欲望之心

《欲望之心》是法兹乐队即将于7月发行的第三张全长录音室专辑。 这张专辑的录音过程非常特别，乐队更愿意称其为一个音乐项目，它是一张在路上完成的唱片：在法兹2016年《童心之源》专辑发行国内巡演的43个城市中，乐队选择了其中5个城市来录制这张即将发行的唱片《欲望之心》。一边巡演，一边录新专辑，就这样，乐队用4个月的时间完成创作，在台北、厦门、大连、武汉、西安5个城市完成了《欲望之心》的录音，期间还邀请了5位不同的音乐人合作，最终形成了这张特别的唱片。

这张专辑的主题是时间，与法兹以往的作品相比较，不是节拍本身，而是整个音乐氛围奇妙地被拉长拉宽，好似一颗奋力搏动的心在做一次缓慢深远的回忆，或者说，就像潜水一样。 欲望、谎言、爱恨、隐忍、回忆和遗忘，这些分别是歌曲具体的主旨。而这些歌曲，和以往的一样，都是“余生中最年轻的歌”，其中的坦率丝毫不减。

法兹的音乐希望带你重新返回生活之中。 他们布置宽厚的、优美的、丝绒一般的声场，歌唱伴随着翻滚流畅的律动和时而涌上心头的美妙旋律。他们独特的能力是：让听众即刻就听见私人生活的痕迹。但这种痕迹不是自私的，它被包含在歌曲营造的更大的意象之内，如此，你非常容易地被引回自己的生活之中。

这张专辑最终记录下的声音是在回应时间的流动，是坚守生活的原始样貌。欲望是箭和靶，轮流交替，时间给每一个幻想的实体不停的排列堆积，而远方在不停交割繁衍更多的土壤下林立凡分。

单曲《谎言中谎言》

法兹乐队2017年新专辑《欲望之心》的首支单曲《谎言中谎言》将于6月27日在虾米音乐发布。这首歌是法兹巡演至大连时，在回声书店录制的，惘闻乐队的吉他手谢玉岗作为特邀吉他手参与了这首歌曲的录制。《谎言中谎言》的编曲与法兹以往的歌曲有所不同，乐队开始尝试新的探索，将后朋克内化为更收敛含蓄的核心，由此核心向外，延伸出更丰富的可能。
歌词则有关自我的挣扎以及时间的流逝，渴求于困境中获得希望，平和中又带着愤怒，是对我们所处的当下时代与社会洪流的思考与质疑。

FAZI - Heart of Desire

Heart of Desire, which will be released on July 18, 2017, is FAZI's third full-length studio album. The recording process for this album was quite special; the band prefers to call it a "project" rather than an "album".
Heart of Desire is a record from the road: during the 2016 release tour for FAZI's second album, The Root of Innocence, the band selected five cities on their 43-city tour schedule in which to record the tracks featured here. Performing at livehouses across China by night, working on the new album material by day, FAZI spent four months putting together Heart of Desire, laying down the material at makeshift recording studios in Taipei, Xiamen, Dalian, Wuhan, and Xi'an. The band also invited five very different musicians to collaborate on the process, resulting in this distinctive new album.
The theme of Heart of Desire is time; compared with FAZI's previous releases, it's not the beat itself, but the entire musical atmosphere that is pulled and stretched wide, like a heart doing everything it can to bring back distant memories, or like the sensation of a deep dive underwater. Desire, lies, love and hate, tolerance, memory and forgetting — these are the themes presented on the album. Like FAZI's previous material, these songs are "the youngest songs from the rest of life," — their blunt directness has not faded one bit.
FAZI's music hopes to bring you back to life. They've arranged thick and deep, graceful, velvety sounds to adorn this album, pairing emotionally moving vocals with rolling rhythms that rush from the heart of stirring melodies. Their unique ability is to give their audience a sensation of being able to instantly hear the intimate traces of private life. But it is not about selfishness or solipsistic reverie, but rather creating a larger self-image within, drawing you into their own lives and sharing their experiences with the listener.
In the end, Heart of Desire is a record that responds to the flow of time, holding fast to the first appearance of life. Desire is both the arrow and the target, moving back and forth between the two; time gives every fantasy substance in an unending stream, and in the distance delivers an unending flow of flourishing prosperity.

First Single “Lies in Lies”
"Lie in Lies", the first single form FAZI's 2017 album Heart of Desire, will be released on June 27 via Xiami. The song was recorded in Dalian's Echo Library, with Wang Wen guitarist Xie Yugang featured on the recording. The composition of "Lie in Lies" is a bit different from FAZI's previous work: the band explored different styles, expanding from their core post-punk influence to explore a richer set of possibilities。
The song's lyrics are about the struggle of the self against the passage of time, craving hope in the plight, reaching peace through anger; it's about pondering and questioning the torrent of our contemporary times and society.
