Above The City

时隔三年，瑞典独立流行双人组Club 8的第八张专辑诞生。从最早的Sarah厂牌，C86和Twee Pop的盛行发展到Indie Pop的全面流行，来自瑞典的Labrador厂牌无疑在众多清新浪潮中自成一派，Club 8 01年的同名专辑便发行于此，也是旗下最出名的乐队。 新专辑《Above The City》的第一主打《Kill Kill Kill》是一首有关动物保护的创作，其灵感来自于McCarthy的《Kill Kill Kill Kill》。纵观整张专辑，也加入了更多的电子成分，对于乐迷来说是个不小的转变。但清澈飘逸的女声不变，独立的DIY精神不变，Club 8的音乐总是让人沉溺于美好的青葱岁月，这也许是他们成立近20年却经久不衰的原因。(By Xiami) Swedish phenomenon Club 8 is an unpredictable duo hailing from a small village in the south of Sweden.
