Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip

Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip在2007年发布他们的合作歌曲之前，他们一直是伦敦的两个独立的音乐家，他们都来自于英国东部郡——埃塞克斯。Scroobius Pip的名字取自于19世纪英国诗人爱德华·里尔的作品，故意少拼了字母'o'，那篇诗还没有完成，爱德华就去世了，之后又由其他诗人补写完成，直到死后的80多年后才发表。   者是一支新奇而有内涵的乐队，在整体电子化的包装下，可是主唱的说唱方式确实那么不同一般，很重的伦敦腔，伴着英国人特有的病态嗓音和奇妙的音乐编配，时而感觉到的车库味道，这一切都混合在他们的音乐中。乐队虽然只发行了四首歌，可是每首歌都感觉是那么精彩，尤其是他们的首次合作。在发行的四首作品中有许多英伦乐队作品的混音，新歌a letter from god to man和专辑主打The Beat That My Heart Skipped里面都有明显的Radiohead旋律，作为收音机头的死磕来说很是过瘾。   by Jason Lymangrover   Combining poetry, electro beats, and an amalgam of other genres ranging from punk to Motown, the two Westcliff, Essex blokes under the handle Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip are even more difficult to label musically than similar-minded artists LCD Soundsystem and the Streets. Both former graduates from the St. Thomas More High School for Boys,Dan Stephens and David Meads started making songs together in October of 2006 after Meads approached Stephens at a show to remix some spoken word tracks he had made. Well-versed in classic poetry, Meads, a long-bearded performance poet, dubbed himself "Scroobius Pip" (purposely misspelled) after a character in the Edward Lear poem The Scroobious Pip, while Stephens, who had been making electronic music under the name DJ Sac (a more lowbrow reference, stemming from his genitalia), decided to soften his moniker to the more proper Dan Le Sac. The two posted a few songs on a Myspace page and gained massive online hype with "Thou Shalt Always Kill," a quick-witted poetic rant over a glitchy electro beat filled with pop culture and musical references. Despite containing a critical lyrical jab at NME, the British mag named the song Track of the Year that April. After a tour and featured appearances at the Glastonbury Festival, Reading & Leeds Festival, and Bestival, their debut album Angles came out in May of 2008 in the U.K., followed by a statewide release on Strange Famous that September.
