Monster Movie

1995年，發(fā)跡自Shoegazer運動的英國里丁樂隊Slowdive宣佈解散，為他們劃上了句號。人所共知，Slowdive的兩位主將Neil Halstead和Rachel Goswell隨即聯(lián)同第二代鼓手Ian McCutcheon另組成Mojave 3，并加盟在獨立名廠4AD旗下；而Neil和Rachel在近年更先后推出個人專輯。另一邊廂，來到2000年，其結(jié)他手Christian Savill則跟他的舊日拍檔Sean Hewson「復(fù)合」，組成Monster Movie。何以二人是復(fù)合呢？原來早在1989年，Christian和Sean本屬Eternal這支樂團(tuán)，更在Bristol傳奇性Indie-Pop獨立廠牌Sarah旗下出版過一張單曲Breath。及后樂隊因為Christian轉(zhuǎn)投Slowdive而告一段落。想不到分道揚(yáng)鑣近十載，他倆又可以再走在一起組樂隊，以Monster Movie延續(xù)其合作關(guān)係。
Christian Savill and Sean Hewson, a London-based indie rock duo, have been playing together under various names since 1989, including a brief stint as the Eternal, a band that released one single on the Sarah label. Savill, who was also in Slowdive, decided to start playing again with Hewson in 2000 as Monster Movie, most likely naming themselves after the Can album of the same name. Since debuting in 2001 with a five-track EP on Clairecords, they've released a handful of EPs and albums, including Last Night Something Happened (2001), a split EP with Dreamend (2002), Transistor (2004), To the Moon (2004), and All Lost (2006). Their recordings have drifted between neo-shoegaze, straight-up indie pop, and synth-driven material inspired by the Factory label's dance-oriented sect (Section 25, New Order).
