幻滅情歌 Love Songs in Disillusion est une de ces perles cachées dont WV Sorcerer a le secret. Seule œuvre (en tout cas d'après mes recherches) de 王子健 Wang Zijian, cet album est, comme le décrit si bien le label, un mélange inclassable hors du temps au carrefour entre freak folk et trip-hop. Le spoken word poétique utilisé par l'artiste fait passer un sentiment de nostalgie indescriptible — et ce alors même qu'il chante dans sa langue natale — qui me rappelle celui dans Anastasis de Dead Can Dance.
Favorite track: 列寧在扭曲的時空中引述唯心主義 Lenin Elaborated Idealism in Twisted Spacetime.

▼WV029&063: 王子健 Wang Zijian - 幻滅情歌 Love Songs in Disillusion
Previously released only on cassette tape, sold out really fast, now we have the chance to make this reissue on vinyl format. Album is entirely remastered by Thomas Stadnicki (vinyl version & streaming version as well), and we have added the English translation of the lyrics, with courtesy of 韋瑋 Wei Wei/Vavabond (VagusNerve, Mind Fiber).
Imagine the atmosphere of Twin Peaks' "Falling" combined with a lo-fi guitar & synth tune, a landscape from the abandoned industrial ruins of Dagang Oilfield (beach of Bohai Bay), China.
王子健 Wang Zijian is a lo-fi freak folk / spoken word musician. A beam of light in the misty night, a drop of blood on the grey ocean waves, a piece of poetry left on the wasteland.
For fans of early weird noisy folk releases on P.S.F. Records and some kind of haunting music you can not classify.
