Moonlit Sailor是瑞典的后摇新团，他们善于用短小精悍的歌曲书写着属于自己的篇章，2008年至今先后推出了两张专辑《A Footprint of Feelings》和《So Close To Life》，都获得不俗的成绩。

乐队介绍

当后摇音乐正向着长篇史诗或者复杂多元化方向发展之时，来自瑞典的后摇新团Moonlit Sailor却似一位异军突起的骑士，用短小精悍的歌曲书写着属于自己的篇章。他们的出现犹如迎面吹来的一阵清新抚面的微风，为后摇乐迷们带来了无比爽朗的气息。在继2008年的首张专辑《A Footprint of Feelings》之后，Moonlit Sailor于近期发行了第二张正式专辑《So Close To Life》。这张新作依然保持着优美动听的旋律，在情绪方面也依然饱满充沛，整体氛围充满着色彩斑斓阳光明媚的画面感。不过新作缺少了几分前作中爆发点上的惊艳感，整体水准而言稍微略显逊色，但这也是在情理之中的事情，它依然是09年度最动听的后摇作品之一。另外与第一张专辑给人意犾未尽感觉不同的是，新作中的份量增加了不少。

Moonlit Sailor isn’t reinventing the post-rock genre on their sophomore full-length So Close To Life…they are well on their way to perfecting it. This Swedish outfit laces cinematic, rise-and-ripple moments with unpredictable hooks and catchy melodies that effectively hold your hand through the peaks and valleys of emotional connection within their songs. These young lasses know exactly how to snare a listener with layers and mood…slowly, effortlessly, quietly (well, not always quietly) reeling you in. An instrumentally solid, exploratory and dynamically varied album with intense depth, So Close To Life is filled with highly spiritual and epic moments. “The theme or feeling behind this record is life experiences.

The true beauty of music without words is that it can mean something different to each one of us…it’s so close to life…it’s about substance above all else. Each song title was determined based on what the song reminds the band of (for example, this reminds us of…Hope, this reminds us of…Fresh Snow, etc.)” says bass guitarist Markus Rundl. “We were very fortunate to have fantastic artist Alexander Jansson design our cover. We wanted people to feel the music by just looking at the cover, and it achieves just that…it makes one curious and conjures thought. Every song title is represented in some way in the artwork. For example, the anchor refers to the song Hope and the aeroplane refers to Landvetter (an airport near Gothenburg)” adds Rundl. You can’t judge a book (album) by its cover, but you can when the band is MOONLIT SAILOR. For those yearning for a post-rock masterpiece, this is essential listening. This album is that good. It gives you hope.
