Lonely Drifter Karen

Lonely Drifter Karen是一支三人乐团，主唱、主创和吉它手Tanja Frinta来自于奥地利中部，曾经在维也纳和哥德堡都组建过乐队，直到在巴塞罗纳遇到另两位真命天子——西班牙钢琴手Marc Meliá Sobrevias和意大利鼓手Giorgio Menossi后，有关Lonely Drifter Karen的音乐恋情故事，才终于落地又生根、开花又结果。音乐底蕴究竟是什么样子，听听Lonely Drifter Karen的这张《Glass Is Singing》，你就会明白个大概。整张专辑以音乐剧、中欧民谣、钢琴小品这些传统的古典音乐元素为架构，甚至是同样参与的爵士乐在这里面都已经算是年轻人了。而这样的组合，在如今的Indie其实也并不算太新鲜，但多数的效果，却只能是提供出一种花花草草的梦幻氛围，说的不好听一点，其中的一些音乐，也不过就是拿着这些流行音乐中的非主流元素，来捣捣浆糊、卖个新鲜和混淆视听罢了。但Lonely Drifter Karen的这张处子专辑，给人最大的感觉就是这些古典元素在运用的过程中，依然让人感到它们的古意盎然、底蕴扎实，很有一种文化的厚重感，也正是有了这种基础，Lonely Drifter Karen的音乐也就丝毫没有了同时代一些独立音乐那种比较常见的轻浮和轻飘。而Tanja Frinta游历的经历，加上其它两名乐手的文化背影，更让这种中欧的古朴，又多了一种北欧的清新和西欧的浪漫这样的融合，也让专辑在古朴的基础上，又多了一种纯粹的简洁和轻盈的浪漫。

“Riding a bicycle is one of my favorite moments to sing a song, walking is good too, and so is washing dishes. I like northern and southern countries, I grew up right in the middle – in Austria – where life tends to be too comfortable sometimes. Extremer climates produces crazier populations and fighting spirit, besides I love orange trees in the winter and a never-setting sun in the summer. I started Lonely Drifter Karen 2003 after leaving my home and my former band in Vienna and moving to Gothenburg, Sweden. It was a step into independence, magical wings which I never thought I had before I gave them a try. After being single for some years I fell in love again, with the Spanish pianist Marc Melià Sobrevias and the Italian drummer Giorgio Menossi. Barcelona was the scene of our romance, the album “Grass is Singing” is the result. Marc's a fanatic inventor and makes sure that the songs are glowing to their fullest potential. He is mainly responsible for the arrangements and is always on fire when playing the piano. Giorgio Menossi is playing “Keep cool, boy” on his drums and usually has a big smile on his face.”

带着樱桃味的佻皮女声，让人有飞翔感的感动声音。
