alt-J (∆) - An Awesome Wave

2012水晶音樂獎入圍名單(9/12公佈) 11/1頒獎 (更新:Alt-J果然很無趣的抱得水晶音樂獎)
The Barclaycard Mercury Prize 2012 shortlist

Alt-J - An Awesome Wave
Sam Lee - Ground of its Own
Django Django - Django Django
Field Music - Plumb
Jessie Ware - Devotion
Roller Trio - Roller Trio
Michael Kiwanuka - Home Again
The Maccabees - Given to the Wild
Richard Hawley - Standing at the Sky's Edge
Ben Howard - Every Kingdom
Lianne La Havas - Is Your Love Big Enough
Plan B - Ill Manors

今年的水晶音樂獎大熱門非alt-J (∆)莫屬了，They really made "An Awesome Wave", 豐富有創意的音樂性，令人驚奇的外包裝，內涵的mv，連團名都充滿話題，如果今年最後是其他人得獎，對我而言都算是爆冷門。而The XX今年連入圍都沒有，雖然專輯發的晚，但還是趕得上。我覺得他們是走上另一條路了，新專輯Coexist沒有特別的亮點，就很多面向而言都會被打很低分，卻還是讓我想一聽再聽，因為像我這樣的樂迷是盲目的，我只聽我耳朵的話。


alt-J (∆) - Fitzpleasure



Lyrics:

Tralala, in your snatch fits pleasure, broom-shaped pleasure,
Deep greedy and Googling every corner.
Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N,
Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys soon became Mandela Men.
Tall woman, pull the pylons down
And wrap them around the necks of all the feckless
men that queue to be next.
Steepled fingers, ring leaders, queue jumpers,
rock fist paper scissors, lingered fluffers.
In your hoof lies the heartland
Where we tent for our treasure, pleasure, leisure,
les yeux, it's all in your eyes.
In your snatch fits pleasure, broom-shaped pleasure,
Deep greedy and Googling every corner,
Blended by the lights.


alt-J (∆) - Tessellate



現代版的雅典學院The School of Athens， 不知道裏面的人物有沒有相對性，不然柏拉圖就是黑人，而亞里斯多德是個女的，一個MV搞得這麼內涵

Lyrics:

Bite chunks out of me
You're a shark and I'm swimming
My heart still thumps as I bleed
And all your friends come sniffing.

Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet.
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
My love it's very late.
'Til morning comes, let's tessellate.

Go alone my flower
And keep my whole lovely you.
Wild green stones alone my lover
And keep us on my heart.

Three guns and one goes off, one's empty, one's not quick enough
One burn, one red, one grin
Search the graves while the camera spins.
Chunks of you will sink down to seals
Blubber rich in mourning.
They'll nosh you up, yes they'll nosh the love away, but it's fair to say
You will still haunt me.

Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet.
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
My love it's very late.
'Til morning comes, let's tessellate.


alt-J (∆) - Breezeblocks



Lyrics:

She may contain the urge to run away
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
Citrezene your fever's gripped me again
Never kisses all you ever send are fullstops, la la la la

Do you know where the wilds things go
They go along to take your honey,la la la la
Break down now weep build up breakfast now
Let's eat my love my love love love, la la la la

Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped me but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah

Do you know where the wild things go
They go along to take your honey, la la la la
Break down let's sleep build up breakfast now
Let's eat my love my love love love, la la la la

She bruises coughs she splutters pistol shots
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
She's morphine queen of my vaccine my love my love love love, la la la la

Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped me but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut
And ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah

She may contain the urge to runaway
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
Germaline disinfect the scene my love my love love love
But please don't go I love you so my lovely
Please don't go, please don't go, I love you so, I love you so
Please don't go, please don't go, I love you so, I love you so
Please break my heart, hey

Please don't go, please don't go, I love you so, I love you so
Please don't go, please don't go, I love you so, I love you so
Please break my heart, ah ha

Please don't go, I'll eat you whole
I love you so, I love you, so I love you so
Please don't go I'll eat you whole
I love you so, I love you so, I love you so, I love you so


Alt-J (∆) - Matilda



Lyrics:

This is from
This is from
This is from Matilda

Just like Johnny Flynn said, 'the breath I've taken and the one I must' to go on.
Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who's boss.
My defeat sleeps top to toe with her success.

Oh this is from
This is from
This is from Matilda

And she needs you
This is for Matilda
And she needs you
This is for Matilda

Just like Johnny Flynn said, 'the breath I've taken and the one I must' to go on.
Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who's boss.
My defeat sleeps top to toe with her success.

Oh this is from
This is from
This is from Matilda

And she needs you
This is for Matilda
And she needs you
This is for Matilda
And she needs you
This is for Matilda
((And love is wonder twice
And ))

And she needs you
This is for Matilda
And she needs you
This is for Matilda
And she needs you
This is for Matilda
And she needs you
This is for Matilda

This is for Matilda
This is from Matilda
Matilda
Matilda
Matilda
