The Daily Dig

Slower than Sleep, heavier than death — a foundational drone metal work. Sunn O)))'s third album from 2002 takes inspiration from drone godfather Earth but plunges into an even slower, more ritualistic abyss. This is its first proper vinyl release via Southern Lord, cut by Matt Colton with a full-color poster and vinyl-exclusive track. Japanese noise legend Merzbow personally mixed two tracks, and the record marks the band's first-ever use of a drum machine and vocals — hidden in 〈F.W.T.B.T.〉, a deconstruction of Metallica's 'For Whom the Bell Tolls.'

比 Sleep 更慢，比死亡更沉，drone metal 的奠基神作。Sunn O))) 這張 2002 年第三張專輯以 drone 教父 Earth 為靈感，走向更極致緩慢、更具儀式感的深淵。此次首度透過 Southern Lord 正式發行黑膠，刻片師 Matt Colton 親手處理，附全彩海報與黑膠限定曲。日本噪音大師 Merzbow 親自混音其中兩軌，並藏著樂團史上第一次的鼓機與人聲——〈F.W.T.B.T.〉正是對 Metallica〈For Whom the Bell Tolls〉的解構式詮釋。

A lovely, low-key work from Tokyo trio cambelle. The male-female duet on 〈Dream in Bossa〉 recalls the languid melodies of 猫戦, with a touch of Brazilian flavor and echoes of Shin Rhythm and Lamp. Fresh yet nostalgic, it carries the lineage of Japanese neo-acoustic, city pop and indie pop while sharing an aesthetic with contemporaries like Clairo, Alice Phoebe Lou, and Men I Trust. Based in Shimokitazawa, the band's late-2025 release now gets a vinyl pressing for Japan's Record Store Day.

來自東京的三人樂團 cambelle，一張非常好聽又低調的作品。初聽〈Dream in Bossa〉的男女合唱，讓人想起樂團猫戦鬆懶懶的旋律，帶著些許巴西風味，也讓人聯想到シンリズム或 Lamp。整體清新又懷舊，承接日本 Neo-Acoustic、City Pop 與獨立流行的脈絡，同時能感受到與 Clairo、Alice Phoebe Lou、Men I Trust 相近的當代美學。以下北澤為據點的他們，去年底發行的這張作品今年將於日本「唱片之日」推出黑膠。
