World's End Girlfriend - Hurtbreak Wonderland

World's End Girlfriend - 一個叫人期待不已的名字，在去年與 Mono 合作推出 《Palmless Prayer》以後，今次帶給大家的是依然 full of wonder 的《hurtbreak wonderland》。與上一張個人大碟《the lie lay land》一般，這也是一張一按著 CD player 就會一頭裁進去被他的灰黑又華麗的音樂世界包圍著的專輯。強烈的電影感貫穿著整張專輯，時而輕快，時而深沉，當你正在被優美動人的弦 樂琴聲打動著之際，忽然破裂失控的電結他與敲擊不由分說給你一個當頭棒喝，彷彿在告訴你現實的殘 酷。比起前作《the lie lay land》，這一張《hurtbreak wonderland》多了些動人旋律，卻因為這些美，更顯出另一面灰黑世界的深沉與分裂。看著 CD 封面的畫(冨谷悦子Fukaya Etsuko作品)， 突然覺得它與音樂實在同出一徹：純白的少女走進到 處佈滿奇異生物的黑白奇幻世界。強烈推薦於晚上獨自聆聽，並且一定要順序不能間斷，不過小心掉進奇幻世界出不來！(相關文字介紹：dosss / 袁智聰 / brandon)

"真是瘋狂的傢伙！" 第一次聽完時我自己在心裡這麼嘀咕著，同時也被這樣形態的表現方式震懾到久久無法回魂...。他們的創作聽起來即興自由，樂器的編制卻又是如此華麗而龐大，他們只管走自己的路，聽不出來有任何規矩能約束的了他們，若這是一部電影，想必是一部超現實夢幻奇異古典科幻內心戲！World's End Girlfriend - Hurtbreak Wonderland絕對是今年後搖作品中的經典好片！
