BIOGRAPHY
IZ是中国音乐史上的异类。
他们是中国乐迷们口耳相传的神秘人物,也是一群沿着哈萨克传统音乐血脉一路狂奔的野马。多年以来,从早期的“哈萨克民谣”“民族音乐”“世界音乐”到后来的“哈萨克工业摇滚”“实验摇滚”,IZ 乐队不断地重新定义着自己的疆界,最终踏上了义无反顾的孤独之旅。
他们的音乐充满着午夜的呓语、被解构的古哈萨克史诗碎片,雄浑干裂的器乐音效被来自未来的异域节奏裹挟,推动他们朝着未知的黑暗低头潜行。
“IZ”是哈萨克语“脚印”的意思,语义虽然简单,却预示着这支天才乐团的宿命:不断探索,不断改变,但永远都不会抵达。
IZ is an outlier in the history of Chinese music.
They are mysterious figures passed down by word of mouth among Chinese music fans, and also a group of wild horses galloping along the bloodline of Kazakh traditional music. Over the years, from the early "Kazakh Folk Songs," "Ethnic Music," and "World Music" to the later "Kazakh Industrial Rock" and "Experimental Rock," the IZ band has continuously redefined its boundaries, ultimately embarking on an unwavering solitary journey.
Their music is filled with the murmurs of midnight, fragmented ruins of ancient Kazakh epics, and the majestic and cracking instrumental sound effects are engulfed by exotic rhythms from the future, propelling them to bow and delve into the unknown darkness.
"IZ" means "footprint" in Kazakh, a simple semantic concept that foretells the destiny of this genius band: constantly exploring, constantly changing, but never reaching a destination.
