Still think Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons was their high point--I feel like that record has so much more in the way of varied dynamics than the last two
I bought Melody of... at their gig last night, and have already listened to it twice. I know exactly what you mean about variety of rhythm, pace etc. [That's pace, not Pace by the way.]
The live experience has improved a great deal since the last tour. More impassioned, greater variety of material, more hairshaking from Kazu!

i love 'publisher' so much that i've forgotten what the rest of the album sounds like.

Eh I think I'd subconciously decided I wouldnt go anyway.
― Trayce, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 06:34 (sixteen years ago) link
haha that happens. i've missed many shows that way...just recently dinosaur jr., clutch etc.
― Charlie Howard, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 06:36 (sixteen years ago) link
excellent show, btw
well paced, with very effective means of recreating the lush studio sound

in short -- great band, great new record, great discography, great live show, etc.
i'm seeing a double bill in Austin in a couple months -- an 800 capacity club, with Blonde Redhead and the National co-headlining together -- that i'm really really really looking forward to already.

Been listening to this LP a ton lately. This band has got their shit together on so many levels. Truly an engaging aesthetic experience. Very sorry to have missed them in SF back in april or whatever.

i always felt that they write these albums that sound like varied "a clockwork orange" soundtracks. the horns, synths, and esoteric guitars are very reminiscent of sometihng as dark and sexy as that film.
i would also like to add that the "lead" guitar line in "Spring and By Summer Fall" is so great, so jazzy. i love it.

"SW" has prob been my most played track the last ~6 months
― johnny crunch, Thursday, 10 May 2012 19:19 (twelve years ago) link
that's up right now!

i never was able to get into the most recent one, i should give it another go.

the last one was a bit of a snooze iirc

yeah it didn't grab me....what they do is always on the *verge* of being kinda boring but somehow they've managed to make it magical most of the time
― Bandersnatch Cumberbund (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 10 May 2012 19:30 (twelve years ago) link
the last one was more than on the verge of boring actually. big come down off the previous three or four albums. it's pretty and all but not memorable.
― akm, Thursday, 10 May 2012 22:27 (twelve years ago) link
haven't listened to this in forever. Going to give it ago now. Think it may bring back to many memories of putting it on cdrs for girls I was into that weren't into the kind of music I was.
