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

"Eternal Lie" sounds like an Ariel Pink outtake

The last couple of tracks on this...dying for proper drums

New song from Regal Degal:

I think this has a Lansing-Dreiden quality to it. An 80s post-punk take on 60s fuzz rock for the 2010s.

My humble L-D playlist:

Just discovered the song 'Disenchanted'. Wow - did 80s pop really sound like this? I rather suspect this is, in some ways, an improvement. It's like an actualisation of a particularly nostalgic dream. Incredible.

im more into this album then i was before i like how the last songs all sound like new order

Right - I don't really like New Order (let's not have a tedious calling-out session, just accept it, move on) but these songs are amazing. I don't know what the extra ingredient is - probably something ethereal in the melodic construction - really massy, expansive, ornate...

fwiw Disenchanted was somehow bettered by Desert Lights, which is a creation wrought from purest magic

L-D dude Jorge Elbrecht's new band is called Coral Cross, and he describes their music as choral thrash. The single "The Coldest Steel Across Your Face Slides" def has some metal in it, still not as good as L-D.

holy shit I had L-D in my head as I opened SNA just now

The new one goes to an interesting place in the middle that I wish was the whole song. Metal seems an odd choice for him.

yeah, seriously, the last four tracks of The Incomplete Triangle achieve electropop perfection in a way I can't even begin to describe. they'd make one of the greatest EPs ever made

Jorge has teased some new L-D in the future on his twitter

they'd make one of the greatest EPs ever made

oh shit they DID release it as an EP, except without 'Disenchanted' (p much their best song full stop) and with something called The First Response, which I'm listening to now. the tricksy bastards

yeah Disenchanted is much, much better than this. why, L-D, why? it doesn't even matter

Disenchanted is fast becoming one of my favourite songs of the last 10 years, it's a miracle imo

it's like 80s pop, but 'taken to new levels', lol

best thing is, it actually came out 11 years ago, whoops

Love this one :

Jorge Elbrecht produced and sounds it:

(I just learned his name, actually.)

There's just enough of a bite from "Are Friends Electric?" in this to make me smile a lot when I hear it without ripping it off wholesale.

New Tamaryn album sounds kind of like mellow L-D with female vocals.

Coral Cross increasingly hitting an L-D spot (for me anyway):

Oh damn. I am a failure at cut and paste as well as everything else.

So the video is really just taken from the Garbage Pail Kids movie (I guess?). I had no idea. Not something I grew up with.

it's a fine film.

listening to the vinyl reissues. sound so cool. i love some of the fucked up production but there IS a part of me that wonders what it would have sounded like if they had had crazy money to make the incomplete triangle. the songs are so good. would have loved multiple freestyle mixes and edits of I.C.U.

Agreed. Jorge is the man. From his Insta account, I think he just started work on the next No Joy album.

why didn't anyone tell me about 'Seaside'!? it's easily their best song and it's criminal that it was only ever released as a bonus track on the Sectioned Beam reissue

Criminal but somehow fitting.

Have never heard this before but it sounds great so far.

Maybe a little too much like Lansing-Dreiden doing a Lansing-Dreiden imitation, though that description sounds like something appealing as well.

i never had the sectioned beam cd so when i got the vinyl i probably didn't know it was an added track. otherwise i would have told you.

I worry about how many drugs Jorge Elbrecht is doing (but maybe that's all wrong).

That dude used to be a manager at the Oyster Bar

That Ott review of this record is still infuriating. I love this album.

Jorge Elbrecht has a new album. It's very LD!

cool!

bumping cuz everyone should listen to this

ooh thanks for the tip

His trio of songs with Ariel pink a couple years ago are my favorite things of his

OK let's do this

Segue between first two tracks was so smooth I didn't notice it

Is this...prog?

i like this one from last year...

this could almost be an L-D track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pNue_9c0ao

Those are bonus tracks on the Spotify version I think!

This album is quite something except for a lull 2/3 of the way through

yeah, i would totally buy this cd. if there is a cd to buy.

some of the vocals can do that meandering thing that is less than memorable. but that's not a deal-breaker for me.

vinyl is already sold out. oh well.
