《Chameleon》歌词

[00:00:02] Chameleon-the warlocks

[00:00:07] the warlocks简介：小简介

[00:00:11] 一个奇怪的合作：美国洛杉矶九人Drone Rock/Garage Rock乐队The Warlocks，竟计划

[00:00:15] 在其第二张专辑里找来Andrew Weatherall这位英国DJ兼制作人参与——奇就奇在近年

[00:00:19] Weatherall已甚少现身于别人的唱片里。

[00:00:23] 现在为Two Lone Swordsmen成员的Weatherall，他是英国跳舞音乐界一个甚具性格的DJ兼制

[00:00:27] 作人，要是The Warlocks真的能够得到他出手跨刀，定必成为一时佳话。

[00:00:31] 早在Indie-Dance年代，Weatherall曾为Happy Mondays(Hallelujah)、James(Come Home)、

[00:00:35] Flowered Up(Weekender)等乐队炮制过经典的Remixes；他监制过的专辑更寥寥可数，

[00:00:38] 只有Primal Scream的Screamadeliea和One Dove的Morning Dove White两张而已。

[00:00:46] 后来他希望专注于其乐队The Sabres Of Paradise的发展而淡出幕后工作，在Sabres解散

[00:00:50] 后他则跟Keith Tenniswood组成Two Lone Swordsmen。

[00:01:08] Indeed, it's been a long strange trip for Warlocks leader Bobby Hecksher since

[00:01:24] his band played their first gig on July 4th, 1998. Hecksher, who moved to

[00:01:33] California from Florida in the late '80s, formed his first group shortly after

[00:01:38] arriving. Charles Brown Superstar issued two singles and two full-length

[00:01:49] albums before calling it a day. Hecksher was later invited to play on Beck's

[00:02:07] Stereo Pathetic Soul Manure (Flipside), then -- along with James Ambrose

[00:02:15] -- formed Magic Pacer, who waxed two albums for Win Records before Hecksher

[00:02:33] splintered off to do his own thing. Over the course of several years and

[00:02:45] many personnel changes, Hecksher eventually formed his eight-piece band,

[00:02:57] calling them the Warlocks, a moniker that had been previously used by early

[00:03:19] incarnations of both the Velvet Underground and the Grateful Dead.

[00:03:24] While no one will mistake them for a Deadhead band, the Warlocks' earliest

[00:03:28] recordings do often sound like they're channeling a fever-soaked Velvet

[00:03:34] Underground (circa White Light, White Heat), while drawing further influence

[00:03:38] from space rock, prog, and Krautrock bands (including Neu! and Hawkwind).

[00:03:42] The Warlocks subsequently emerged as leading lights on the Los Angeles

[00:03:47] music scene in 1999-2000, and in October 2000 Hecksher signed a two-album

[00:03:51] production deal with America's oldest indie label, the Burbank-based Bomp!,

[00:03:56] who issued their self-titled debut EP in early 2001. Hecksher has also

[00:03:57] produced a 16mm short for "Cocaine Blues," which features cameo appearances

[00:03:59] by Hecksher and friends (including Rivers Cuomo of Weezer).
