歲月鴻溝

《歲月鴻溝》是惘聞樂隊的第九張唱片，錄制於2016年1月初，同年發行。這是惘聞第壹次同制作人Wouter Vlaminck, Lode Vlaminck兄弟合作的唱片，是壹張充滿凝重氛圍和織感的唱片。 《歲月鴻溝》在arcticdrones評論網站上獲得了8.9的高分；入選arcticdrones上評選的Post-Rock Listeners’ Choice ：the 50 Best Releases of 2016，50 Favorite Albums of 2016； 成為beehype評選的Best Albums of 2016中的第壹名；也同時被that’s推薦為The 10 Best Albums from Mainland China in 2016。 在中國，樂隊因此張專輯獲得：2016第六屆阿比鹿音樂獎最受歡迎搖滾音樂人，2016第八屆中國搖滾迷笛獎 年度最佳搖滾樂器演奏等多項殊榮。 --- 2016年1月初，差不多是壹年中最冷的時候，惘聞在大連完成了樂隊第九張唱片的錄制，與以往不同，我們第壹次找來了Wouter和Lode兄弟倆作為唱片的制作人。這張唱片總共收錄了6首長曲和1首錄自於廢棄廠房中的人聲作品，它們都是在過去的三年中創作的，最終的錄音在原始創作的基礎上改動了不少，樂隊希望在壹個作品中表述更多的內容和情緒，做更多的線索和矛盾沖突，而制作人則希望把壹切脈絡梳理的更清晰，雙方的這種拉扯達到了最終的某種平衡結果。對惘聞而言，它是我們認知和探索自身和外在世界的又壹次嘗試。 過去的幾年，感覺時間軸繃上了彈簧，加速度使人充滿了莫名的興奮和窒息感。才剛習慣的十年壹代的講法也已經過時，眼前的生活如速度失控的幻燈片般閃爍變幻。移動網絡似乎把人與人拉得很近，其實是改變了我們的存在方式，讓今天的“關系”成為壹堆堆堅硬的數據模塊, 不滅不凈，無法交融，妳甚至不能選擇不參與其中，隨之深深墜入時空堆積過載又不斷撕裂的縫隙中。 越過歲月鴻溝就是Sweet Home, Go了？是的，不過是另壹個歲月鴻溝，英語的。音樂總是或輕或重，但它從來不是精神糖果或者情緒解藥，但我總是幻想著它那強大的氣流能讓時間暫停，把妳我從冰冷的深淵噴到九霄雲外，然後摔到粉身碎骨。 惘聞 2016年4月11日於大連 <Sweet Home, Go!> is the 9th album of Wang Wen, recorded around January 2016. It was the first time Wang Wen cooperate with the producers, Wouter Vlaminck and Lode Vlaminck brothers. <Sweet Home, Go!> is an epic, dark ambient album with much textures.

Go!>, Wang Wen won “Most Popular Rock Musician of 2016” by Abbey Music Award and “Best Rock Music Instrument Play of 2016” by Midi Music Award. --- Early January 2016, during the coldest time of the year, Wang Wen completed the 9th studio album in Dalian, China. What was different about this album is that it was the first time we got Wouter and Lode to produce a record for us. For this album we recorded 6 long songs and an a cappella track recorded in an abandoned factory.All these songs were created within the last 3 years, but went through the ringer of change during the recording process. During recording an album, a band wants their music to be full of expression and feeling and to have the freedom to explore new threads, contradictions and conflicts. Producers on the other hand are looking to make the sequence of music more clear. In the end, the two sides of the spectrum strike a balance and complement each other. To Wang Wen, this was another experience in our journey to further understand and explore ourselves and the outside world.  Over the last few years, it feels like time had been spinning out of control. As time speeds by it makes people feel an indescribable excitement but also a feeling of suffocation. Just as we become used to the ways of today, things change in a flash. The Internet has seemingly brought people closer together. Actually it's changed our existence by taking our "relationships" and turning them into rigid blocks of data, unable to blend into each other and therefore plunging us into the many deep cracks of space and time.  Is Sweet Home, Go about surpassing the gulf of time? Yes, but a different kind of gulf. English. Music is always light and heavy, but it should never just be a quick fix of energy or a mood enhancer. I'm always imagining, what if the powerful flow of music could stop time and shoot us us out of this cold abyss into the heavenly skies above, then drop us to our deaths.  Wang Wen, Dalian. 4.11.2016
