Ukufa kweKhabhu yeCutie kuya phambili ngaphandle kukaChris Walla. Ukufa kweCab yeCutie ngokuqinisekileyo yi-hipster band yoqobo. Yenziwe emantla eSeattle kwiminyaka eli-18 eyadlulayo, eli qela lavala umsantsa phakathi kwelitye le-indie nelomculo elinamagama anemibongo kunye namazwi ahlabayo omntu ophambili uBen Gibbard Ngokumka kunyaka ophelileyo welungu leqela elisekayo, ikatala kunye nomvelisi uChris Walla, eli qela labetha ubuchule bokuyila. Kodwa, ngelixa urekhoda i-albhamu yakhe yesibhozo, Kintsugi , yafumana imbono entsha yoonyana evela kumvelisi u-Rich Costey-kunye namanye amalungu amatsha ebhendi.
Kubalandeli bexesha elide, Kintsugi isenokuvakala ngathi kukuthobela ii-albhamu zakudala ze-Death Cab ( I-Transatlanticism, izicwangciso, into malunga neenqwelo-moya ). Ibhendi iyaqhubeka nokuthanda kwayo okucingayo, nokuvuma izibongo; umculo ugeleza njengenoveli ebhalwe kakuhle, uxelela isahluko sakutshanje seqela kakuhle. Kintsugi (igama lobuchule baseJapan bokulungisa izinto ezenziwe ngodongwe ezaphukileyo kunye ne-lacquer kunye negolide) lithwala i-undertones enomtsalane (iibhaladi ezinje ngokuba unditsalele bonke uBomi bam kunye noLwandle lweBhinary) ezilinganisiweyo zizinto ezingaphezulu (Akukho Gumbi kwiSakhelo, iMimoya yaseBeverly Qhuba). Kodwa ngelixa ubumnyama buxhaphakile-into ebonakalisa le minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo kaMnu. Gibbard, eyaphawulwa ngokuba ngumlingisi oqolileyo nowaqhawula umtshato uZooey Deschanel — ukuba ujonga kufutshane, uyakubona ukukhanya kwelanga kudlula.
Inkqubo ye- Umjongi Kutshanje ndithethile noMnumzana Gibbard malunga nokusebenza ngaphandle kukaMnu Walla, ukubakho kwenye irekhodi solo kunye nokuqala ngokutsha.
Kintsugi uhlonipha indlela Uhambo lwaselwandle ibe nefuthe elikhulu kuluntu lomculo. Ngaba kukho ukufana apho?
Ndicinga ukuba ayiyondawo yam ukuthelekisa iirekhodi zethu neerekhodi ezindala. Ndiza kuyishiya loo nto kubantu abafana nawe, endiyithandayo. Ndiva ngathi kukho umsonto odibanisa ezi rekhodi zimbini kunye. Ndivakalelwa kukuba ezi ngxelo zimbini zivulekile, zinyanisekile kwaye ngamanye amaxesha zibuhlungu. Ndicinga ukuba ndiye ndaqonda kule minyaka idlulileyo ukuba ezo zizinto abantu abazitsalela kwezona ngoma zibalaseleyo ndizibhalayo. Amaxesha endiye ndaphambuka kuloo nto, abalandeli bebengonwabanga kwaphela ngezo ngoma okanye iirekhodi. Akukho namnye kuthi owakha wenza isigqibo esithandekayo ngathi, Masenze irekhodi esasenza kwiminyaka eli-10 eyadlulayo, kodwa ukuqina okungapheliyo kokuba liqela ebelikade likho kukude sihlale kukunyaniseka kwinto elungileyo esikuyo Ukutyhala imida yokwenza izinto ezintsha. Ndingathanda ukucinga ukuba siphumelele ngokufanelekileyo kuloo nto, kwaye ngale rekhodi ngokukodwa.
'Ndidlulile kwezinye izinto zikawonke-wonke, izinto ezibuhlungu kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, kodwa kuye kwakho intlawulelo enkulu, ukukhanya kwelanga kunye nokufunyanwa kwakhona kwezinye zezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu kum.' |
Songeze amalungu amabini. [Umboniso ophilayo] uvakala ngathi mkhulu ngoku. Iminyaka, sasihlala sixinekile kwaye sitsala malunga nokongeza umntu wesihlanu ukugcwalisa izandi kwiirekhodi, kodwa ngenxa yezizathu zangaphakathi asikaze sikwazi ukubamba oko. Ngokumka kukaChris, sikwazile ukuwubona umbono esasinawo sobathathu ixesha elithile, ngathi, masizigcwalise ngokwenyani lamagumbi. Sifuna umntu wesihlanu. Zininzi izinto esingazigubungeliyo irekhodi elitsha kuphela, kodwa ikhathalogu yangasemva kuba besingenazo izandla ezaneleyo. Kum, bekumnandi kakhulu ukuba neekatala ezintathu kuzo zonke iingoma zerock. Kuvakala ukuba inkulu nyhani.
Yeyiphi ingoma oyithandayo kwirekhodi entsha?
Ndicinga ukuba bendihlala ndisokola ukubhala ii-choruses. Ukuba ujonga umzimba womculo kwiingoma zeDeab Cab, zininzi iingoma ezakhiweyo ezingabandakanyi ii-choruse eziyinyani. Kukho ezinye, kodwa hayi kakhulu. Kum, xa ndandibhala uLanderer oMncinci, ndibhale le ngoma yomntu obaluleke kakhulu kum, ke bendinayo le nto ndiyithandayo. Ndiyithandile nenyani yokuba inekwayara yokwenyani. Yikhorasi ebendizidla ngayo kwaye nemvakalelo engachazwanga rhoqo. Zininzi iingoma ezibhaliweyo ngokwembono yomculi we-rock osendleleni-uBob Seger unazo ezine zezo ngoma. Ndifuna ukubhala ingoma ngokwembono yomntu osekhaya, umntu olinde umhambi odiniweyo ukuba abuye ekhaya. Ngokombono wam othobekileyo, ndiziva ngathi yile ngoma emele izinto ezincinci endizenzayo kakuhle kwingoma enye. Ndivakalelwa kukuba le ngoma yingoma ye-Death Cab engapheliyo. Abahlobo bam abakhe beva irekhodi bebenjengoko, Owu thixo wam, kuvakala njengengoma yakudala ye-Death Cab. Ndinje, Yinto entle leyo, akunjalo?
