<p>合成器環境音樂。他之前出的 <em>Germ in a Population of Buildings</em> 就比較電子、實驗一點。這張就是很悅耳,整張聽下來有種大珠小珠落玉盤的感覺,然後又有些地方有似有若無的悄聲說話,蠻仙的,聽感算是通體舒暢感覺可以一直聽。唯一的缺點是有點太短啦。</p>

<p>這張專輯是 Ghais Guevara 的首張正式全長專輯,由 Fat Possum Records 發行。這間廠牌之前也出過不少我喜歡的音樂人,所以某種程度上可以說是正式大廠出道了。我之前聽過他的混音帶 <em>BlackBolshevik</em>,感覺他想做出類似 JPEGMAFIA 風格的政治嘻哈——極具實驗性的製作,加上兇狠的左翼說唱,就連<a href="https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0922919205_16.jpg">封面設計</a>都讓人想到 <a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8a/JPEGMAFIA_-_Veteran_cover_2.jpg"><em>Veteran</em></a>。不過,<em>BlackBolshevik</em> 的完成度對我來說並不算太高:音樂上過度強調衝突感,反而犧牲了整體聽感;歌詞則是言必稱共產主義,關懷是有的,但說教感稍嫌過頭(當然還是沒有鍾翔宇那麼搞笑)。這次的專輯名稱 “Goyard ibn Said” 則是他的 alter ego,在前年他以這個名字發行了一張混音帶 <em>Goyard Comin’: Exordium</em>,風格比 <em>BlackBolshevik</em> 更浮誇,坦白說,我當時沒太愛。</p>
337-
<p>這次的新專輯比起前兩者,完成度明顯提升不少,概念也更加具體:專輯講述 Goyard ibn Said 作為一位從北費城崛起的饒舌明星,一方面在娛樂圈享受當大屌哥的各種紅利,另一方面卻清楚意識到自己仍然是被剝削的產業螺絲釘。看到這裡也許會覺得——這不就 Kendrick 在講的東西嗎?但相比 K-dot,Ghais Guevara 在專輯後半更專注於娛樂產業作為一種工業結構,如何對人性造成壓制。這是個非常經典的左翼題材,但這次他包裝得相當完整,沒有落入單純的口號式批判。</p>
338-
<p>音樂上,這張的 beat 也比之前過癮許多,沒有一味強調段落的實驗性,而是更多受到 2010 年前後的 cloud rap、trap 與 abstract rap 影響,整體聽感更完整。如果要找個類比,這張專輯讓我想到 Denzel Curry 的 Melt My Eyez See Your Future——算是他作品裡相對內斂的一張,不見得像過去的作品那麼炸裂,但耐聽度反而更高。</p>
339-
<p>題外話,專輯裡有一首歌叫 Monta Ellis,不得不說,06-07 賽季的勇士跟現在的王朝球隊根本是完全不同的物種。當年季後賽 Baron Davis 在 Andrei Kirilenko 頭上那記驚天暴扣,石破天驚啊。</p>
