Delayed Reaction

On July 17th, Minneapolis rockers Soul Asylum return with their first new album in six years, Delayed Reaction. The band’s tenth studio LP is their first with 429 Records and also the first without original bassist Karl Mueller, who passed away in 2005. Now, the lineup includes founders Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy alongside bassist Tommy Stinson (of The Replacements) and former Prince drummer Michael Bland.
Produced by Soul Asylum and overseen by John Fields, Delayed Reaction, according to a press release, “bristles with the tightly wound, slightly ragged vibe that characterized the band when they emerged straight out of Minneapolis.” It was recorded across the country in Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Minneapolis, which injects the LP with “a unique backdrop of local culture vibe.”
To support the release, the band will hit the road this summer, so stay tuned for a complete itinerary. In the meantime, check out the album’s tracklist below, including past recordings of Reaction tracks “Gravity”, “Into the Light”, “Let’s All Kill Each Other”, “Cruel Intentions”, and “I Should’ve Stayed In Bed” shortly after.
Soul Asylum，成立于1983年的另类摇滚乐队，成立时乐队奠定的风格是暴躁的朋克和硬摇滚风格，在当时美国众多的此类型地下乐队中并没有脱颖而出，乐队的几张专辑也并没有引起怎样的轰动，由于长期排练和演出中巨大声响的侵害，主音吉他兼主唱David Pirner〔大卫.皮尔纳〕的耳朵失聪了，然而即使如此，他也并没有放弃对音乐的执著追求，而且因祸得福，他们开始排练一些原声的作品，却取得了无以伦比的成功。1992年，他们推出的一张专辑《Grave Dancers Union》〔凄惨舞者联盟〕，一张深沉而不失柔情的原声专辑刚一登榜就引起了从乐评者到普通乐迷的巨大惊喜，专辑中的很多作品都是经典之作，而《runaway train》〔迷失列车〕更成为世界级的摇滚经典。这首《runaway train》堪称Soul Asylum的扛鼎之作，这是首描写失踪儿童问题的作品，在清脆干净的吉他、不动声色的鼓点伴奏下，主唱皮尔纳沧桑沙哑的嗓音从喉底或者说从心底吟出最深沉的悲愤与控诉，悲伤和愤怒的极致通常不是血泪泣诉或狂吼一气，而是近乎平和的，淡淡的陈述，而这却更容易渗入听者的心底。心随着略含悲意的音乐起伏，似乎看到了失去亲生儿女的母亲那无助、失神的目光。
