简介
MACONDØ - 来自北京的四人器乐摇滚乐团
4 PIECE INSTRUMENTAL BAND FROM BEIJING, CHINA
MACONDØ 是本地音乐圈的创新者,并持续创作当今中国最令人兴奋和引人入胜的器乐音乐:激扬的鼓点、飘渺复杂的吉他、极具攻击性的贝斯,以及超然的合成器音效交织在一起,构建了其独特的音乐,在变幻莫测的节奏驱动下,呈现某种氛围和空间感甚至心理压迫感。他们的音乐可以从梦幻般的场景疯狂地转向经过深思熟虑的狂暴——一种恶性混合,继续吸引着各种音乐流派的歌迷。
该乐队于 2015 年在中国成立,有幸支持了 We Lost the Sea、Sleepmakeswaves 和 LITE 等国际友团的演出。在他们的第一张专辑发行后,Macondø 还在大中华区进行了巡演并参加了一系列音乐节。
2018 年,乐队发行了同名的第一张专辑,这是他们早期音乐的合集,是乐队开始3年演变的核心内容。内容是一种诱人的混合,融合了乐队早期声音的强烈打击乐器摇滚,以及乐队日益电子化和渐进式方向的前卫音乐方向。

“这是 Mogwai 的前卫摇滚,带有大量电子填充和 80 年代摇滚方式。”现场中国音乐
继他们的原鼓手Matthew Bryne于2020年离队后,同样来自英国的Jake Nimer加入了Macondø并完成了新的阵容。
专辑[II]是乐队自三年前发行第一张专辑以来不断发展的歌曲创作的积累。受科幻史诗场景的启发,这张44分钟的专辑探索了一个孤独的人在灾难性事件后的旅程,每首歌都是七部分短篇故事中章节的配乐,导致“怪物”。
[II]由乐队自行制作,由李马科和乐队的贝斯手Fred担任主要的录音师,并且由波兰工程师Jacek Miłaszewski担任混音和母带。将于2021年底发布。
MACONDØ is an innovator within the local music scene and continues to make some of the most exciting and compelling music in China today: An eclectic mix of ethereal synth with searing elements of math-core and instrumental rock. Their music can veer wildly from dreamscapes to calculated fury – a vicious blend that continues to entice fans from a spectrum of musical genres.
Forged within China in 2015, the band has had the privilege of supporting international acts such as We Lost the Sea, Sleepmakeswaves, and LITE. Macondø has also toured within Greater China along with festival shows, following the release of their first album.
in 2018, the band released its self-titled first album, which is a collection of their earlier material, the core staple of the last 3 years of the band’s evolution. The content is a tantalising mix of the hard-hitting instrumental rock that characterised the band’s earlier sound, with the caustic futurism of the band’s increasingly electronic and progressive direction.

Following their original drummer Matthew Bryne’s departure in 2020, fellow Englishman Jake Nimer joined Macondø and completed the new line-up.
Album [II] is an accumulation of the band’s evolved songwriting since their first album release three years ago. Inspired by the epic scenes of science fiction, this 44-minute album explores a lone man’s journey after a catastrophic event, each song is a soundtrack to the chapters in the seven-part short story, leading to ‘The Monster’。
[ II ] is once again self-produced, and mixed and mastered by Polish engineer Jacek Miłaszewski. To be released late 2021.
