猛走，方言，意为快跑。潮汕一带，客死异乡者，亲眷接灵返乡时高喊此语，以便死者魂灵能速归乡里而不至于迷失，类同魂兮归来。 作为野草寮的首张专辑，《猛走》意在呈现传统与现代杂交的生活图景，十首曲目环环相扣，连缀成为一部人的迁徙史。迁徙即出走异乡，在当代语境里，出走是新的日常，但野草寮试着用一张唱片，记录和呈现他们在崭新日常中对异乡与原乡的观照。 《猛走》并不猛，因为它的叙事如此平常，像一杯放置在故乡庭院木桌上温温的水，但这种平常仿佛被某种机器从现代化的进程中抽离了，使它显得又有些遥远，这是《猛走》欲呈现的矛盾，一种过去的现在性，或者相互混杂的时代面貌。 专辑脉承潮州古调，以民谣手法演绎，用旧手法提新问题；古调内核，民谣皮相，而点缀其间的噪音实验，则是用旧事重提的方式作当代回应。旧事重提是暗涉出走之后的困境——在信息平原下与世界的交锋；但这仅仅是景观的一半，另一半未明之言则是指向一种由迁徙带来的后现代农村症候群。 作为一种民谣叙事，它相对克制，不至以滥情聒耳；作为一种地域白描，它却内含现代脸谱特征。 至于猛走之后怎样？留与诸君作答。 录音、混音及母带处理 ：刘英 录音：刘美妮 制作及编曲：野草寮 唱、作词及作曲：林书盛 木吉他、噪音吉他：林书盛 琵琶：刘芸 木贝斯：吴伟钊 卡宏鼓、和声：许温和 锣鼓打击乐：李逸腾 口风琴：李逸腾、许温和（6） 文案：高微钦 歌词翻译：夏东 设计：他山做法 书法：任旭东 录制于刘英工作室 录音时间：2024.01.28--2024.06.16 Rush Off, a dialect term, means to run fast. In the Chaoshan region, this phrase is shouted by the relatives of those who have died in a foreign land when they are bringing the deceased's spirit back home. This is done to ensure that the soul can quickly return to their hometown without getting lost, similar to the phrase "souls, return home." As the debut album of the Ye Cao Liao, <Rush Off> aims to present a hybrid landscape of traditional and modern life. The ten tracks are interconnected, weaving together a migration history of people. Migration means leaving for a foreign land; in the contemporary context, leaving has become the new norm. However, Ye Cao Liao attempts to use this album to document and present their reflections on both foreign lands and their homeland in this new daily life. <Rush Off> is not rushed, because its narrative is so ordinary, like a lukewarm glass of water placed on a wooden table in a hometown courtyard. Yet this ordinariness seems to be extracted from the process of modernization by some machine, making it appear somewhat distant. This is the contradiction that <Rush Off> aims to present: a past present, or the mixed appearance of different eras. The album inherits the ancient Chaozhou tunes, interpreting them in a folk style, using old methods to address new issues. With ancient tunes at its core and a folk exterior, the noise experiments that embellish it serve as a contemporary response by revisiting old matters. Revisiting old matters subtly refers to the dilemma after leaving--confronting the world on the information plains. But this is only half of the landscape; the other half of the obscure discourse points to a postmodern rural syndrome brought about by migration. As a form of folk narrative, it is relatively restrained, avoiding excessive sentimentality. As a regional sketch, however, it contains modern facial features. As for what happens after rushing off? That is left for you to answer.
