｜霧海 Wu-Hai｜
《 霧海 Wu-Hai 》 是落差草原WWWW 的第三張EP，〈沒有形狀的獸〉由低音lo-fi的聲響開始，像是在夢中將某種意識之門打開，一男一女的齊唱一句短詩在兩套鼓及笛子的牽引之下交織腳步，吉他、合成器鋪陳的兩種氣體中，在各自的霧中小徑抬頭尋找著，往上前進；進入〈眼林〉之後，鼓聲一下像是墜入一片紅色的湖水瞬間，突然穿透進入第二層意識，持續暈眩、原地飛舞，強烈部落感的鼓擊混入Fuzz吉他組成的獨特曲式，表現出特有的迷幻氛圍，在細雨般清澈的〈冷夢〉撒下，張眼沈思，情緒逐漸冷靜，故事準備好即將走進尾聲，來到標題曲〈霧海〉；由細碎的敲打、鈴聲領路，輕聲低吟，彷彿準備好提起身子，踏出緩慢且肯定，逐漸輕盈浮起的腳步，在feedback聲響與台灣民間送葬曲般的旋律不斷迴流，意識與記憶不斷充滿，目送逝者在生死邊界上最後的徘徊，向其告別，通向烏有宛如道出辛波絲卡的〈旅行輓歌〉，迎接曲終。
發想於台灣原住民的處境，這張EP的故事更包含了團員的生命歷程，宛如三階段的儀式，尋找、墜入與循環，透過深入黑暗的自省與回顧，寫下這階段性的旅程。
“Wu-hai” EP, it will collect three songs led by double drums rhythm and collaborate experimental sound and psychedelic rock. It will be a brand new record and jam session work fully composed by complete story concept.
“Shapeless Beast” starts from the lo-fi drone sound. A door of certain consciousness seems open in the dream. “Moon” Leading by two drums and a flute and collaborating with guitars and synthesiser, a man and a woman are chanting together a short poem searching and going forwards from their individual mist paths.
After entering “Eyewood”, as falling into a reddish lake, a drum beat suddenly penetrates into the second level of consciousness. Being dizzy consistently and dancing at the same place, a unique rhythm with a strong tribal drum beats and fuzz guitar provides a special trippy ambience.
Withdrawn from the clear rainy “Callous”, contemplate with open eyes, emotions calm down gradually and stories are ready to go to the end.
Lastly it comes to the title rhythm “Wu-Hai”. Tapping finely and following the bell ring, we sing softly and seem to be ready to get up and step out slowly, lightly and assertively. Feedback sounds and folk funeral melody of Taiwan are unceasingly playing. Filled with consciousness and memories, we watch the dead doing his last lingering around the border, farewell to the dead and enter the void which end the stories just like that of “Travel Elegy” written by Wislawa Szymborska.
The EP derives from the stories of aboriginals and also life experience of Prairie WWWW‘s members. By three-phase ceremonies – searching, involvement and recurrence, this journey is so written through deep profound introspection and reminiscence.
