1) It's the tenth anniversary of "Young Team" which saw the release of the
deluxe edition. What's it like re-visiting this album which introduced your
music to many fans and created a whole generation of post-rock bands.
Stuart: It was quite strange as i hadn't listened to the record in a very
long time. I was quite surprised how good it sounded though,
especially as i remember we were disappointed in the record at the time.
1) 这是 Young Team 的十周年纪念,也看到了豪华版的发行。
而重新聆听这张把你们的音乐介绍给乐迷,以及造成了整个世代後摇乐团的萌芽的专辑
,是怎麽样的感觉呢?
S: 这是很奇怪的感觉,当我并没有花很多时间在听这张专辑。
但我的确非常惊讶它竟然听起来如此的好,
特别是当我还记得刚开始我们对这张专辑是失望的。
2) For the "Hawk is Howling", you reunited with "Young Team" producer,
Andy Miller. How did he contribute to the album? Was it a return to an earlier
sound or something different. I love the heavy sound on "Batcat.
Stuart: "We recorded with Andy for two reasons. !: because we enjoyed working
with him on New Paths To Helicon and our old singles and 2: because we thought
he has been doing great work recently with bands like De rosa who we like.
2) 关於 Hawk is Howling,你们与 Young Team 制作人 Andy Miller 重新合作。
他对这张专辑有什麽贡献? 它回归成早期的声音或是已经不同?
我喜欢在 Batcat 的那种狂暴的声音。
S: 基於两个原因我们和 Andy 合作。 1: 因为早前我们与他在 New Paths To Helicon
以及一些旧单曲的合作非常愉快。 2: 我们认为一直以来他在这方面的工作作的非常成功
,像是与一个我们也喜欢的团 De rosa 合作。
3) I read the unedited Pitchfork review posted on your website, and in
hindsight, do you regret naming the first track of the album,
"I'm Jim Morrison, I'm Dead"? I know you've made references to other rock
icons in the past, such as an Iggy Pop interview on the song "Punk Rock.
Stuart: "Well i'm sorry to tell you that that Pitchfork review was a joke!
We don't have any regrets about that song title at all!
3) 我看到了一篇在你们网站发表未编辑的Pitckfork评论,你们是否在事後後悔
把新专辑的第一首歌命名为"I'm Jim Morrison, I'm Dead"?
我知道你们曾经提及其他的摇滚乐偶像,像是 Iggy Pop 的采访在"Punk Rock"里。
S: 恩!我很遗憾的要告诉你那篇采访是个笑话。
我们对那件事一点也不觉得後悔。
4) Your music demands a certain degree of attention from listeners.
For example, I imagine most people listen to the "Hawk is Howling" in its
entirety with album tracks complementing and building upon each other.
Do you think of this when you are recording or is it something that just
happens when you put the whole album together?
Stuart: Its something that we definitely consider when we are sequencing
the songs but not while we are recording. I definitely think of an album as
something that should be listed to in one sitting (or standing!).
4) 聆听你们的音乐需要乐迷某种程度的专注力。举例来说,我想像大部分乐迷
聆听整张 Hawk is Howling 的完整性,而每首歌都是环环相扣的。
当你们在录音的时候有考虑到这点或者是当你们要完成整张专辑时才会想到?
S: 这是当我们在排序曲目的时候绝对会考虑到的事情,但不是当我们在录音的时候。
我绝对认为专辑的曲目是应该被安排的。
5) Do you enjoy playing the new songs on tour, I've seen recent set lists
and just about half of the show is new material. Is this pretty standard
when you're on tour. And do you still get a kick out of old classics which
the fans love?
Stuart: I have really enjoyed playing the songs from the new record
especially Batcat and Thank You Space Expert. Its good to play old songs too
though, we usually play a few songs from each record we've released.
5) 你们喜欢表演时演奏新歌吗? 我已看过最近的歌单,大概只有一半的歌是新的。
这是表演时的标准吗? 还有你们依然喜欢一些乐迷爱的经典曲吗?
S: 我非常喜欢表演新歌,像是 Batcat 和 Thank You Space Expert。
但是表演旧歌一样令人开心,我们通常会从每张专辑中挑几首歌来表演。
6) Are you influenced by other bands and the new sounds they are creating.
For instance, I heard that John Cummings recorded Fuck Buttons last album,
Street Horrrsing, which is sort of mind blowing. Also, I've heard you are big
fans of Japanese bands such as Mono and Envy.
Stuart: Of course we are influenced by new music. We have a record label
Rock Action records and we put out new bands music al the time on our label.
We release the Envy records in europe on our label.
6) 你们有被其他的乐团以及他们所产生的新声音影响吗? 像是我听说 John Cummings
录了 Fuck Button 上一张锐不可挡的专辑,Street Horrrsing。
我也听说你们是一些日本乐团的头号乐迷,像是 Mono 跟 Envy。
S: 当然我们会受新音乐影响。我们有一个唱片厂牌 Rock Action,
而我们也一直在推广新的音乐。我们用我们厂牌发行了 Envy 的专辑到欧洲去。
