专辑简介
"Jersey's debut album is exactly the kind of thing an aural magpie would be on the lookout for; shiny, well formed and relatively unassuming. Counting members of The Notwist, Fred is Dead and Iso68 amongst their ranks, Jersey are purveyors of the often overlooked (but always welcome) digitally polished indie. Sharing DNA with The Notwist, New Order and Boy in Static, 'Lok' underpins its breezy exterior with tightly wound guitar pop that literally bristles through pent up momentum. Opening with a gently sighing instrumental ('Southwestern'), Jersey soon move into Alien Transistor territory on 'Boy With a Rifle', wherein multi-harmonised vocals ("Not young enough to be innocent, not old enough to be wise...") are underwired with rainbow coloured, gobstopper electrics. Elsewhere 'Come To Me' is a rougher take on similar territory to MUM's debut, '1435' drafts Lali Puna's Christoph Brander in dressed as Bernard Summer, whilst 'TV Dinner' has a vial of Nick Cave in its Mogwai nodding, monastic outlook. Very good...."

"Hands up, if you’re bored of all the recent retro anankasms and crave for genuine pop music instead! Hands up, if you got time for the sort of music not dealing with elusive trends, music that does not lose itself in a theoretical discourse! Hands up, if you got time for music that wants to tell you stories (and that in case of doubt talks to you even instrumentally)! This one's for you: the debut album of Jersey. Carefully fleshed out, clear arrangements, beautiful voices, relaxed and friendly beats, subtle electronic sounds, fine melodies. A pinch of melancholy and lots of timeless moments warming up chilled hearts. All of that is eternalised in ten songs which do not adhere to the rules of traditional Singer/Songwriter patterns, but search for their very own ways instead. The some times manic, yet healthy attention to detail makes this record an expedition all the way through."

================================
认识Jersey得益于The Wire今年第五期中附送的一张柏林电子厂牌合集，其中20多首歌选自来自柏林的20多个电子厂牌下的乐队，其中就包括Jersey的"28 days".这并不是我第一次接触德国的电子乐，但却是在我听过的德国电子中最为轻快的一张唱片。
其实说Jersey是electronica有些牵强,它的音乐实际上介乎于synth-pop与post-rock之间，完全没有一般electron的冰冰冷，而相反，却是一种冬天午后阳光中不炙热，却暖洋洋的感觉。舒服的主唱音色与大篇幅纯器乐的段落相互错落，不激烈但充满跳跃感，即使使用合成器但却不乏生气，是一张听着它就可以松弛的度过一个下午的闲适小品。
