专辑简介
"Looking for Landmarks" is an album of delicious sensuality and ear-expanding musical eclecticism from the Seattle-based modern-pop collective Two Loons for Tea (led by Sarah Scott [vocals & lyrics] and Jonathan Kochmer [guitars, composition & production]).
From the voluptuous rhythms of "Blood for Sugar" and "She's Not Worth the Worry," to the hip-thrusting funk-rock of "Shape of Strange" and the sage-scented melodies of "Sad Diamonds," "Looking for Landmarks" is an enigmatic pop masterwork that establishes Two Loons For Tea as one of contemporary pop's most passionate and adventurous new groups.
"Looking for Landmarks" features performances by some of the finest musicians and technicians of our time, including producer Eric Rosse (Tori Amos); drummer Matt Chamberlain (Garbage, Fiona Apple, Elton John, Macy Gray); engineer Kevin Killen (Elvis Costello, U2, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush); Warr guitarist Trey Gunn (King Crimson, David Sylvian); bassist Brad Houser (Edie Brickell, John Doe, Critters Buggin); bassist Paul Bushnell (Ednaswap); percussionist Mike Dillon (MC 900 Foot Jesus, Pigface, Critters Buggin); violinist Eyvind Kang (Bill Frissell, Mr. Bungle) and soundscapist Jeff Greinke (Land).
The result of all this virtuosic firepower is a sprawling album that honors no musical or lyrical boundaries. In Scott's and Kochmer's fanciful creative world, loose-limbed R&B rhythms mingle with bluesy vocals, supple jazz-rock melodies, ethereal guitars and lyrics that possess the haunting allegorical power of dreams. With its poetic allusions and musical eclecticism, "Looking for Landmarks" accurately captures the exquisite strangeness of our fast-changing age.
