Name: AN ID SIGNAL 意色樓 (HK)
Date Performing: Sunday, 1 December 2024
Profile:
Combining post-hardcore and emo with a distinctly Hong Kong state of mind, veteran local outfit and key members of the Un.Tomorrow collective, An Id Signal, have been tearing it up at venues across the city for close to 20 years, having released their debut album ‘Known Strangers’ back in early 2007. Carving out a sound they call “soul punk,” the band are famed for their raucous live performances that crackle with emotion and unbridled energy, and have garnered a loyal following for their uncompromising attitude, profound spirit, and raw intensity.
香港獨立音樂編年史上不可或缺嘅「意色樓」,分別喺2006年及2012年發表《相識但陌生》及《公開跟秘密之間》兩張經典大碟,將人際愛恨忐忑、情色性慾陰暗面等感情刻劃於〈剎那快慰〉、〈懷抱內拆穿你〉、〈小鹿亂撞〉等多首作品。沉寂一段日子後,2021年推出驚喜單曲〈恍然嚮往的瞬間〉,被 DAVID BORING 張醫生撰文形容為「清新可口,直頭係秋高氣爽」,換個心態再掙扎,進入另一階段嘅意色樓近年重新活躍於舞台上發射本我的訊號,不論新舊樂迷繼續為之驚艷。
以暴烈結實嘅 post-hardcore 架構為底蘊,搭上具有文學節奏嘅低吟吶喊,而主唱梁穎禮演繹「唱歌」呢回事嘅方式,又有心將詞義與歌意兩者區間,既如梅迪斯@識你佳所講「字詞亦只是黏附在聲線上的寄生品」,又如樂隊自我介紹所寫「音符跟文字吵架」,矛盾衝突得嚟爽歪歪。聽意色樓若果唔打開對耳成件事咁聽,就好似用iPhone睇 David Lynch 一樣咁錯配,係要現場用全身皮膚去聽live先最啱數。今次有意色樓首度參演,喺 Clockenflap 維港旁嘅廣闊環境下與你我他碰撞,究竟會係一場點樣嘅音樂體驗?我哋都很是期待又好奇。
