擱淺的鯨魚--孤單、無助,卻是擺脫海洋的唯一機會。成團於 2015 年春天。

There’s a temptation to regard the band name Stranded Whale in solitary and melancholic terms. The phrase brings to mind a certain sadness, either of the band itself or the perpetually in-crisis independent Hong Kong music scene. But perhaps that feeling is exactly what the five-piece folk-rock band is attempting to counter.
The group is composed of five skillful, experienced musicians of various musical backgrounds. Ardent proponents of the local indie scene should be familiar with their music as the band are already regulars at Kwun Tong’s Hidden Agenda, and have performed at a slew of music shows, including the Made in Hong Kong Music Festival and Oneness: Charity for Nepal Concert. Now comes the release show for their debut album, Northern Tower.
When it comes to their music, the band are vaguely reminiscent of recent Radiohead, playing a warm tinged strand of progressive pop. Their music is never the sort that tears stereos and rocks out to heavy beats and fraught vocals, or even formulaic structures and catchy rhythms. Rather, Stranded Whale are happier obfuscating the nature of their songs.
If the music industry in Hong Kong is a deadly ocean, then a stranded whale is not necessarily an unhappy victim, but rather a fighter in pursuit of survival. The song Killer Whale, composed by vocalist Jabin Law, illuminates the outlook behind the band. Filled with despondence upon a cursory listen, more careful consideration can interpret the song as an ode to freedom and escape from the dark ocean, representing the group’s emphasis on breaking down the existing stereotype in the local music industry.
Their debut album contains eight songs that blend electronic sounds with folksy backing vocals, conjuring up a delicate atmosphere. “Without the audience, everything is just meaningless noises and light shows,” the band writes. Get yourself into their songs, stir your imagination and let the music take you away.
