Hedgehog have outdone themselves with their latest, expanding their sound into pop territory like never before all the while maintaining their noisy psychedelic-tinted  rock n’ roll sensibilities. It’s this balance that turns Phantom Pop Star into perhaps the indie rock group’s best work to date. From the electronic backing in ‘DDDDDDreaMMMMMM’, to the dual vocals that propel ‘Phantom Pop Star’, to the subdued cello work on ‘Paintings’ and ‘Star Shine’, every stylistic choice surpasses its mark, as the band utilizes every trick and nuance of their sound to elevate their dreamy pop world. Most notable is the increased presence of Atom on vocal duties, which complements the soft ethereal temperament of the album so perfectly. Might just be 2014’s first true singular pop album. Give it a listen on douban and preorder it over at bandcamp. "

停止吧不安的一切
在金色世界褪色之前
召唤我

呼啸而过的时间
蓝色少年也消失不见 
为什么

未知如枯黄飘落叶
理想躲藏在现实的后面
颤抖着

被噪音渲染的浮华世界
和所有关于明日的请愿 
已过时了

武器是时间与音乐
敌人是自己与世界

身体包裹着爱与夙愿
上升着燃于天际之间
炫目着

灿烂的一切源于毁灭
已不在乎是非的界限
结束了


Stop it，all the worries
Before the golden world faded
Call me

By the flying time
Blue hair boy also disappeared
Why this

Tomorrow like shed leaves
Ideal hiding behind the reality
Shaking

Noisy vanity fair
And all the petition of tomorrow
Has been out of date

The weapon is time and music
The enemy is yourself and the world

The body wrapped in love and dream
Rising and burning at the horizon
Dazzling

Everything comes from destruction
Never care about the limit of right and wrong
It is over

（演奏曲）

(music only)

她在月光下
She is under the moon
裙丝忆无瑕
Her skirt still as immaculate as I remember
世情似零花
Worldly affairs hurt（like falling flowers）
萧风随雨刮
During the turbulent times (Wind breezing in the rain)
她在月光下
She is under the moon

而年俱无怕
Fearless in his life
吾父鬓白发
But father’s hair turning grey
泣斥逆子呐
Rebuking his rebellious son with tears
朝日见虎牙

她在月光下
She is under the moon

今夜
Tonight
奇空闪烁处
Where the stars twinkling
我与谁对话
And who I am talking to
不要离开啊
Don’t leave here please 
她在月光下
She is under the moon
她在月光下
She is under the moon
她在月光下
She is under the moon
她在月光下
She is under the moon

音乐晃 一切随风飘荡 
Music sways, everything blowing in the wind

忆昔往 当爱已成迷墙 
Memory knocks, When love has become a wall 

心雨浪 热情漫溢盼望 
Heart flutters, with hope and overflowing passion
明日漾 愿景如梦幻想 
Tomorrow comes, like a dream vision 
岁月淌 白日梦散夕阳
Time lapse, daydreaming dashed at sunset

风铃响 暖风拂滤心房 
Bell rings, warm wind blows into heart

抬头望 星夜月已树上 
Look up, Starry sky with the waxed moon 

明日狂 逆子日上戎装
Future amazing, the bad boy is on his way
