Lansing-Dreiden-The Incomplete Triangle:Album Of The Year?

thanks for the heads up!

of course i can't help but want the song "tri" to keep going for another five minutes.

Thanks for the head zup.

Ultimately, The Incomplete Triangle is exactly what Lansing-Dreiden claim it is: Art. But I have to tell you, I don't spend a lot of time listening to Art. I listen to Music

(Dying here)

Grabbing new EP now!

psyched for this, thanks

"I Disappear" is amazing, kind of Studio-ish.

but not really. What does it sound like? 80s RnB?

Cool, that was pretty good. Looks from the website like their little art collective has been quiet for the last couple years.

hmm....weird...i think i like this...i all i've heard is this EP...i sort of don't know what to think because to me it sounds not like a three song EP by one band, but a three song mix of three different bands!

That's what their albums sound like too, but adjusted for scale (well, especially Incomplete Triangle).

I Disappear sounds kinda like these tracks (some might even say balearic, shh):

Yeah M@tt if you like that their albums are for you.

so do any of the L-D fans here also like Violens? It's two, or maybe more, of those guys, non-anonymous style. More 80s British influences dominate but I have been listening to their EP a lot.

I didn't know about them, but I'm checking out their myspace now. Doesn't interest me as much as Lansing-Dreiden, but then some of their stuff has had to grow on me. I like it a bit, and I hear a little more than just an 80s approach in the melodies and harmonies, so that's a plus, but it's not as hard to place as L-D often is, I think.

on the whole they are not as intriguing as L-D but they have well constructed songs. This might be my favorite (it's not on the ep)

violens bores the shat out of me

"disappear from here" is brilliance. need more new stuff from them.

I like this EP but I need more. And I think Lansing-Dreiden's albums benefit from the cumulative effect of all tracks (although that doesn't fit in too well with my lack of enthusiasm for the last few tracks on Incomplete Triangle--but even those have grown on me a bit).

listening to "laid in stone" now. love this album

dividing island sounded great last time i listened to it (about a month ago).

sweet. didn't they only release one single on vinyl?

if louis doesn't like this band my whole worldview will fall apart

TELL ME MORE

the only one i've heard is Tri, which sounds like, man i dunno a way more fucked up muse with a fast metal drummer on one song, and kinda spark shit on another then like scritti polliti soft rock era shit on another. every song sounds like different band kinda

that sounds fairly promising in a not-quite-mindblowing-but-totally-agreeable way

when I am done inducting myself into the land of cLOUDDEAD I shall seek them out

Are L-D comparable to These New Puritans?

ok listening to the SECOND album (because the first isn't on Spotify) and jeez this is odd

and good! like, i can't place it, which is generally always a good thing

it SEEMS quite 80's, but couldn't possibly BE 80's, if that makes sense

yeah that basically sums it up. it's the 80s through one dude's very weird filter

altho my fav part is in the first song where they just turn into the who for a couple minutes

the middle-order one-two punch of 'part of the promise' and 'our next breath' is *magnificent*

actually the second half of this record is shaping up to be exceptional

there is some stuff from the first album on youtube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF8QLVadUJs

both albums are great and worth owning. and, yeah, their sound can be disorienting. like, you know you've heard it, but not quite...

it's one of the weirdest things i've ever heard - it's not conventionally weird or wacky - it isn't fulsome in its otherness. i just find it unfathomable how these sounds came together like this. in a good way.

HAHAHAHA look at the Seward post I just found!

as time passes - and that whole post-post-post-80's thing fades from memory - they just sound weirder and weirder to me. in a good way.

SNAP

Glass Corridor is excellent! Although less mysterious than the stuff on the second album.

new violens single. album comes out in october? something like that. new single is kind of a mix of Go West, Kon Kan, and Springhouse. just kidding.

Sounds good, but I like this one even better:

Hoping for more SGINs.

I saw the SGIN, and it opened up my MNID.

guy from violens is in ITP?

LANSING-DREIDEN

The Incomplete Triangle (Expanded Edition) LP
A Sectioned Beam (Expanded Edition) EP
The Dividing Island LP

(US 4/9 and UK 4/22)

Lansing-Dreiden return with three reissues for the first time ever on vinyl and with new unreleased material.

Mexican Summer is excited to reissue the first three records from NYC-based company Lansing-Dreiden on April 9th (UK April 22nd ). Originally self-released, and later digitally and on CD between 2004 and 2006 through Kemado Records, these three records: The Incomplete Triangle LP, A Sectioned Beam EP, The Dividing Island LP - have been re-mastered, expanded and pressed to vinyl for the very first time and include unreleased material, including a sprawling 15-minute track, “Seaside”, which has been added to the EP.

wonder why indie fans go batshit over stuff like tame impala and the national rather than this. sad, really.

“The Incomplete Triangle” was played in our house every day for over a year. It somehow made the war in Iraq more understandable.” – Kurt Heasley / Lilys

weird how they were originally on Kemado, but have been shifted to the related Mexican Summer

my kids go to bed listening to the 2nd album every night. not my doing either! its weird to hear that album playing from upstairs every night. still sounds great too.
