Wood/Wate简介
4th full length from the popular band, produced by Stephen Street, who is known fro his work with The Smiths, Blur & The Cranberries. For fans of Jayhawk & Wilco. 2002.
Perspective is something that Milwaukee quintet The Promise Ring know a lot about. Over a couple of years and records they had climbed steady up the indie ladder in the US with their sensitive take on rock. And when they released their 1999 slice of poppy perfection 'Very Emergency', it seemed they were destined to become very big very quickly. But life had other plans.

Singer Davey von Bohlen was diagnosed with a brain tumour the size of a fist, and while it was removed and found to be benign, he developed a post-operative infection which required more surgery. More than enough to make anyone wonder about the value of verse/chorus/verse, but this story has the best and bravest of endings because The Promise Ring have made a truly great album.
Whereas their previous creations planted them firmly in the Emo camp, 'Wood/Water' sees them grow far taller than anyone could have expected, creating an atmospheric and deeply reflective record, which means more to you by the minute. Produced by Stephen Street, the man behind many of The Smiths' records, 'Wood/Water' has some of the most beautiful arrangements you'll have heard in quite some time, the gentlest of guitars and the most straight from the heart sentiments.
It's a testament to The Promise Ring's talents as writers that there's only one real singalong song here - the why-should-anyone-join-a-band? musings of 'On the Floor' - but its 11 other companions are every bit as compelling. Listening to von Bohlen's lyrics, it seems that many are thank you notes to life and whatever and whoever crosses his path, there's an empathy on this record that goes far beyond what you've been conditioned to expect.
You could single out the gospel-tinged redemption of 'Say Goodbye Good' and the crush-you-in-a-second beauty of 'Become One Anything One Time' as standouts, but that wouldn't do you, or The Promise Ring, any favours, because 'Wood/Water' sits as an experience, and one of the most life affirming you'll have this or any other year. This record will save you from just about anything. And that includes your worries.

Wood/Wate是The Promise Ring这个流行组合的第四张全长专辑，由参与The Smiths, Blur和The Cranberries专辑制作而出名的Stephen Street担任制作。
来自密尔沃基的五人乐队The Promise Ring了解到很多关于前途的道理。在两年和两张唱片后他们凭借自己感性的摇滚尝试稳稳地登上了美国优秀独立乐队的行列。当他们1999年发行完美的'Very Emergency'专辑时，看上去他们注定很快会变的很收欢迎。但世事难料。
歌手Davey von Bohlen被诊断出患有拳头大小的脑瘤，当肿瘤被去除并被发现是良性后，他遭受了术后的感染，为此需要做更多的手术。但这个故事有其最好和最勇敢的结局，因为The Promise Ring做出了一张伟大的专辑。
虽然他们之前的创作将他们定位为Emo，在'Wood/Water'中他们比任何人想象的都成长地快，创作出一张有良好氛围和深刻反应的唱片，对你来说意味着很多。由参加了The Smiths'众多幕后工作的Stephen Street担任制作，'Wood/Water'有一些你将会听到数次的最巧妙的安排，最美妙的吉他和最直接的心灵情感。
这是对The Promise Ring词曲创作天资的一次考验，只有一首真正的歌唱聚会歌曲--'Get On the Floor'。其他十一首歌十分引人注意。听von Bohlen的歌词，看上去许多是对生命的感谢之辞以及他生活道路上遇到的事和遇到的人，这张唱片中有一种***鸣，是你从前所不能体会到的。
你可以唱出突出的带有福音味的实践'Say Goodbye Good'和一下子就吸引你的'Become One Anything One Time'，但是这不能足够让你和The Promise Ring满意，因为'Wood/Water'是一种经验，也是今年或者以后任何一年你会有的对生活最佳的确认之一。

=====================================
The Promise Ring简介
The Promise Ring was an American band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In their early years, their music was usually classified as emo, but their later albums could be described more accurately as indie pop. The band was started in 1995 as a side project by Davey von Bohlen during his time as a guitarist/vocalist for Cap'n Jazz. VonBohlen started the project alongside guitarist Jason Gnewikow of None Left Standing, drummer Dan Didier of Ceilishrine, and bassist Scott Beschta.
1996 brought their first full-length album, titled 30° Everywhere, released by Jade Tree Records. The record was followed by 1997's Nothing Feels Good, which gained the band a larger following and rave reviews. The Horse Latitudes, which collected early tracks that were previously released as 7"s, was also released in 1997. After a change in bass players, 1998 saw the release of the Boys + Girls EP, which was released on both compact disc and 7", with the CD containing an additional song. In 1999 they furthered their success with the release of Very Emergency, which concentrated even more on their pop sound. The Electric Pink EP, released in 2000, however, failed to gain critical acclaim. Following their final release in 2002, titled wood/water, The Promise Ring decided to move on to new projects, like Von Bohlen's and Didier's new band named Maritime.
The Promise Ring来自美国威斯康辛州密尔沃基。在他们成立的早期几年，他们的音乐被归类为EMO（情绪硬核），但是他们后面几张专辑可以被更精确地描述为流行独立的风格。
在Davey von Bohlen还是Cap'n Jazz（一支朋克乐队）的吉他手兼主唱的1995年，这支乐队开始作为他的附加计划成立了。Von Bohlen和来自None Left Standing乐队的吉他手
Jason Gnewikow，来自Ceilishrine乐队的鼓手Dan Didier，贝司手Scott Beschta一起开始组成了乐队。
1996年他们发行了第一张全长专辑《titled 30° Everywhere》，由Jade Tree唱片公司发行。1997年他们发行了专辑《Nothing Feels Good》，这张专辑给乐队带来了更多的支持
者，同时受到了好评。收集早先以7"s方式发行的歌曲而成的专辑《The Horse Latitudes》也在1997年发行。在更换了贝司手后，1998年发行了EP《Boys + Girls》，这张EP同时以光盘和7"的形式发行，其中光盘包含了一首附加曲目。1999年他们更取得了更进一步的成功，发行了专辑《Very Emergency》，The Promise Ring在这张专辑中比以往更注重于流行的层面。但是乐队2000年发行的EP《Electric Pink》没有取得好评。在2002年发行最后一张专辑《wood/water》后，The Promise Ring决定转移到一些新的项目上去，Von Bohlen's和Didier的新乐队《Maritime》就是一个例子。
