专辑介绍:

到处都是小清新，听多了难免头疼.

那么这张专辑很可能会让你眼前一亮.

最直观的说法是:歌很好听,cover很好看.

没有惯常Indie的甜腻或者泛滥.

轻柔的电音背景,乐器铺陈出一点点转折的感觉.

女声自然无矫饰,略有跳脱的音符,诉说着没有阴霾的故事.

这是他们03年发行的一张EP,凭借这七首歌他们获得了SF Weekly2003音乐奖的最佳流行组合冠军(the title of Best Pop Group).

第六首翻唱了The Smiths的[There Is A Light That Never Gose Out],一点点淡淡忧伤,和原唱有别样的感觉.

就让春风拂面.

以下为乐队官方介绍:

Kylee Swenson and Earl Otsuka met in 1996 and began writing music together under the name of an exotic fruit, Loquat. Five years later, bass player Anthony Gordon came along and asked the duo, "Why aren't you playing live?" To which Otsuka and Swenson just shrugged their shoulders and went back to their guitars. Gordon then recruited childhood friend, drummer Christopher Lautz, and original Loquat keyboardist Ben Kasman to whip the band into shape. After Kasman left, Ryan Manley entered the fray, and the happy quintet now makes stunning pop music while trying--sometimes unsuccessfully--to drink in moderation.

Armed with its organic-meets-electronic guitar pop, Loquat released its first two EPs--The Penny Drop (self released) and Fall (Dreams By Degrees)--in 2002, and various Loquat tracks have found their way to compilations, including Listen.com's Listen Picks Vol. II and Amoeba's Amoeba Music Compilation Vol. IV. In 2003, Devil In The Woods records released Loquat's EP, Before the Momentum, including a cover of The Smiths' "There is a Light That Never Goes Out."

The band has shared the stage with The Cardigans and Evan Dando, was voted "Best Pop Group" at the 2003 SF Weekly Music Awards, toured from California to Texas for SXSW, and had its track "Swingset Chain" featured on The WBs One Tree Hill.

A month after the U.S. release of the bands debut full-length album, "It's Yours to Keep" (Jackpine Social Club)--released in Spain, Portugal, Mexico and Sweden on Dearstereofan records in 2004--Loquat reached 85 on the CMJ Radio 200 chart.

Backed by the lilting, moody dynamics of her bandmates, Swenson sings in sepia tones, mixing bittersweet nostalgia with sardonic humor through penetrating lyricism.
