about

《折叠故事》是法兹乐队的第五张全长专辑，在原先后朋克音乐中融入迷幻元素，画面感十足。这张有着完整概念的专辑，灵感来源于乐队成员和身边朋友经验的融合，用10首歌描绘了一个普通人出生、成长、出走，探寻人生道路的故事。
“Folding Story” is the 5th full-length album by FAZI, which incorporates psychedelic elements into the band’s previous post-punk style, creating strong imagery. This album has a complete concept, where the inspiration comes from the experiences of band members and friends. The 10 songs in this album depict the story of an ordinary person from being born, to growing up, running away, and finding their way in life.

法兹乐队联合艺术家神思远（Jin Shien）合作，以专辑中的10首歌为蓝本，拍摄了45分钟的“折叠故事”实验音乐影像，由此提出“专辑电影”的全新概念。“专辑”意味着区别于单曲MV的模式，将《折叠故事》整张专辑作为整体进行全长拍摄。“电影”意味着10首歌构成完整全貌，这是一部实验性质极强的影像作品，希望能够为大家营造听专辑时视觉层面的可能性。
FAZI collaborated with artist Jin Shien, using the 10 songs as a blueprint to create a 45-minute experimental music film, putting forward the brand-new concept of an “album film”. “Album” differentiates from single-song music videos in that it incorporated the entire album into a full-length shoot. “Film” means that the 10 songs construct a complete picture. This is an extremely experimental video production, and we hope to create the possibility for everyone to listen to the album on a visual level.

故事有美丽的开始，我从妈妈肚子里就开始冒险，好奇地来到这个世界。童年的自卑让我羞于表达，我变得孤独并锋利。成长中我追逐欲望，也试图弄明白爱，时常感到困惑，自己像卡在嗓子里咳不出来又咽不下去的异物。我做过很多梦，虽然不相信愿望都能实现，但依然会许愿。
All stories have beautiful beginnings, I started my adventures from my mother’s womb, curious about the world. Feelings of inferiority as a child made me ashamed to express myself, I became sharp-edged and lonely. Growing up I chased after desire and tried to figure out love; I often felt confused. I felt like a foreign matter in my own throat, one that I could not cough out or swallow. I’ve had many dreams, although I don’t believe that they can all come true, I will still make wishes.

慢慢地我发现，我在追寻通向自我的道路，没有人能指明这道路，也没有人知道，无论是妈妈爸爸，爱人朋友，或那些智者们。
Slowly I’ve come to realize that I’m trying to find the way to myself. No one can point me in a direction, no one knows how or where; not even my mother, father, lovers, friends, or wise men.

脚跟接着脚尖，我就这样一直往前走，目光如炬，路边的风景开始后退，里面有愤怒、有痛苦、有悲伤、有自负，我放下了那部分的自己，但不会忘记。
Heel after toe, I continue to go forward, eyes like blazing torches. The landscape is retreating, there is anger, pain, sadness, and conceit, I let go of that part of myself, but I won’t forget.

很高兴你们听到这十个故事。”
Glad you can hear these ten stories.”
