乐队阵容

Athletics

 

Athletics在2008年开始了自己的音乐旅程。他们的歌曲充满了心碎的旋律和忧郁的歌词，游走在焦虑和怀念之间。2010年，他们在Deep Elm Records发行了首张专辑《Why Aren’t I Home？》之后，乐队在新泽西找到了根据地。经过几次巡演，他们开始创作第二张专辑。《Who You Are Is Not  Enough》这张专辑备受乐迷追捧。这张专辑分为五个乐章，讲述了爱情、失去和接受的故事，与全球听众紧密相连。通过In The Cloud和New Noise，他们卖出了数千张黑胶唱片。到了2016年，尽管乐队不再活跃，但创作从未停止。年底，他们自行发行了单曲《When to Run, Where to Hide》，这首歌的发布会也是他们最后一次同台演出。

转眼到了2024年，Athletics在制作新专辑的同时回归了。这次，他们将充分发挥自己标志性特色，我们将有机会在现场体验这支乐队的独特魅力。Athletics的情绪和感觉显而易见，情绪正是他们取得成功的地方。这支乐队不怕表达内心最深处的想法，用音乐直击人心而著称。

从去年开始，New Noise恢复了演出工作，我们收到了很多乐迷的私信，留言中不少乐迷都希望我们把Athletics邀请来中国，距离乐队上一次站在舞台上已经快过去了十年，我们从来没有想到能请到Athletics来巡演。

此外，Athletics还将在北京、广州和深圳举办三场特别专场，朋友们请保持期待！

 

Pg.Lost

来自瑞典东部城市Norrköping的Pg. Lost，被誉为欧洲最具影响力的器乐摇滚乐队之一。他们将自身的音乐风格定义为“瑞典实验乐器主义”, 并在2000年中期就已经站在器乐摇滚领域前沿。与同时代的其他乐队相比，Pg. Lost以对抗性的连复段和夸张的打击乐为主导，从深沉氛围的席卷到强力的摇滚宣泄，突破了后摇流派惯有的忧郁失落。

Pg. Lost曾多次来到中国巡演，后者更创造了几乎场场售罄的佳绩，不少乐迷更是通过那他们的音乐真正了解并且爱上器乐摇滚。乐队沉稳大气的演出风格令人耳目一新，不少中国的乐手也曾深受Pg.Lost的影响。

Pg.Lost推出了多张备受好评的专辑，音乐风格在每张唱片之间呈现出明确且逐步的演变，包括《Yes I Am》、《In Never Out》、以及与中国后摇传奇乐队惘闻的合集《Split》，直至他们最新的作品《Oscillate》，充满了纯粹的戏剧效果和发泄感。新专辑《Oscillate》侧重于乐器演奏，他们对张力和释放的敏锐把握，可以称为一场“戏剧性与净化力的能量爆炸”，从情感分量到创新精神，从野蛮残暴到黑暗实验主义，这些重量级元素交织在一起，打开了更广远的开放视野，展现了一种壮阔深度和内在闪光美。

在如今过度包装的“现代音乐”中，能见到如此深度和质感的作品实属罕见。

About NEW BEAT

Since 2009 New Noise have been bringing many international bands to China. We are excited to announce the second edition of New Beat Festival. We would love to give the a truly unique music experience, a place for encouragement and comfort by carefully curating a line up with important independent artists. Music is put on the foreground and we want to create something special together. The second edition of New Beat will feature 2 bands who all hold a very important place in our hearts and who we consider as the shape of New Noise to come. Please join us on May 16 in Shanghai for New Beat.

NEW BEAT 2024 Line Up

Athletics (20:00 - 21:15)

Athletics began their journey in 2008 with songs littered with piercing delays and exhausted lyrical pleas pulling and pushing between angst and nostalgia. The band released their first record “Why Aren’t I Home?” on Deep Elm Records in 2010. The band then found its home base in New Jersey, and after a few tours found themselves writing their second album. “Who You Are Is Not Enough”  which turned into the cult-classic world of post-rock. A single song separated into five “movements,” reflecting on love, loss, and acceptance, connected with countless listeners across the globe, and has since then sold thousands of vinyl records via intheclouds and New Noise China.  By 2016 while the band was not actively together, the writing never ceased. “When to Run, Where to Hide,” was self-released single from the band late that year, and its release show would be the last time they shared a stage together.

Cut to 2024. With a new album in the works, Athletics is finally back. An unique chance to see this monumental live band playing their iconic album in full.

The mood and feel from Athletics speaks for itself and the emotions are where the band truly succeeds. Athletics will be known for a band that truly is not afraid to express their deepest inner thoughts as well as moving musical ideas that fit their destinations perfectly. Athletics is one of these bands that we’ve been requested by many fans to bring out to China, something we never thought would be possible. After doing two special vinyl reissues for Who You Are Is Not Enough, the band finally is in the right place to do this tour. A chance in a lifetime to see this unique band!

Athletics will be doing 3 other headline shows in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. More info to follow soon!

Pg.Lost (21:30 - 22:45)

Hailing from the city of Norrköping in east Sweden, Pg.lost are one of Europe biggest instrumental band who have described their sounds as “Swedish experimental instrumentalism”. In contrast to the largely swamping, unwavering soundscapes of contemporaries such as This Will Destroy You and Explosions In The Sky, the band’s sound is anchored by confrontational riffs and bombastic percussion, transcending the vast melancholy ambience mastered by other outfits within the genre.

The group have put out a number of highly acclaimed releases, with their sonic palette going through a surefire yet gradual evolution between each recording including albums like Yes I Am, In Never Out a split with Chinese postrock legends Wang Wen up till their latest effort Oscillate.

Pg.Lost’s Oscillate– the band’s latest LP packed to the gills with pure drama and catharsis. Their fifth overall and first effort since 2016’s much lauded Versus, Oscillate leans on an instrumental approach and while their keen understanding of tension/release may warrant comparison to the likes of MONO, Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Pg.Lost is unafraid to move into exciting new directions. With influences that range from the emotional heft of Big Thief to the inventive spirit of krautrock to the brutality of Neurosis to the dark experimentalism of COIL, these heavier elements intertwine and open up into wide-eyed expansiveness of Fennesz or Tim Hecker, revealing a beauty shimmering underneath and a range of depth rarely found in today’s over-compressed and spit-shined version of “modern music.”
