Rose Melberg

Rose Melberg，羅斯·梅爾伯格是一個音樂家和作曲家。出生于薩克拉門托，加利福尼亞州，目前定居在溫哥華，不列顛哥倫比亞省，加拿大。她既是獨立藝術(shù)家又是Tiger Trap的成員，其他成員還有 The Softies，Go Sailor，Gaze，Gigi，Imaginary Pants，Brave Irene和Knife Pleats。

梅爾伯格是由工作的音樂家撫養(yǎng)長大，并于1991年在華盛頓奧林匹亞舉行的國際流行音樂地下大會高中畢業(yè)后，她與全女性組合Tiger Trap幾乎立刻取得了成功。這個轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝的樂隊在獨立流行音樂界贏得了狂熱追隨者。繼Softies解散，她生下了一個兒子，住在一起，她的丈夫和家人近溫哥華，加拿大。她帶著她的第二張個人專輯Cast Away the Clouds回到流行音樂世界。梅爾伯格短暫地巡演了這張專輯，其中包括Belle和Sebastian的現(xiàn)場開場。2006年，她演出 North East Sticks Together.

截至2011年，她是兩個組合Brave Irene和Imaginary Pants中的一員。

小說到Rose Melberg, 不得不說說Twee Pop. 把Twee Pop比作泡泡糖獨立搖滾樂最適合不過--它的音樂有著D.I.Y的精神,但又蔑視朋克樂的傳統(tǒng)慣例.它有著一種自搖滾樂誕生起就未曾聽到過的直率天真的特質(zhì)。Twee pop的Top Artist有諸如Belle & Sebastian, Cannanes? Softies, Tiger Trap等等，而Melberg最初是Tiger Trap的vocal和guitar,接著擔(dān)任Softies的主唱，后來還跑去Gaze打鼓。98年Melberg發(fā)行了自己的專輯Portola,時閣6年，又推出了這張Cast Away the Clouds. Melberg也許并不算Twee Pop最好的演繹者，事實上，從這張專輯里她身上最后的indie痕跡漸漸移除，Melberg開始成長為真正成熟的Vocalist。Cast Away the Clouds是如此的乾凈，無拘束，稀疏的鋼琴漂浮在吉他中，Melberg天使般甜美的嗓音讓你感覺仿佛她就坐在你身邊，和你一同在云端漂向天堂。

Rose Melberg is indie pop royalty. Beginning in 1992, the diminutive singe

r/songwriter began a streak of classic bands and recordings. First was the riot pop band Tiger Trap, formed in Sacramento, CA, in 1992 by Melberg, singer/guitarist Angela Loy, bassist Jen Braun, and drummer Heather Dunn. They released two singles, an EP, and an influential self-titled LP before splitting in December of 1993. Melberg picked up the pieces and, after relocating to Portland, teamed up with Crimpshrine guitarist Paul Curran and Henrys Dress drummer (and future leader of the excellent Aislers Set) Amy Linton to form Go Sailor. They released three singles and a couple of compilation tracks (helpfully compiled on Go Sailor) before dissolving. While she was playing with Go Sailor, Melberg also began playing with Jen Sbragia in the Softies. Beginning in 1994, they recorded singles for K and Slumberland (two apiece) and three albums for K, including two absolute must-haves for indie pop lovers, 1995s Its Love and 2000s Holiday in Rhode Island. After 1998s Winter Pageant, Melberg married Mint Records owner Bill Baker and moved to British Columbia, where she began playing drums for Vancouver indie pop group Gaze. They lasted for two acclaimed albums, 1998s Mitsumeru and 1999s Shake the Pounce, before splitting. Melberg began working on solo material again around this time (she had previously released My Day on Ks international pop underground convention collection in 1992 and Cupid on a 1993 split flexi single for Slumberland), the results of which were collected on 1998s Portola for Double Agent Records. After the release of Holiday in Rhode Island in 2000, the Softies disbanded and Melberg left the world of music to raise her son. She returned in 2005 with a brief tour of the Pacific Northwest and an MP3 giveaway (through Double Agent) cover of Anne Briggs The Time Has Come. She seemingly took that sentiment to heart and in early 2006 released possibly the best record of her career, the enchanting Cast Away the Clouds.
