樂隊陣容
Athletics
Athletics在2008年開始了自己的音樂旅程。他們的歌曲充滿了心碎的旋律和憂郁的歌詞，游走在焦慮和懷念之間。2010年，他們在Deep Elm Records發行了首張專輯《Why Aren’t I Home？》之后，樂隊在新澤西找到了根據地。經過幾次巡演，他們開始創作第二張專輯?！禬ho You Are Is Not Enough》這張專輯備受樂迷追捧。這張專輯分為五個樂章，講述了愛情、失去和接受的故事，與全球聽眾緊密相連。通過In The Cloud和New Noise，他們賣出了數千張黑膠唱片。到了2016年，盡管樂隊不再活躍，但創作從未停止。年底，他們自行發行了單曲《When to Run, Where to Hide》，這首歌的發布會也是他們最后一次同臺演出。
轉眼到了2024年，Athletics在制作新專輯的同時回歸了。這次，他們將充分發揮自己標志性特色，我們將有機會在現場體驗這支樂隊的獨特魅力。Athletics的情緒和感覺顯而易見，情緒正是他們取得成功的地方。這支樂隊不怕表達內心最深處的想法，用音樂直擊人心而著稱。
此外，Athletics還將在北京、廣州和深圳舉辦三場特別專場，朋友們請保持期待！
Pg.Lost
?
來自瑞典東部城市Norrköping的Pg. Lost，被譽為歐洲最具影響力的器樂搖滾樂隊之一。他們將自身的音樂風格定義為“瑞典實驗樂器主義”, 并在2000年中期就已經站在器樂搖滾領域前沿。與同時代的其他樂隊相比，Pg. Lost以對抗性的連復段和夸張的打擊樂為主導，從深沉氛圍的席卷到強力的搖滾宣泄，突破了后搖流派慣有的憂郁失落。
Pg. Lost曾多次來到中國巡演，后者更創造了幾乎場場售罄的佳績，不少樂迷更是通過那他們的音樂真正了解并且愛上器樂搖滾。樂隊沉穩大氣的演出風格令人耳目一新，不少中國的樂手也曾深受Pg.Lost的影響。
Pg.Lost推出了多張備受好評的專輯，音樂風格在每張唱片之間呈現出明確且逐步的演變，包括《Yes I Am》、《In Never Out》、以及與中國后搖傳奇樂隊惘聞的合集《Split》，直至他們最新的作品《Oscillate》，充滿了純粹的戲劇效果和發泄感。新專輯《Oscillate》側重于樂器演奏，他們對張力和釋放的敏銳把握，可以稱為一場“戲劇性與凈化力的能量爆炸”，從情感分量到創新精神，從野蠻殘暴到黑暗實驗主義，這些重量級元素交織在一起，打開了更廣遠的開放視野，展現了一種壯闊深度和內在閃光美。
在如今過度包裝的“現代音樂”中，能見到如此深度和質感的作品實屬罕見。

NEW BEAT 2024 Line Up
Athletics (20:00 - 21:15)
Athletics began their journey in 2008 with songs littered with piercing delays and exhausted lyrical pleas pulling and pushing between angst and nostalgia. The band released their first record “Why Aren’t I Home?” on Deep Elm Records in 2010. The band then found its home base in New Jersey, and after a few tours found themselves writing their second album. “Who You Are Is Not Enough” which turned into the cult-classic world of post-rock. A single song separated into five “movements,” reflecting on love, loss, and acceptance, connected with countless listeners across the globe, and has since then sold thousands of vinyl records via intheclouds and New Noise China. By 2016 while the band was not actively together, the writing never ceased. “When to Run, Where to Hide,” was self-released single from the band late that year, and its release show would be the last time they shared a stage together.
Cut to 2024. With a new album in the works, Athletics is finally back. An unique chance to see this monumental live band playing their iconic album in full.
The mood and feel from Athletics speaks for itself and the emotions are where the band truly succeeds. Athletics will be known for a band that truly is not afraid to express their deepest inner thoughts as well as moving musical ideas that fit their destinations perfectly. Athletics is one of these bands that we’ve been requested by many fans to bring out to China, something we never thought would be possible. After doing two special vinyl reissues for Who You Are Is Not Enough, the band finally is in the right place to do this tour. A chance in a lifetime to see this unique band!
Athletics will be doing 3 other headline shows in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. More info to follow soon!
Pg.Lost (21:30 - 22:45)
Hailing from the city of Norrköping in east Sweden, Pg.lost are one of Europe biggest instrumental band who have described their sounds as “Swedish experimental instrumentalism”. In contrast to the largely swamping, unwavering soundscapes of contemporaries such as This Will Destroy You and Explosions In The Sky, the band’s sound is anchored by confrontational riffs and bombastic percussion, transcending the vast melancholy ambience mastered by other outfits within the genre.
The group have put out a number of highly acclaimed releases, with their sonic palette going through a surefire yet gradual evolution between each recording including albums like Yes I Am, In Never Out a split with Chinese postrock legends Wang Wen up till their latest effort Oscillate.
Pg.Lost’s Oscillate– the band’s latest LP packed to the gills with pure drama and catharsis. Their fifth overall and first effort since 2016’s much lauded Versus, Oscillate leans on an instrumental approach and while their keen understanding of tension/release may warrant comparison to the likes of MONO, Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Pg.Lost is unafraid to move into exciting new directions. With influences that range from the emotional heft of Big Thief to the inventive spirit of krautrock to the brutality of Neurosis to the dark experimentalism of COIL, these heavier elements intertwine and open up into wide-eyed expansiveness of Fennesz or Tim Hecker, revealing a beauty shimmering underneath and a range of depth rarely found in today’s over-compressed and spit-shined version of “modern music.”
