed her for it.
　　　　
And then one day she… she just vanished. And later they… said her name was Alice. All that time I never knew her name.

接下来是另一个主角了，Mondialito，一个二人组合。一个来自日本的法语组合。也是低声的絮语，也是空灵得几乎透明得女声。要命，我对这样的声音防御为零。这个组合其实还挺陌生，不是很了解他们，只听过他们的两张Mini，《Mondialito》和《avant la pluie》，第一反应是就是惊呼，Keren Ann。然而不是，他们就是Mondialito，他们的编曲更加清新，不像Ann的那样幽暗晦涩。想想，其实也很正常，日本是岛国，在海滩上迎风听浪，一些细碎的情绪就产生了，比起法国的昏暗的咖啡馆来，更加让人放松吧。
