Delayed Reaction

On July 17th, Minneapolis rockers Soul Asylum return with their first new album in six years, Delayed Reaction. The band’s tenth studio LP is their first with 429 Records and also the first without original bassist Karl Mueller, who passed away in 2005. Now, the lineup includes founders Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy alongside bassist Tommy Stinson (of The Replacements) and former Prince drummer Michael Bland.
Produced by Soul Asylum and overseen by John Fields, Delayed Reaction, according to a press release, “bristles with the tightly wound, slightly ragged vibe that characterized the band when they emerged straight out of Minneapolis.” It was recorded across the country in Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Minneapolis, which injects the LP with “a unique backdrop of local culture vibe.”
To support the release, the band will hit the road this summer, so stay tuned for a complete itinerary. In the meantime, check out the album’s tracklist below, including past recordings of Reaction tracks “Gravity”, “Into the Light”, “Let’s All Kill Each Other”, “Cruel Intentions”, and “I Should’ve Stayed In Bed” shortly after.
Soul Asylum，成立于1983年的另類搖滾樂隊，成立時樂隊奠定的風(fēng)格是暴躁的朋克和硬搖滾風(fēng)格，在當(dāng)時美國眾多的此類型地下樂隊中并沒有脫穎而出，樂隊的幾張專輯也并沒有引起怎樣的轟動，由于長期排練和演出中巨大聲響的侵害，主音吉他兼主唱David Pirner〔大衛(wèi).皮爾納〕的耳朵失聰了，然而即使如此，他也并沒有放棄對音樂的執(zhí)著追求，而且因禍得福，他們開始排練一些原聲的作品，卻取得了無以倫比的成功。1992年，他們推出的一張專輯《Grave Dancers Union》〔凄慘舞者聯(lián)盟〕，一張深沉而不失柔情的原聲專輯剛一登榜就引起了從樂評者到普通樂迷的巨大驚喜，專輯中的很多作品都是經(jīng)典之作，而《runaway train》〔迷失列車〕更成為世界級的搖滾經(jīng)典。這首《runaway train》堪稱Soul Asylum的扛鼎之作，這是首描寫失蹤兒童問題的作品，在清脆干凈的吉他、不動聲色的鼓點伴奏下，主唱皮爾納滄桑沙啞的嗓音從喉底或者說從心底吟出最深沉的悲憤與控訴，悲傷和憤怒的極致通常不是血淚泣訴或狂吼一氣，而是近乎平和的，淡淡的陳述，而這卻更容易滲入聽者的心底。心隨著略含悲意的音樂起伏，似乎看到了失去親生兒女的母親那無助、失神的目光。
