Carsick Cars name their album by the Arabian number “3”, not just for the literal simplicity; for them, “3” is the most appropriate expression: the three-piece recorded their third full-length album in March.
Recognized as the one of the best noise/experimental rock bands, Carsick Cars continue to explore the possibility in the structures and textures of classical rock music. Sometimes blasting, sometimes crystal-clear, the band retains its grace at the rough edge of their brutal guitar riffs. Their simplistic bassline creates a full vital body to their music, along with the fierce and intricate drum and gong, their rhythm section completes the three-piece to unify pleasing sound with their pioneering spirit. The core of their third album “3” sustains the band’s way of observing society with their sharp vision to call for self-awakening in the absurdity of real life. Their songs go: “You in the tube, watching people drive into the dark, and you decide to go forward, to breath this air to capture you”—Wei Chen圍城(Fortress Besieged); “When the weeds are lightened by the wise, the brave follows the flame, the world is no longer your imagination, not a severed fantasy— Ye Ciao野草(The Weed).
“3” was recorded in New York when the two extreme core personalities of the band— guitarist Spacemen 3 and keyboard Peter Kember (Sonic Boom) collaborated with Hamish Kilgour, the drummer of The Clean. The main visual was done by a young artist Kwok Hung Wai郭鴻蔚, and the overall design was executed by Jian Pang詹盼(The Gar). The clash between the two artists will push Carsick Cars’ new album to another dimension that goes beyond the visual.

Carsick Cars新專輯《3》以簡單的阿拉伯數字命名，不僅是字面上的簡潔明快，對於他們來說，選用“3”作為唱片的標 題，也是最合適的表達：由3個人組成的樂隊於3月份錄製 的第3張全長錄音室作品。
這支被譽為中國最好的噪音/實驗搖滾樂隊在傳統搖滾三大件所能創造的的聲音質地和結構 上繼續探索不同的可能性。時而咆哮如火焰，時而透澈如水 晶的吉他於粗礪中不失優美，秉承極簡點線的貝斯所創造的 低音飽滿富有活力，熱烈綿密的镲與堅實的鼓點鋪墊出風格 強烈的節奏組，三件樂器的搭配讓那些聽上去順耳的音調與 他們先鋒的本色保持著高度的一致。在核心思想上，《3》 也延續樂隊一貫的作風，用敏銳的視角觀察社會，於荒謬的 現實中呼喊自我覺醒，如專輯中《圍城》這首歌裡寫的，“ 你在鼓樓地鐵裡/看著人潮向黑暗中駛去/ 而你決定要走上去/ 呼吸這空氣便可得到你”，以及《野草》的歌詞所表達的“當 野草被智者們點燃/勇敢的人便跟隨著火焰/ 世界不再是你的想像/不是支離破碎的幻想”。
《3》在紐約錄製完成，由兩位極具個人風格的樂隊核心人物——Spacemen 3樂隊的吉他&鍵盤手Peter Kember (Sonic Boom)和The Clean樂隊的鼓手Hamish Kilgour共同製作。主視覺藝術則出自青年藝術家郭 鴻蔚之手，整合設計依舊由嘎調樂隊的詹盼操刀，兩隊藝術 家的合作對撞也將專輯的感官維度擴展至視覺層面。
