Manic Sheep

深爱Yo La Tengo或者Yuck的朋友请特別注意，你挖到宝了。由罗玉婷（贝斯+主唱）、谢闳宥（吉他）和康心怡（鼓）组成的Manic Sheep团如其名（或如其纸雕封面），层次复杂，既焦躁又温驯，却能好端端的圈养在一块，将梦幻民谣、瞪鞋、噪音摇滚、后庞克…统整成一种晕晕的感觉。你听〈LaLaLa〉与〈Broken〉的温柔嗓音，就像一卷夏日单车Mixtape，骑着骑着，有点流汗有点晕，却也有微风拂过。（by林猫王）

<关于 Manic Sheep>

2010年成立起，经过团员多次更动、磨合，直到2011年夏天确定了现在的三人组合（罗玉婷/ 贝斯、主唱，谢闳宥/ 吉他，康心怡／鼓）。在各大表演场合中逐渐展露头角，并於今年获得文化部乐团录音补助，发行首张同名专辑。专辑录制期间，远赴英国参加利物浦双年展，同时进行MV拍摄作业。从录音、混音、专辑设计、影像制作、发行皆一手包办，展现出独立乐团的精神。近日更获邀参加2013年北美SXSW与NXNE两大音乐祭！

音乐本质混和瞪鞋、噪音还有各式各样无法归类的型态，时而柔情，时而焦躁。除了愤怒的叫嚣，偶尔也想制造更多温暖。不精确地，浪漫呢喃与噪音并存。创作来源几乎都是自身生活经验，如同团名一样再怎么暴躁本质上只是一只绵羊。

Playing a mixture of Shoegaze and Noise Rock, Manic Sheep formed in 2010 in Taipei.They constantly switch between different roles and genre in their music.
Unexpectedly, many overseas audiences have been becoming more and more interested in their music.

Manic Sheep「新专辑」《Rewind 2014》收录的九首歌，原始档在前吉他手谢闳宥的硬碟里存放了整 整十年，夹杂在他离团前，与主唱 Chris (罗玉婷)、鼓手小白 (吴柏廷) 一整年的创作记录中。十年后， 原班人马将过去录制的音轨重新处理，让音乐重见天日。 2012 年同名专辑《Manic Sheep》发行后，Chris /谢闳宥这对写歌组合在台湾独立音乐圈开始众所皆 知。短短两年内巡回了美国和日本，状似遥遥领先同期乐团，但在他们心中种下的不是希望，而是对音 乐完成度以及艺术性的焦虑。随着小白的加入，2014 年他们往返练团室及录音室，渴于实现脑中的声 音。 《Rewind 2014》前半重现了台北瞪鞋场景，以〈Dream〉著名的吉他 riff 开场。〈Juliet〉邀请了 2024 的橙草克拉克献声。〈Mushroom〉在 Joy Division - Disorder 的节奏上，铺着 Chris 的甜美声线 及蓬松吉他破音，状似无害，实则黑暗深邃。 从第六首〈Kimchi〉开始，专辑后半四首歌贯穿泡菜摇滚、后庞克，乃至工业摇滚。十年前，小白机械 式的 Motorik 鼓击，奠定了〈Reset〉及〈Invisible Discord〉的工业氛围，此次混音重制加入梦东洪御 合成器，让声音的影像感更强烈。〈Invisible Discord〉邀请 DYGL 主唱秋山信树献唱，以磁性嗓音， 搭配 Chris 疏离却坚定的吟唱。 Manic Sheep 在 2024 回到过去，完成未完的音乐。当初的三人组都认为隔了这十年，他们才成长到能 将这些歌，以符合脑中想象的声音呈现的地步。Rewind 是倒带的动作，是音乐还用磁带播放时，物理 性地回溯时间的方式。我们不会知道，在平行的 2014 年，这张专辑成功发行的世界，会跟我们身处的 现实有多少差异。可是至少在我们的时间线，可以看到 2024 年的 Manic Sheep 手动将时间倒带，回 溯到最酷的噪音台北

英文版介绍
If you could go back ten years, what changes would you make? Manic Sheep revisits the past with their album Rewind 2014, confronting their younger selves in a raw, non-fictional narrative. The nine tracks on Rewind 2014 were stored on former guitarist Hung Yu's hard drive for a decade, capturing the intense year before his departure from the band. A decade later, the original trio—Chris Lo, Hung Yu, and drummer White Wu—has reworked these tracks, merging their past selves with the present. After their 2012 debut album Manic Sheep, Chris and Hung Yu became well-known in Taiwan’s indie music scene. In just two years, they had toured the U.S. and Japan, landing a slot at Fuji Rock Rookie A-Go-Go. They appeared ahead of other bands in the scene, but instead of hope, their rapid rise fueled anxiety about artistic integrity and perfection. In 2014, after the young drummer White joined, they spent most of their time in rehearsals and recording, eager to realize the sounds they envisioned. Back then, Taipei’s underground music scene wasn’t dominated by City Pop. Post-punk, shoegaze, The first half of Rewind 2014 revives the brilliance of that shoegaze scene, opening with the iconic guitar riff of "Dream." "Juliet" features a guest appearance from Clock Chung of Orangegrass, recorded in 2024, whose youthful voice sounds just as it did a decade ago. "Mushroom" blends Chris’s sweet vocals with Hung Yu’s fuzzy guitar distortion over the rhythm of Joy Division’s "Disorder," showing the hallmark of Manic Sheep’s sound. The album takes a dramatic turn with the sixth track, "Kimchi," delivering a krautrock-inspired soundscape. The final four tracks blend post-punk, krautrock, and no wave influences drawing from Neu!, Joy Division, and DIIV. White’s mechanical motorik drumming established the industrial vibe of "Reset" and "Invisible Discord." In 2024, Mong Tong’s Hom Yu elevated the tracks with synthesizer pads and chirps, giving them a more cinematic feel. "Invisible Discord" features vocals from DYGL’s frontman Nobuki Akiyama, whose hypnotic voice complements Chris’s detached yet resolute delivery, embodying the lyrical struggle between the left and right brain—and spray-painting the “Manic” part of the band’s name across their wall of sound. Many painstakingly crafted albums tear bands apart, leaving them either immortalized or forgotten. Remarkably, Manic Sheep avoided both fates, allowing them to return to the past and complete the sounds they had envisioned. Reflecting on the final product, the trio agrees that only now, after a decade, have they matured enough to present these songs as they always imagined. Rewind is the act of physically turning back the tape, a way of reversing time to when music was still played on cassettes. We may never know what a parallel 2014, where this album was released, would look like. But in 2024, Manic Sheep rewinds time, bringing us back to the coolest, noisiest version of Taipei

Invisible

清晨碎裂的絮语，恍恍惚惚中透入细微的光。

Morning Fragment

那份无以名状的情感
顺着你望向我的视线
凌乱的在红岩的裂缝中滋长
黄昏不再是黄昏
你忘了我，而我忘了我自己

睽违两年，Manic Sheep推出新作品“Deep Dusk”。同名单曲「Deep Dusk」保留着吉他音墙却制造出许多留白的想像空间，创造出迷离又混乱的情绪线，另一首「 Sedona“则以巧妙的声音堆叠呈现出疏离感。这张作品打破了以往较为快节奏的风格路线，是内敛且情感较为深厚的抒情作品，可谓是Manic Sheep一个新方向的转变。

Deep Dusk

你我的梦是由扎实的痛和伤口堆叠而成，是入睡后仍然不断入侵的现实残块，是在意识消逝的边缘，拥著自身咨意生长纠结的疯狂入眠。

Manic Sheep 睽违四年的新专辑《布鲁克林》以同名曲为题，讲述一个个梦与现实断层的故事。貌似具体的地名和任何符号一样，都是共同建构出的概念，对其投射的任何印象和想像，最后映照出的还是自身的孤寂榜徨。

这张专辑真正的地标，是在你心中的空洞处。在以为没有出口的角落，Manic Sheep 用最柔软的方式陪著你，跟你说「Stop All These Painful, and Make It Hopeful. Let's Start to Go」。
