FUNR36的部落格

趁現在人氣很高漲的時候
趕緊介紹好音樂給大家
希望我聽的一些冷門好音樂團可以讓更多人注意到

我喜歡搖滾樂
No Fine正是這類討我喜的搖滾樂
中規中矩
不沉悶也不吵鬧
主唱的咬字有個特別的腔調
特別是我很喜歡No Fine每一段獨奏時吉他的處理

Remotely Together→這張專輯我最愛的一首歌

New Excuses


Sight Behind Lids



--------------------------------------------------------
The fifth release from Massachusetts based Lo Fine is a slow and wandering work by composer and singer Kevin O’Rourke. Relying heavily on the steel pedal and O’Rourke’s soft vocals, Not For Us Two is a straightforward sounding record. No maddening metaphors or tricky hooks clutter the sparse acoustic songs and general melancholy that has become Lo Fine’s trademark.
Not For Us Two acts out in subtle and gentle fashion. O’Rourke sings of a resignation that is prevalent throughout. Songs “New Excuses” and “Remotely Together” deal with longtime efforts now given up. Lyrics like “I’m over trying to tire, and I’m tired of standing” are those of a man truly over it. A combination of Jeff Tweedy and a mournful Zach Rogue, O’Rourke brings genuineness to what could otherwise be contrived or overly standard thematic situations.
Musically, the alt country sound stays right on the map. O’Rourke is backed by a reliable four piece and each part is played out in scripted and deliberate acts. The songs flow like that of a band comfortable within their own skin. Lo Fine utilizes a less-is-more stance to music. No new ground is broken, yet the album is satisfying in an age of over sensory acts cramming every corner with noise. Lo Fine allow the songs to expand at a slow, but natural pace, bringing a warmth and finally a welcomed resolution.
