[b]介绍：[/b]
Feelings are easy. Abstract and ethereal, but they抮e as natural as being alive ?intuition抯 second cousin. Giving those feelings a concrete voice, then, is the real fight. We抮e all so very human. We possess a never-ending capacity for love, but we get nervous, we get lazy, we take each other for granted. We save sentiments for some other time. By then maybe it抯 too late梞aybe the object of your emotion has left your life for good.
揈ulogies for me is not about talking about someone who抯 dead,?says Eulogies bandleader Peter Walker. 揑t抯 saying those things that someone would say only at that moment but wish they had said right now. That抯 what I抦 preaching to myself?don抰 be quiet. I can抰 survive down that road.?
On October 7th, Dangerbird will release Eulogies?four-song EP entitled Tempted To Do Nothing, which will be followed by their upcoming full-length album, Here Anonymous, due out Spring 2009. The music on both releases imparts an intimacy of emotion that抯 normally all too easy to shy away from. Everyone who抯 ever loved anyone knows the process isn抰 easy, but it is necessary. Eulogies?songs struggle with broken-down communication, the weight of bad habits, the fear of being alone. That struggle is universal, and it抯 presented within the music with a directness that抯 both stark and beautiful.
揑 think self-limitation is such a great thing,?Walker says. 揑t lets you dig in a little bit more instead of changing things for every mood or song. It forces you to manipulate what you have in your hand rather than try to grab at something else.?
With Chris Reynolds on drums, Tim Hutton on bass, plus Walker on guitar and vocals, Eulogies renders vivid scenes with a minimalist palette. Written during a Fall 2007 U.S. tour with Film School, the songs on Here Anonymous are deceivingly simple. Riding warm, well-worn instrumental tones and Walker抯 patient, understated vocals, they build a consistent mood over the album抯 12 songs.
揥e抮e not just going in and recording an A-side and a B-side,?Walker explains. 揑 love to put a record on and that抯 the feeling I抦 gonna get for 40 minutes. But it抯 gotta be exciting, too.?
To that end, Walker shifts tempos and instrumentation and brings along the occasional guest. 揟wo Can Play?opens with a gorgeous, dreamy groove, and soon Walker and Nikki Monninger of Dangerbird bandmates Silversun Pickups are finishing each other抯 soft-sung verses. The haunting organ sound on 揝tranger Calliope?was achieved via a Casiotone keyboard layered over a live flautist. Songs build momentum from one to the next with meticulous track sequencing; drama is evoked not through volume or intensity but subtle counterpoints in composition. There抯 a gentle, knowing tension to the music that speaks to the bittersweet push and pull of everyday living and dying.
揑 see a lot of these songs as being really positive,?Walker says. 揑nstead of 慦oe is me,?I抦 lifting myself up and I抦 trying to share that a little bit. In general the subject-matter can be dark, talking about loss or being alone, but really it抯 all optimistic.?
The result is melancholy music that抯 upbeat, a record of specific personal intent that speaks to us all. Eulogies offers catharsis; a musical tradition that抯 ageless and inviolate. Here Anonymous snatches a moment out of that continuum for us to share, here and now.
Full Length album Here Anonymous set for release Spring ?9.
