| 07年所發行的最新大碟《Ten New Messages》，如同簡約的封面設計般依舊維持著樂團一貫的輕微冷冽風格，主唱充滿壓抑感的唱腔與暢快的吉他聲線所營造出的衝突感?射出一股熱力，連時尚界都忍不住慕名前來邀曲，被Dior Homme設計師Hedi Slimane欽點為該時尚秀主題曲的〈The World Was A Mess But His Hair Was Perfect〉以暢快的Post Punk曲風為基底，在急速的鼓點與爽朗的吉他刷弦下堆砌出存在感強烈的時尚韻味。〈Little Superstitions〉則帶著The Strokes的復古龐克影子，在歌曲氣氛營造到高潮處又刻意壓抑至低點的反覆把玩著調性快感。〈We Danced Together〉一曲以近年來當紅的Disco Punk攻佔樂迷們的耳朵，悅耳程度令各DJ們紛紛推出Remix版本供舞場的舞迷們熱舞。緊接著的〈Trouble〉則帶著Pop Punk特有的輕快熱力，親切的旋律更貼近主流市場。〈Suspicious Eyes〉一曲加入了甜蜜女聲，在優美旋律中間更穿插了一小段過癮的Rap增加其間的反差衝突感。以鼓點和主唱聲線為主要肌理表現的〈Down With Moonlight〉，主唱由漫不經心的唱腔逐漸轉為神經質的表現相當搶眼。〈When Tom Cruise Cries〉一曲除了歌名幽默之外，跳躍的旋律也同樣帶著點黑暗自嘲的幽默感，曲風相當神似傳奇前輩New Order。收錄在碟末的〈Leave The City And Come Home〉是一首慢版的抒情佳作，壓抑的吉他聲線與貝斯躍為主角，與主唱Alan Donohoe充滿世故老成的磁性嗓音構築成傷感詩篇。在Brit Pop燃燒殆盡的當下，The Rakes適時地在後龐克領域裡以承先啟後的姿態替樂壇注入一股新鮮活力。 資料來源：福茂唱片 |
