专辑介绍：
迷幻民谣天团Charalambides乐队2011最新专辑，这个双人团体中两名各自发展的成员Tom Carter和Christina Carter，都是美国老牌实验厂牌Kranky的签约艺人，而Charalambides这个团体诞生至今也已经有逾10年的历史，算得上是Kranky旗下的殿堂级人马。在他们简约的迷幻音乐中可以清晰地辨认出每样乐器的位置，但是却很难辨认出那一腔暧昧迷离的情绪。Charalambides依然坚持迷幻民谣的风格，非常慵懒而又诡异的调子，女声空灵而飘渺的演唱更扩大了氛围。
女主唱Christina Carter的歌声有很强的穿透力，高音域的悠扬与幽怨足以割破器乐的重重铺垫，独自成为整个凄清氛围的营造者，他们的音乐总是不安而充满恐惧的，在躁动之中描绘失真的世界，里面有无处可去的游魂，有漫无边际的原野黑夜，也有一些细枝末节的生活点滴，但都是颓败而朦胧的，抽象之中漫游着一股心有不甘的力量，在近似呻吟的女声中挣脱出种种生存的痛苦与虚假。
这不是一张适合夜晚一个人听的作品，它无法为你带来好心情，反而使你莫名的焦虑，但是在迷幻民谣的领域它却是这支独树一帜的乐团的精髓体现，这种迷茫与惊恐不过也是根植在你与我生命里的一朵黑色的花。
2011 release. Remaining as the core duo of Christina and Tom Carter, Charalambides celebrate their 20th year of existence with Exile, an album imbued with the full historical spectrum of American Folk and Blues, making it a tapestry of suppliant inno.
A Charalambides album is always an event in our book, and this new one on Kranky is superb stuff, arguably taking their fizzy, fuzzy psychedelic pop and drone-folk sound to a whole new level. It's mad to think that Tom and Christina Carter have been making music together for 20 years now, but it shows in the coherence of Exile, their first LP since 2007's Likeness. It begins cautiously, with the uber-minimal twanger 'Autumn Leaves', like Richard Chartier scoring a spaghetti western, but things open up on 'Desecrated', Christina's vocals taking charge as Tom fires molten guitar licks across her bows. Some of the most immediate and accessible fare in the Charalambides catalogue can be found on this record: the desert-dried 'Words Inside' is a highlight, reminding us a little of that ace Weyes Blood LP on Not Not Fun from earlier this year, as is the strung-out country-soul of 'Immovable', while 'Before You Go' builds those guitar drones to a truly symphonic climax. Following the epic drift-psych work-out of 'Into The Earth', the album ends how it began, with two lengthy, unbelievably sparse pieces, though this time lifted by the introduction of Christina's cautioning, eldritch lyrics and piano taking a dominant role over guitar. A strong showing from one of the most reliably beguiling outfits in the US underground; if you're a fan of their work then you'll have already clicked Buy, if you're new to 'em then this is a terrific place to start.
