Midaircondo

也许是电子乐坛的女强人向来刚硬的缘故，想不到她们竟是如此柔弱而雅气。没有激进电流的横行，全章都是低语呢喃，小打闹的Indie型格叮咚声响。开头三曲意外连连：有人吹北欧孤寂气势的萨克斯风喔，“Could You Please Stop”有爵士低音线串联整体，而“Serenade”又是长笛伴钢琴的动听歌曲……接下来其他曲目我不愿多说了。部分评论有个小讨论点——Midaircondo是现场即兴型的乐队，换句话说则是她们的现场表演会更具可听性（何况她们仨也负责自己的视觉展示）。 The Swedish duo Midaircondo are finally back with the follow-up to their celebrated debut album Shopping For Images [type records, 2005], which received overwhelming reactions from both critics and audiences worldwide. The group has toured internationally ever since. Midaircondo, renowned for their extraordinary live performances of imaginative music fused with experimental visuals, create dreamy and evocative soundscapes that leave no one untouched. The new album Curtain Call is the first release by Midaircondo's own label Twin Seed Recordings. On Curtain Call, Midaircondo’s wonderfully original improvisation skills and innovative composing have been developed into a new and more solemn sound. Classical instruments and delicate deliveries of poetic lyrics marry in Midaircondo’s electronic world. Quirky field recordings from the band’s travels around the world create backdrops of sounds that invite you to enter into Midaircondo’s unique musical sphere. Besides guest appearance by Ebbot Lundberg from The Soundtrack of Our Lives, Midaircondo collaborates with a number of other musicians on Curtain Call – playing strings, drums, percussion and double bass. Curtain Call is produced by Midaircondo, mixed by Christoffer Berg and mastered by Andreas Tilliander. Additional mixes have been made by Paul Bothén and Johan Forsman.
