用 17 歲的徬徨向前邁進
如果曾被 2011 年 Youth Lagoon 單純的憂鬱迷惘打動，或許這張 Noah Kittinger 在 17 歲時發行的專輯，也能用同樣青澀而真摯的歌曲，讓你回想起當時徬徨的自己。
來自美國鄉村音樂重地田納西州，Noah Kittinger 以直白的 Bedroom 為名，和大部分的年輕創作者一樣，他將在自己臥室製作的歌曲上傳，跨出了第一步。當半隻腳踏進現實世界的瞬間，不可避免的變化、一切的未知和最壞的情況都迎面而來，《Grow》圍繞著青春時期的種種成長痛，「Sorry, I cant change」的呼喊穿過憂鬱的背景，唱出整個年輕世代的無力感。
幾乎每首歌都從民謠感溫柔的吉他指彈開始，極簡主義的打擊樂，慢慢加進合成器的嗡嗡聲。純熟中散發著真摯的情感，大概是每張能在人心佔有一定位置的專輯共有的特徵。而〈Hurry, Get up〉和〈Hide〉的歌聲乍聽之下像 Beach Fossils，加入 Jade Lawhon 合聲的〈Drift Away〉也讓人想起了 Youth Lagoon。
早晨或睡前躺在床上，凝視天花板思考人生時，或許《Grow》不能一拳把你打醒，讓你瞬間醍醐灌頂想通一切，但絕對是能用共鳴來默默陪伴你的 placebo。(小苡)
Bedroom is the recording project of Nashville, Tennessee songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Noah Kittinger. In 2013, at the age of 17, Kittinger wrote and recorded his second full-length album, Grow, in his bedroom at his parents house in Spring Hill, Tennessee, using only one microphone and the light version of Studio One Pro. The dreamy lo-fi album quickly became an internet sensation, garnering over 43 million streams on Spotify alone. The first pressing of 500 was originally released by Furious Hooves Records, and sold out quickly. Danger Collective Records remastered the album for this second pressing of 1,000, which arrives just in time for Grow s eight year anniversary. Kittinger returned to the Bedroom project a few years ago and has continued making music under that name through his 20s. He is currently finishing up his fourth album.
