暌违三年 ，香港乐队Stranded Whale将发布大碟《The Revival》。 10首新歌，一改首张专辑《Northern Tower》的城市民谣形象。 2016年，乐队获邀参加台湾嘉义觉醒音乐祭，并举行巡演期间，与当地室乐组合Cicada合作。于台北112F Recording Studio录制，近九分钟的〈Grey〉，开启了由清新原音转向更沉重幽怨的方向。去年香港独立厂牌Sweaty & Cramped，亦为乐队发行限量七寸黑胶《Why Don't You?》，以及黑暗又迷幻的音乐录像〈Sunday's Over〉，音符间都展示乐队受到另类摇滚、电子音乐和爵士乐的影响。 The ten-song album signifies the transformation of the band, from urban folk to alternative, within three years. The Revival features Grey, a song collaborated with Taiwanese chamber group Cicada during the band's tour in 2016. The album also highlights two songs, Why Don't You and Dies In A Room, from a limited edition of 7” lathe-cut “Why Don't You?”, which is distributed by indie label Sweaty and Cramped. In 2017, a dreamy and obscure music video of Sunday's Over was released, which demonstrated the band's avid interest in alternative, electronic and jazz. The whale has voyaged from the sea and plunged into the deepest ditch.
