Goodnight Moon”是昆汀電影 "Kill Bill Vol.2"(殺死比爾2)的片尾曲,以其妖魅感吸引了廣大歌迷注意。Shivaree樂隊(duì)成立不久就炮制出史上名字超長的專輯《I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head for Making Me Live in This Dump》,鬼才導(dǎo)演昆汀•塔倫蒂諾選用其中一首“Goodnight Moon”,甜美而頹廢,慵懶而性感,備受追捧。
Shivaree不是經(jīng)常能出現(xiàn)在唱片封套上那個女子的名字,女孩名叫Ambrosia Parsley,一個從小在祖母的四弦琴下長大的小姑娘,13歲邁出家門獨(dú)闖天下,邊走邊唱,結(jié)識了吉他手Duke McVinnie以及鍵盤手Danny McGough。1999年,三人樂隊(duì)Shivaree誕生。
Shivaree有點(diǎn)懶散舒適的Folk風(fēng)格,又帶點(diǎn)POP的流行輕松,仔細(xì)聽還加入些歌特的迷幻意味。Ambrosia Parsley稚氣,張力,質(zhì)感,甜美,迷幻,慵懶,頹廢配合樂隊(duì)恰倒好處的節(jié)奏,完美地展現(xiàn)了屬于他們耐人尋味的音樂線條。
