专辑介绍：
那曾有过的伤疤 让人生就此勇往直前
◎ 4项葛莱美音乐奖提名、3座告示牌音乐奖肯定，美国钢琴摇滚乐团2012年全新第三张创作大碟
◎ 出道十年，团员各自经历人生的跌宕起伏，此辑尤其强调乐团的主体性，带领歌迷体验他们曾有的伤口，如今留下的尽是岁月的疤痕与故事
◎ 力邀曾为布鲁斯史普林斯汀、珍珠果酱和尼尔杨等操刀的制作人Brendan O'Brien掌舵监制
来自美国丹佛，2002年成军的The Fray，由钢琴/主唱Isaac Slade、吉他手Joe King、鼓手Ben Wysocki、吉他手Dave Welsh四人组成。回首这十年，他们各自经历了人生的跌宕起伏，但对他们而言，最重要的是乐团仍在，那些曾有过的伤口，如今已都愈合，留下的疤痕与故事，也就此展开。《Scars and Stories》是The Fray继双白金专辑《How to Save a Life》、同名专辑后，第三张全新创作大碟。对他们来说，疤痕的意义犹如地图，标示了你曾经走过之处，某种程度也指引著未来的方向。
与前两张专辑不同的是，The Fray这次的制作人是曾为布鲁斯史普林斯汀、珍珠果酱和尼尔杨等操刀的Brendan O'Brien掌舵监制，他让创作过程一向斟酌严密的The Fray，此回来不及理性思考，就跟着当下的直觉与本能前进，在这张专辑中，The Fray表现出在黑暗中毫无掩饰的自我，在全速行进时擦爆出的火花。这样的探索过程，对音乐人来说更是一大成长，也让The Fray完成这张勇敢突破自我的作品。专辑开场的〈Heartbeat〉创作灵感来自Slade一趟南非、卢旺达之旅，旅途中，太多令人心痛的场景，当他打开心扉，遇见的却是许多很棒又很酷的人事物，因而写下这首歌。在〈Run For Your Life〉、〈48 To Go〉等摇滚重节拍歌曲后，〈Be Still〉以优美的钢琴伴奏，如圣歌般悠扬结束。The Fray如今的心境一如〈The Wind〉里，那迷失却对未来充满盼望的水手，某天在黑暗的大海上醒来，不知自己身在何方，只能拥抱自己的迷惑——船已经向远方出发，总有一天会到达那未知的岸。
The critically acclaimed Denver-based foursome The Fray will be releasing their third album Scars& Stories. The band's 2005 double-platinum debut, which featured the hit single 'How to Save a Life,' garnered critical praise from People Magazine, who called the album 'addictive.' The first single off Scars & Stories is 'Heartbeat'. The album was recorded at the legendary Blackbird Studios in Nashville. The Fray was able to hone their sound with the help of producer Brendan O'Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, and Neil Young). On the new recording, the band transforms their real life experiences into a collection of songs that are reflective, but still maintain a pop sensibility. The making of Scars and Stories fostered the most evolution the band has ever experienced, both lyrically and musically. The Fray is Isaac Slade (pianist/vocalist), Joe King (guitarist/vocalist), Dave Welsh (guitarist), and Ben Wysocki (drummer). The group achieved national success with their first single, 'Over My Head (Cable Car),' which became a top ten hit in the U.S. The release of their second single, 'How to Save a Life' brought them worldwide fame, and the group's second self-titled album debuted at number-one on the Billboard charts and was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album. The Fray was ranked #84 on Billboard's 'Artists of the Decade' in 2010.
