簡介
MACOND? - 來自北京的四人器樂搖滾樂團
4 PIECE INSTRUMENTAL BAND FROM BEIJING, CHINA
MACOND? 是本地音樂圈的創新者,并持續創作當今中國最令人興奮和引人入勝的器樂音樂:激揚的鼓點、飄渺復雜的吉他、極具攻擊性的貝斯,以及超然的合成器音效交織在一起,構建了其獨特的音樂,在變幻莫測的節奏驅動下,呈現某種氛圍和空間感甚至心理壓迫感。他們的音樂可以從夢幻般的場景瘋狂地轉向經過深思熟慮的狂暴——一種惡性混合,繼續吸引著各種音樂流派的歌迷。
該樂隊于 2015 年在中國成立,有幸支持了 We Lost the Sea、Sleepmakeswaves 和 LITE 等國際友團的演出。在他們的第一張專輯發行后,Macond? 還在大中華區進行了巡演并參加了一系列音樂節。
2018 年,樂隊發行了同名的第一張專輯,這是他們早期音樂的合集,是樂隊開始3年演變的核心內容。內容是一種誘人的混合,融合了樂隊早期聲音的強烈打擊樂器搖滾,以及樂隊日益電子化和漸進式方向的前衛音樂方向。

繼他們的原鼓手Matthew Bryne于2020年離隊后,同樣來自英國的Jake Nimer加入了Macond?并完成了新的陣容。
專輯[II]是樂隊自三年前發行第一張專輯以來不斷發展的歌曲創作的積累。受科幻史詩場景的啟發,這張44分鐘的專輯探索了一個孤獨的人在災難性事件后的旅程,每首歌都是七部分短篇故事中章節的配樂,導致“怪物”。
[II]由樂隊自行制作,由李馬科和樂隊的貝斯手Fred擔任主要的錄音師,并且由波蘭工程師Jacek Mi?aszewski擔任混音和母帶。將于2021年底發布。
MACOND? 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. Macond? 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 Macond? 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 Mi?aszewski. To be released late 2021.
