不优雅先生第二张录音室专辑《阴天王国》，已于年初发行。两位互联网产品经理与一位音乐早教老师，攒了攒各自的假期，这趟七城巡演终于成行。此次巡演，将完整演奏新专辑的曲目，及部分《常青树》专辑中的经典老歌，除早已默契的三大件演奏曲目之外，现场将通过特邀音乐人参演或技术手段，力争还原新专辑中更为多元化的器乐编配。

在首张专辑发行五年后，不优雅先生终于发布了历时一年多制作的第二张正式专辑 —— 《阴天王国》。

《阴天王国》一共收录 11 首单曲，不优雅标志性的悦耳旋律，在这张新专辑中继续体现得淋漓尽致。清丽的编曲、朗朗上口的副歌， “ 好听 ” 是不优雅先生们从未丢掉的特质。

这张专辑，由 No Beijing 运动标志乐队 Snapline 成员李青担纲制作人，作为音乐领域的先锋艺术家，李青与乐队的合作，恰到好处地兼具了前卫与悦耳，使专辑呈现出颇具特质的独立青年之声。

在这张专辑中，不优雅选择全中文创作所有歌词。经历更多沉淀之后，乐队认为中文作为母语，更能完美阐释创作者微妙丰富的情绪和意境，这些精心写就的歌词，完整地展示了乐队的精神世界。将中文的韵律和节奏与乐队的风格进行融合，并不是一个水到渠成的过程，最终历经一年多的精心打磨，他们通过这张专辑准确表达了内心。

双主唱和默契的和声，早就在演出中成为不优雅的标配，新专辑中，他们继续放大了这种特质，通过和声呈现出更加丰富的层次感。不仅于此，相比五年前，这张专辑在配器上也呈现出了更多的可能性：李增辉在《黑色维纳斯》中富含爵士风格的萨克斯演奏，《变化》、《明日世界》中加入了小号、圆号与弦乐等元素，这些在创作之初就迸发出的编曲灵感，最终在录制当中完美呈现了乐队的构想，带来更具回味和深邃的听觉感受。

乐队曾在《红星 20 号》纪念专辑中，翻唱了经典老歌《干杯朋友》，此次专辑录制，他们重新制作并收录了这首歌。坠入深井般的混响演唱、悠扬的口风琴、团簇密集的失真和滑棒吉他演奏，这首老歌经过不优雅的别具一格地精心演绎，成为一首充满迷幻风味的 Shoegaze 作品。

对乐队而言，不优雅先生不曾用风格限定自己，在创作态度上始终坚持独立。从少年步入青年，世界终结并非轰然巨响，而是一声叹息。和所有人一样，他们在继续普通的过活，经历挫折和喜悦，然而隐藏着并不意味着背叛。他们活着并继续忠于内心，疲于奔命但也未停止创作，这张五年磨一剑的专辑，有他们对世界的全部热情。

The second studio album of Mr. Graceless“Midway To The Sun” has already been released at the beginning of 2017. The band members, two Internet product managers and one early childhood music teacher put together their vacation and finally made the 7-city-tour come to reality. The band will perform the whole playlist of their new album and some classic old songs in the former album “The Tree Ever Green”. Along with the traditional three pieces songs exhibiting the band’s chemistry, the live gigs will reproduce the diversified instruments layout in the new album featuring guest musicians and special technics.

5 years after their debut album, Mr. Graceless has gone through a year of recording and finally released their second studio ablum “Midway To The Sun”.

The album features 11 singles, exhibiting the signature melody, fresh breeze of arrangement and catchy chorus of Mr. Graceless. Melodic is the characteristic which Mr. Graceless has never given up.

Member of Snapline, the leading band of the No Beijing movement, Li Qing took the role of producer in this album. As one of the pioneer artist in music industry, Li Qing provided a unique sound of independent youth while working with the band, mixing the feeling of progressive and melodic.

In the album, Mr. Graceless wrote all of the lyrics in Chinese. After years of experiment, the band has come to the conclusion that the only way to perfectly express the delicate emotion and artistic conception of the songwriter is by the use of their mother tongue. These meticulously written lyrics display the whole body of the band’s spiritual world. It is not an easy path fusing the rhythm of Chinese with the band’s original atmosphere. But through a year of polishing, they precisely expressed themselves in the album.

Double vocalists and tactic harmony have already been standard settings in Mr.Graceless’s gigs. The kept enriching this trait and created a much more plentiful sense of layer in the new album. Comparing to what in 5 years ago, the new album has shown more potential in terms of instruments: Li Zenghui played jazz style saxophone in “Black Venus”, elements of trumpet, horn and strings have been added in ‘Change” and “Tomorroworld”. These inspirations came in the early stage of songwriting were eventually realized in the final recording and brings a profound sense of hearing.

The band has re-mastered the song “Cheers, my friend” which was included in the commemorative album “Red Star No.20” in the first place. The song was reprised by Mr.Graceless with deep-well reverb vocal, melodious harmonica and slide guitar and became a Psychedelic style Shoegaze song.

The band has never limited themselves with genre and stays independent when it comes to songwriting. The world of juvenile ends with no explosion but a silent sigh. They live in a normal life just like everyone else, experiencing tears and joy. But bear doesn’t mean betrayal. They are still alive and following their hearts, tried of earning a living but never stop writing. The album contains their passion for the world .
