简介:
这个1981年出生的男生和大多数80年代长大的孩子们一样,从小在父母的点播下学习钢琴,14岁的时候听凭自己的选择开始弹吉他。他的音乐深受Jeff Buckley, Radiohead和Dave Matthews的影响,因此你有理由相信--作为一个唱作人,他对音乐透彻、冷静的驾御。
专辑介绍:
这个歌手在国内似乎没有什么名气,不过歌是十分好听的。为使更多的朋友接触喜欢,在下只好又操起差强人意的英语,稍微翻译一下Amazon上的介绍。大家凑或看,喜欢的话就下来听听,我反正是挺喜欢的

This reissue of Howie Day's self-assured debut, originally released independently in 2000, reveals a maturity beyond the young Maine singer-songwriter's age. Mixing gravelly vocals and somber strumming à la Joseph Arthur with the soaring power of Remy Zero and Dave Matthews Band and a touch of Radiohead fervor, Day's music is nonthreatening but far from wimpy. "She Says" combines plaintive acoustic guitar and bursts of vocal anguish, and the whispery "Disco" has dreamlike orchestras and a world-weary tone, while the lovely "Kristina" floats with a spare but intricate melody. Yet Day's maudlin tales of heartbreak have backbone--"Sorry So Sorry" ends in guitar-tossed turbulence, while "Everything Else" has biting riffs, and "More You Understand" builds to a crashing crescendo. Indeed, these injections of passion are what make Australia so exciting. While his influences are far from original, Day's execution is wholly his own. Australia brims with a life-or-death emotional urgency that's devoid of cynicism and steeped in the intensity of youth. --Annie Zaleski
这张原本于2000年独立发行的Howie Day充满自信的处女大碟的重新发行展示了超越这个年轻的缅因州唱作者年龄的成熟。Mixing gravelly vocals and somber strumming à la Joseph Arthur with the soaring power of Remy Zero and Dave Matthews Band and a touch of Radiohead fervor(这句就是指混合了不同音乐人的一些风格,不太好翻译),Day的音乐并不咄咄逼人,但也绝非懦弱没有骨气。“She Says”结合了悲伤的原声吉他和bursts of vocal anguish(大概就是那种痛苦的呐喊式歌唱,不会翻);而“Disco”则拥有梦一样朦胧的管弦乐声和厌世的、疲倦又萎靡的音调;同时,可爱的“Kristina”容纳了spare(不知如何解释好)但又复杂的曲调。尽管Day的感伤的、令人心碎的故事是主要部分——“Sorry So Sorry”却以狂暴喧嚣的摇摆吉他作为结尾,而“Everything Else”是不停的嘲讽(这个不知翻得对不对),“More You Understand”则是声音渐增的猛烈撞击。确实,正是这些热情的注入使得Australia这张专辑如此令人兴奋。而他的影响也远远超越了Day自己完成的原版。Australia brims with a life-or-death emotional urgency that's devoid of cynicism and steeped in the intensity of youth(这句明显是单词都懂,就是不太明白啥意思,唉~)
