Justin Meldal-Johnsen: electric and upright bass

Those of you who are familiar with the works of Beck know already that you can expect a high songwriter craftmanship from this talented young musician. And they won't be disappointed in Sea Change.

There's no fooling around on this album. Totally basic and cut back, it's a true singer/songwriter album, waaay laid back and always with a slight melancholic touch, reinforced by lots of string arrangements and slide guitar. The name fits perfect, the music feels like an Ocean; huge and relaxing but at the same time kind of sad.

On bass is, as usual, Beck's long-term musical companion Justin Meldal-Johnsen (see also our interview in the August issue). But you'll find no flashy soloing from any of the musicians, no show-off tunes on this brilliant album, just pure songs. The very few more powerful tunes strongly remind one of Curt Cobain's sad and desperate chords and choirs.

我不知道是不是這一兩年失戀、憂鬱悲傷的曲風在英國特別流行
所以一堆英國專輯都呈現出這樣的感覺
雖然這張專輯我有，但老實說我不喜歡
還是比較喜歡Beck以前的專輯

我在這裡Doom Metal 得到蠻多資訊的
因為我又是聽metal居多所以...
這樣的曲風我蠻喜歡的，在death metal暴力轟炸之後，是很舒服的享受
我在聽Coldplay與Suede的新專輯都多少帶有這種抑鬱的感情
Suede裡不是有一首...叫做Lost in TV就是這樣吧

你要不要參考一下我現在簽名檔裡的Anathema，[馬雅]譯作[魔咒]
我目前只有聽過Judgement與Alternative4，據形容與早期的vocal有很大的差異
