And it’s been a long time since we featured 聲子蟲 Bugs of phonon, so let’s have some of that epic sound:

According to Spotify, they released TWO albums in 2022. The song 印象派 Impressionism is from Understory (full a/v credits at YT), and A Sudden Rain is from a Midnight Town:

2 excellent tunes from the new compilation from (mostly) electronica label 派樂黛唱片有限公司 Dark Paradise Records.  =D

《派樂黛 G8 二元對立》Dark Paradise Records G8 Binary Opposition (Executive Producer: 黃少雍 Shao-Yong Huang)

The song above is indie rock, with some tasteful background synths. Fun groove, good vocals, you can’t ask for anything more!  The MV has the actress Inna cooking & eating fried rice.   =D

鄭宜農 Enno Cheng directed this beautiful MV, which stars: 王可元,  嚴正嵐,  林予晞, and 陳妤.

Enno wrote the song, and it is much quieter than one of her soaring anthems. Very tasteful arrangement, as well.  Let’s have a look at some of the musical credits:

Producer/Vocal Producer: 盧律銘 Lu Luming

Arrangement: *JB, 林孝親 Hsiao-Chin Lin / 林思妤 Szu-Yu Lin

*I do not know if ‘JB’ stands for 曜爆甘音樂工作室 Just Busy Music Studio, but they are listed in the credits for strings: 

First Violin: 朱奕寧 Yi-Ning Ju. Second Violin: 盧思蒨 Lu Szu-Chien

Viola: 甘威鵬 Weapon Gan. Cello: 葉欲新 Shin (Yushin Ye)

French Horn: 廖竑翔 Hung-Hsiang Liao

Enno played a sold out concert the other night at 天母 體育館 Tienmu Stadium in support of her new 給天王星 Dear Uranus album, but this song is on her Pluto album from 2017.  The studio recording featured the late Ellen Loo (【鄭宜農feat. 盧凱彤– Our Pop Song】), but in the clip, the crowd helped out, it is very touching, and the lighting effects are so cool!:

Band Leader / Keys & Piano: 林泰羽 Taiyu Lin (他者 the other) Guitar: 林建文 Kevin Lin（大頭） Guitar / Sax: 黃浩庭 Haoting Huang Programer / Synth: 何俊葦 Chun Ho aka 小青蛙 (PUMPKINney Fan Club 南瓜妮歌迷俱樂部) Bass: 曹瑋 Marcus Tsao Drum: White Wu 吳柏廷 (Manic Sheep, Prairie WWWW / 落差草原 WWWW)

A new MV from 蘇珮卿 Paige Su came out last week!    =D

Very delicate sound - intimate harp & vocal and prominent electronic percussion.  There are light strings and also heavy guitar, but that’s in the background of this arrangement by 盧律銘 Lu Luming. (聲子蟲 Bugs of phonon, 棋盤上的空格 Empty Space On a Chessboard)

Beautiful & spacy post rock from Kaohsiung, this is 昴宿 Pleiades  =D   

They have a new ep coming out this weekend, so stay tuned. (And click the tag for our previous posts!)

The current lineup: 何承恩-drums, bassist-何旻桓 (妙蛙種馬 (Magic Stallions)), 林轉 Turn Lin-gtr/loop, 黃甯 (花花)-gtr (also in 異鄉人 The Strangers)

Bonus post rock:  this is a live onslaught of a new song from 聲子蟲 Bugs of phonon.  This band has been around for a decade, and as you can see, they don’t mess around:

The band is listed as: 柯明-gtr, if-gtr/programming (盧律銘 Lu Luming), Q-bass, 阿甘-drums
