Space Afrika-Honest Labour
英國曼徹斯特Space Afrika二人組,透過此輯的dub與ambient創作,試圖探討工人階級的「勞動」意象,透過實驗性極強的環境音場設計,傳達對城市生活、工人階級以及日常勞動的反思。《Honest Labour》不僅展現他們透過聲音設計傳達深厚創作情感的才能,同時也以專輯內緩慢的節奏、抽象的音效以及幽深的音景,探索身處其中的勞動者與其環境的關聯,靜謐又充滿「反動」意味,「這是我們向英國致敬的專輯,同時也是一張關於愛與失落的專輯。」 全球限量紅膠發行,潮電聆聽與購買推薦。
The British Manchester-based duo Space Afrika explores the imagery of "labor" from the working class through their dub and ambient creations in this album. With highly experimental environmental sound design, they convey reflections on urban life, the working class, and daily labor. Honest Labour not only showcases their talent for expressing deep emotional creativity through sound design, but also explores the relationship between the laborers and their environment with slow rhythms, abstract effects, and profound soundscapes. The album is tranquil yet filled with "reactionary" meaning: "This is our homage to the U.K., and also an album about love and loss." A limited edition red vinyl release, highly recommended by潮電Bar&RecordStore for both listening and purchase.
