“这个时代每个人都像座孤岛,在汪洋中各自漂泊,任凭海水冲刷恣意带走所有过去,照单全收洋流的喂养直到无以复加。悲鸣不需要语言,活著不等于存在,我们就伫立在汪洋之中,相互遥望。”
群岛成立于2015年台湾,团名取自位于澎湖的渔船船名,ARCPLG 则来自群岛一词英文学名Archipelago音节缩写。双主唱配合五人编制,后庞克为基底辅以变奏混合多样曲风元素的全创作乐团。群岛以变拍、复合性编曲风格见长,在旋律上,期待每一次的创作都能有新鲜的听觉体验,歌词内容则专注于观察到的当代风景和自我认同等,期望借由音乐来表现群岛风格的世代语言。
ARCPLG, an abbreviation of Archipelago, is a name inspired by a fishing boat they saw in Peng-Hu county, Taiwan. This duet-vocal band consists of five band members. Other than the influence of Post-Punk, they also mix their music with variations in rhythm and elements form other music genres. Their lyrics focus on the observation of contemporary society and self recognition, hoping their music could represent the generation of themselves and giving out a brand new hearing experience with their every artworks.
