Apricot Records的收获:
先说THE CAKEHEADS
这是个三人的TEAM,ONE LADY AND TWO MEN FROM MUNICH,组团后他们出没于慕尼黑,所以签给了德国一个LABEL:Apricot Records,至于音乐风格嘛,用“仍在建设中”,会比较合适.他们是:Axel Koch(Vocals、guitars、keyboards)、Martin Pr tzel(drums、programming、keyboards)Mariko Okuyama-Koch(Vocals).
Axel Koch1996年在日本京都学习,为期一年,和他的搭档,一个出色的鼓手Martin Pr tzel一起几乎把日本晃了个遍,回到德国后,他们组了一个五人团叫C.L.A.R.K.,这是一个比较以团体风格为基础的团,而且蛮HEAVY的,也签给了Apricot Records,这时的Axel Koch和Martin Pr tzel对80年代的音乐风格相当感兴趣,他们决定进行另一次尝试,这个决定成全了我们的耳朵,THE CAKEHEADS诞生了,CAKEHEADS则源于Axel Koch写的“CAKEHEADS”。
在听过他们的作品后,你会发现,对80年代的倾向其实表现在EASY LISTENING上,对acoustic的偏向,比起同厂牌的C.L.A.R.K,如果耳朵不背叛心的话,我绝对更吃CAKEHEADS这套。
下面是他们官网的一段BAND BIO,很有趣哦!
Axel, Martin and Mariko are standing on the bridge and talking about their new album. Along comes Sandy, cute little sister of Windy.
Sandy is curious about it. A new album? What kind of music? Axel says: It‘s pop music. Sandy is dazzled. What kind of pop music?
Martin says: Electro pop. Again Sandy is surprised. Electro pop? Mariko says: Yes, but it’s also acoustic and with a touch of soul music. Sandy is confused.
You mean: ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC-SOUL-POP-MUSIC?
Yes!!! the “Cakeheads” shout. Come with us. We show you.
And they take her to“Our favourite place”。
“Our favourite place”就是他们的专辑,目前仅有的,我相信这只是个开始,而且这个头开得漂亮!

就说 Inside Your Dream,他们自己写的这首的COPYWRIGHT。
the wish to take a trip into the mind of the one you love.
To imagine the world of dreams and imagination of another person is simply impossible. Strange, isn't it?
图是Inside Your Dream的窗口图解,MAIN VOCAL是Axel,有点早前LITTLE WINGS的味道,我想赞的是编曲和DRUM的表现,鼓点很节制,但很有味道。总体感觉,以在德国的ELECTRO氛围,CAKEHEADS根本就不“电”,应该说是以ACOUSTIC的和SOUL的为主,尤其是Inside Your Dream。PS:有时我会觉得他们的Inside Your Dream根本没有做混音,听起来似乎有点不可思议,可是,真的有未经混音的感觉诶!
然后是HEAVY BLINKERS,也不错,加拿大的真的蛮厉害诶!留到明天。
