| 曾兩度來台演出的Lullatone美日夫妻二人組2006年的新作，較以往更加仰賴Yoshimi Tomida小女生感覺的歌唱，旋律也更加甜美動聽。這一次他們以玩具樂器、夏威夷吉他演奏、輕到完全沒有重量彷彿是在枕頭上敲出的打擊節拍、製作精準、細節豐富的電子聲響，以及童真的想像力，創作了將「可愛」昇華成獨特美學的睡衣派對流行樂，不僅讓人聽著聽著眼睛閉了起來，甚至還不敢張開，因為害怕一睜眼音樂即會像夢境般消散。不得不提的，是「Bedroom Bossa Nova」這首完全kawaii的巴西音樂，以及最後八分鐘長、非常適合穿著睡衣跳迪斯可的「Floating Away」。 Shawn James Seymour自己寫的專輯介紹頗符合他們一貫的「兒童天才」風格：「Imagine if Sigur Ros and Architecture in Helsinki were planning on recording an album together, but the studio they was already double booked! Therefore they decided to record it in on of the member's bedroom on his cassette player. Just then Kahimi Karie called, so they said 'Oh great, why don't you come over too? We'll have a slumber party tonight,' and she said, 'Ok.' They started recording but it was getting late and they were afraid that their neighbors might complain if they were too loud, so they replaced all guitar parts with music boxes. About that time Kahimi showed up and said 'Let's order a pizza, I'm starving.' Next they were eating the pizza they got thirsty, but the only thing they had in the refrigerator was milk. Milk has that thing in it that makes you sleepy, so they all got a little sleepy, and then singer guy from Sigur Ros decided his voice was too high for this project, so he asked Kahimi to sing. She did and it sounded great! And then they all fell asleep. The End.」 |
