Indie Cindy专辑介绍
美国摇滚乐队小妖精(Pixies)将于4月发行他们的全新录音室专辑《Indie Cindy》，这张新唱片是他们自1991年的经典专辑《Trompe Le Monde》之后的首张正式大碟。
据了解，这张《Indie Cindy》一共将收录小妖精乐队的十二首新歌。虽然这是他们十三年以来的第一张正式专辑，但对于一直关注他们的铁杆乐迷来说，这其中有多数歌曲已经是非常熟悉了，因为这张新碟是将他们过去一段时间内发行的两张EP唱片和刚刚公布的第三张EP(EP3)收录在了一起。
4月23日，小妖精乐队这张《Indie Cindy》将首先在日本上市，欧洲和世界其他地区的版本将在五天之后发行。这张专辑将通过小妖精乐队自己的厂牌Pixiesmusic发行，PIAS公司将负责销售。目前，乐迷们已经可以购买到小妖精乐队刚刚发行的《EP3》，此外，《Indie Cindy》专辑的双张黑胶版和豪华双CD版本都已经可以开始预订。
新专辑中所有的歌曲由曾与小妖精乐队合作了《Doolittle》和《Bossanova》等经典唱片的吉尔-诺顿(Gil Norton)制作，所有歌曲是在2012年10月份在威尔士的Rockfield录音室制作完成。
小妖精乐队吉他手乔伊-圣地亚哥(Joey Santiago)在接受公告牌杂志采访时说：“新唱片的风格听起来不会像《Doolittle》一样，因为我们一直以来都不想重复以前做过的事。有些乐队很多年之后发行的唱片还和他们的处子作听起来差不多。”
在今年开始的这几个月里，小妖精乐队大部分时间都在巡回演出的途中，他们这次巡演到访了澳大利亚，南美洲，欧洲和日本等地区。今年九月底，他们将回到美国，在洛杉矶举办一场演出。目前，跟随小妖精乐队演出的贝斯手是帕兹-伦谦庭(Paz Lenchantin)，在帕兹之前，小妖精乐队的贝斯手分别是金-沙塔克(Kim Shattuck)和金-迪尔(Kim Deal)。(KFCMAN)
The Pixies have confirmed details of their first studio album since 1991's Trompe le Monde. Released in late April (23 April in Japan, 28 April in UK/Europe and 29 April in North America), Indie Cindy will be made available via the band’s own independent label, Pixiesmusic.
With co-founder Kim Deal having left the band last year, the new album was created by Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering, with help from long-time producer Gil Norton, who worked on Doolittle, Bossanova and Trompe le Monde. Artwork for the LP will be provided by graphic artist Vaughan Oliver who created the artwork for the band’s previous records.
The album was recorded in October 2012 at Rockfield Studios in Wales and includes the band's comeback single Bagboy, and material from EP-1 and EP-2, as well as three new songs from EP-3, which will be available from the band’s website at 4.30pm today.
It has been a turbulent year for the Pixies. After original bassist Kim Deal left the group six days into the recording of the new material, the band hired Kim Shattuck of the Muffs to replace her temporarily. However, her time with the Pixies was cut short. The band are now touring with bassist Paz Lenchantin, a bassist who has played with Zwan, A Perfect Circle and the Entrance Band.
“We started seriously talking about recording new music about four years ago,” Pixies drummer David Lovering explained. “New music seemed like something we just had to do, we just couldn’t continue to go out and tour without anything new. So the talk evolved into writing and recording, and we’re all very happy with the way everything worked out.”
Indie Cindy will be available in a number of different formats from the end of April, including a standard 12-track single-CD; a two-disc, gatefold album pressed on 180-gram vinyl; and an expanded digital download available exclusively through iTunes that includes a bonus 13-track set recorded during the band’s recent North American tour. Indie Cindy also gets a Record Store Day release in the form of a limited edition two-disc, deluxe gatefold release on 19 April.
