Engineers

Engineers于2003年在倫敦成立, 由四人組成.成立之初, 成員之一的主唱Simon Phipps的一席話仿佛就表明了他們的決心, 也暗顯他們的不平凡之處: “我們是不同的, 我們的歌不會(huì)和The White Stripes相同, 也不會(huì)和Coldplay類似, 準(zhǔn)確的說我們不和任何人或者樂隊(duì)相同, 這不是我們故意這樣, 這只是我們要走下去的路.” 他同時(shí)說到, 他們相信歌曲的本質(zhì)會(huì)比風(fēng)格重要太多.
Engineers are a British dream pop-rock band, composed of Simon Phipps (vocals/guitars), Mark Peters (vocals/guitars/bass), Dan MacBean (guitars/keyboards), and Andrew Sweeney (drums).
Engineers formed in London in 2003. The band's sound is often described as a mixture of psychedelia, shoegazing and post-rock, though they themselves claim their influences range from The Cocteau Twins to Curtis Mayfield[citation needed]. Sweeney has remarked that "We've always said if more people started taking acid we'd clean up."
They were signed to the Echo record label, and the band recorded and released the Folly EP in September 2004. The EP featured the singles "Come in Out of the Rain" and "Forgiveness" (which the band would re-record for their debut album), as well as a cover of Tim Hardin's "If I Were a Carpenter." Their eponymous debut album followed in March 2005, preceded by the top 50 single "Forgiveness" in February. Later in 2005, they recorded a version of Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren" for the 2005 tribute album Dream Brother: The Songs of Tim and Jeff Buckley.
