影子Kolengke by IZ

2011年中国独立音乐界最值得期待的声音，马木尔和IZ乐队的新专辑《影子》。这张融合了民族、工业、前卫、后摇滚等各种因素的专辑将为听者带来颠覆性的听觉体验。
　　来自新疆的哈萨克族音乐家马木尔在2002年组建了IZ。在多年的摸索中，马木尔经历了对自己的否定之否定，而IZ乐队也“从一支哈萨克民谣乐队转变为一支尖锐黑色的前卫摇滚乐队”。
　　抱着精益求精的态度，马木尔和IZ乐队在《影子》的录制期间数度推翻重来，经过长达近一年的时间，终于制作出这张堪称当代经典的专辑。《影子》专辑为人们展现了一幅斑斓而广阔的当代音乐图景。而冬不拉、库布兹等民族乐器与铁箱子、电风扇等非常规打击乐器的碰撞更创造出独特的音响效果。

This is Iz’s classic album Kөlêngkê (meaning “shadow” in Kazakh). Arguably the most well-known work of Mamer’s group projects, the album was recorded in 2010 when Iz was in the middle of transformation from a Kazakh folk group to an avant-garde music project under various contemporary influences including industrial, progressive, and psychedelic rock. The album took almost a year to record during which Mamer decided to start all over several times. In Kөlêngkê, the band mixes the acoustic sounds of traditional Kazakh instruments, such as dombra and kobyz, with distorted electronic effects and harsh metallic percussion. Drummer Zhang Dong assembled his own kit, replacing snares and cymbals with barbed wires, a giant caged iron fan, and various metal scraps collected from factories. The result is a bricolage of dark, rusty, and confrontational industrial sounds underlying the traditional Kazakh surface, a forceful and sincere anti-world-music type of “world music”.

Recorded in 2010, Originally Released in 2011, Reissued on Cassette in 2015
