Florence Foster Jenkins | zh

Foster the People是一支独立流行乐队来自加利福尼亚（California）的洛杉矶（Los Angeles）。这支乐队第一次演出是在2009年的10月，那时他们才二十多岁。 他们用一首《Pumped Up Kicks》征服了美国各种类型榜单的前10。乐队的音乐类型以电子为主音，独立电子风格的“80s synth-meets-’60s psych pop”。 他们自从2010年推出首张同名EP，便受到了无数乐迷、尤其是女Fans的狂热追捧。乐队共有三人组成：Mark Foster、Mark Pontius以及Cubby Fink。 他们也会利用一些商演的机会，在表演中融入更多元素，更丰富的新复古曲风。 有时，还会邀请来精于吉他，键盘，合音的Sean Cimino和Isom Innis来担任Live秀的客串乐手。Cimino在专辑《Torches》中的单曲《Waste》中负责演奏吉他，而Innis在专辑中的工作却是未知的，可能因为对专辑的贡献不大，所以没有在专辑中记录他的工作。 Zach（采样，制作人，编程，电子鼓点，音乐特效，少数和声）直到2011年初还是乐队的成员，然而他却和乐队主唱Mark Foster分别作为单曲《Miss You》的作曲和制作人出现在专辑中，这说明他现在可能更专注于一些幕后工作，比如制作某些单曲，而不经常出现在现场表演中。 Heiligman作为一个作曲人、MC以及Mark Foster的好朋友，与Mark Foster在Foster the People组建前后进行了一个嘻哈音乐计划。 Mark Foster一开始叫自己的乐队“Foster & the People”但是人们都误听成了”Foster the People”。最后，他就取了foster的“培育”之意，将乐队名字定为“Foster the People”。 2010年初，Foster the People在互联网上发表了他们的第一首歌《Pumped Up Kicks》。几天后，它成为了评分朋友的时尚视频，又几天后，它出现在Hype Machine，一年后，它似乎进入了数百万世界各地听众的耳朵。在South by Southwest音乐节上表演更是让他们逐渐走红。 2011年5月24日，乐队因违反合同以及其他指控被卷入了与Brandon Dorsky的一起诉讼，这起诉讼在2011年7月结案，结果不明。 乐队最著名的一首歌是《Pumped Up Kicks》，到达Billboard另类歌曲榜第一名，摇滚歌曲榜第三名，以及Hot 100榜单第8名。这首歌曾于2010年8月31日在电视剧《十三号仓库》的第二季第九集中出现，也曾在英国手机公司的广告中出现。 总而言之，当你了解这支乐队，以及听过他们的作品以后，你一定会为他们所痴迷，不仅仅是因为他们的才华，更重要的是他们对于音乐的那种创新型的表现力，以及对音乐风格的积极进取和探索。 .

Jon Jenkins is primarily a musician in the electronic/ambient genre. "I've always been fascinated by the ability of a good piece of music to stimulate the imagination and transport the listener to another place in their mind without ever leaving their chair. Growing up, I listened to a lot of music like Pink Floyd, Genesis, Marillion, Peter Gabriel, and Tangerine Dream because they always made albums to be experienced rather than just listened to, and they all maintained a nice balance between power and space. I couldn't get enough of that stuff, so I just started to create the music...
