◎乘坐音符的马车，穿越古老密林的浪漫冒险 ◎以《Chant Darling》获选2010年Taite音乐奖最佳专辑，纽西兰独立才子James Milne第三张大碟 ◎师法Scott Walker、Serge Gainsbourg宏伟典雅编曲，挥洒极简手法与怀旧流行层次佳作 Bella Union is pleased to announce the release of New Zealand songwriter/producer Lawrence Arabia's third full-length, The Sparrow, on July 24th. The Sparrow is the follow up to the critically-acclaimed and award-winning Chant Darling (2010). Venturing away from the harmony-laden, classic pop production of that release, The Sparrow is a more measured and minimalist work, drawing particularly on the influence of the symphonic late-sixties work of Scott Walker and Serge Gainsbourg. While various ominous words like 'mature' and 'serious' come to mind, there are still strong traces of the witty pop songcraft that have defined the first two Arabia albums, garnering legions of fans worldwide.
