Bandcamp Daily 文章 For Fans Of: Lush http://t.cn/A6WREyuq
今年 Lush 几张专辑 remaster & 再版，作者 Jon Dale 提到 Lush 自己的作品、相关乐队、同一场景的 Pale Saints 和各种后辈，除了几次被编辑们关注到的日本厂牌 galaxy train，这次甚至说起了厦门乐队 @The_White_Tulips ！

“中国乐队 The White Tulips 显然也沉浸于 shoegaze 美学，有着昏沉迷蒙的吉他和轻柔歌声——不过，除此之外，ta 们音乐中还有对各种 pop 流派的精准把握。例如，你可以在 Firework 的主歌部分听到 bossa nova 节奏，Lost Emotion 中有属于上世纪女子乐队的 stomp 之声（形容这种鼓的模式）。而当 ta 们回到这种吉他音乐流派的典型声音，比如 Summertime! 这首，ta 们运用噪音的方式并不简单——你能听见 ta 们（对吉他声音）的思考，但这声音中又有一种随心所欲的洒脱之感。”

Chinese group The White Tulips have clearly drunk deeply from shoegaze as an aesthetic—it’s clear in the woozy, sea-sick guitars and the gently murmured vocals—but behind that, there’s a canny grasp of the power of pop in its myriad forms. You can hear that spirit in the bossa nova rhythm that anchors the verses of “Firework,” and the girl-group stomp that’s core to “Lost Emotion.” Even when they fall back on the typical waves of guitar bliss that came to characterize the genre, as on “Summertime!” there’s something more to the way they apply the noise—it’s done thoughtfully, but without losing a sense of brash abandon and playfulness.
