cool lil songdont really see them as a singles band tbh! stoked for this
― nxd, Friday, 9 November 2018 09:49 (five years ago) link
I like this but it's probably the only TNP song that feels like it might become cloying in time, Field of Reeds was extremely good at avoiding this. You don't really go to them for sweet little melodies.
― Matt DC, Friday, 9 November 2018 10:34 (five years ago) link
I like this. I always found that TNP was sometimes such hard work that the group's music failed to make the impact it could have done if they just reigned it in like 15%.

new album Inside the Rose out 22/3
― ufo, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 17:21 (five years ago) link
and album tracklist:Infinity VibraphonesAnti-GravityBeyond Black SunsInside the RoseWhere the Trees Are on FireInto the FireLost AngelA-R-PSix
i like this track a lot more than "into the fire"
― ufo, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 17:26 (five years ago) link
okay i like that new song a lot. it's very bark psychosis i think? must admit that i'm hoping for some more visceral eruptions of horrible violence on the album though to offset all this lush broodiness

It's very 'Blue' era late Bark Psychosis, esp how the band sounded live, just before they imploded.
― MaresNest, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:38 (five years ago) link
Predictably wonderful, this song

sounding very bark psychosis makes sense, graham sutton's producing again i think
― ufo, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 11:12 (five years ago) link
Not terribly impressed by either new track myself, but I've only listened to them once. I'll wait until the full thing's out to see what their place is in the whole, besides they're probabably growers more than anything
― ultros ultros-ghali, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 15:31 (five years ago) link
I am also underwhelmed tbh
― imago, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 15:41 (five years ago) link
I like both new songs. I like that all their albums sound v distinct from each other.
― resident hack (Simon H.), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 15:42 (five years ago) link
probabably
how and why do i do this
― ultros ultros-ghali, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 15:44 (five years ago) link
what came to mind when i heard it was the Yves Tumour album so maybe that's why imago is underwhelmed
― ufo, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 15:45 (five years ago) link
I got a King Krule echo
― imago, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 15:45 (five years ago) link
If Jack had a better singing voice this band would rule so hard for me but t ain't so, sadly.
― MaresNest, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 18:56 (five years ago) link
I love both of these songs. I also like that the musical vision is exploring a pendulum that's swinging back in the direction of Hidden.
― GDPR vs GAPDY (DJP), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 18:59 (five years ago) link
Big Bark Psychosis vibe here too: not so much a track as a passing weather system. Intrigued to hear it in situ.

plot twist: have now listened again to Noid by Yves Tumor and not only heard this comparison very clearly, but FAR preferred the Yves Tumor song, lol
― imago, Friday, 1 February 2019 16:56 (five years ago) link
I'm listening to a stream of the new album now, and maybe it's the computer speakers or my cold, but it's sort of reminding me of like" Black Celebration" Depeche Mode, weirdly. I mean, def. sounds like TNP, but something kind of industrial about it, less Talk Talk-y? I'm about a third or so in, but need to take a break for other things.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 5 February 2019 22:18 (five years ago) link
that sounds about what i'd expect based on the singles, looking forward to it
― ufo, Tuesday, 5 February 2019 22:21 (five years ago) link
Yeah I've heard a promo as well -- really quite excellent.

they’re actually playing ‘blue’ by bark psychosis, bonus point to maresnest
― kolarov spring (NickB), Friday, 15 March 2019 15:21 (five years ago) link
One more video, which I guess will be the last before the entire album drops next week?

I've heard the new album. The first few tracks have this 80s synth vibe that works well, then it goes soft in the middle, then the last few tracks sound like he's trying to ape Talk Talk. Meh.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Thursday, 21 March 2019 23:53 (five years ago) link
managed to listen to about four-fifths of it on the way in, i think it's excellent. definitely an album album rather than just a collection of tracks. looking forward to giving it a proper listen when i'm not trying to dodge psycho taxi drivers
― kolarov spring (NickB), Friday, 22 March 2019 09:34 (five years ago) link
this is the pop Coil i needed. great album.
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Friday, 22 March 2019 11:08 (five years ago) link
then it goes soft in the middle
no way! that inside the rose > trees are on fire > into the fire stretch is glorious
― kolarov spring (NickB), Friday, 22 March 2019 12:42 (five years ago) link
After the first listen: As someone who was severely underwhelmed by all the singles, it really does work better as a whole, but they might have done that annoying thing where the first track is easily the best
― like him hate us? Sure you are. Its in the cool aid. (ultros ultros-ghali), Friday, 22 March 2019 13:27 (five years ago) link
OK it doesn't achieve the huge step up in quality that their other albums did, but it is actually rather good. It sounds glorious at least, as expected. Stronger vocals would have helped but I can't complain too much.
― like him hate us? Sure you are. Its in the cool aid. (ultros ultros-ghali), Saturday, 23 March 2019 14:29 (five years ago) link
This was both better and worse than I expected
― PPL+AI=NS (imago), Saturday, 23 March 2019 14:46 (five years ago) link
Well it's not as good as Field of Reeds, that's certain. I'm still deciding how much the production carries this one
― like him hate us? Sure you are. Its in the cool aid. (ultros ultros-ghali), Saturday, 23 March 2019 15:14 (five years ago) link
it absolutely pales in comparison but it's obviously shooting at a far lower target
― PPL+AI=NS (imago), Saturday, 23 March 2019 15:14 (five years ago) link
Did they hire a new vocalist?
― pomenitul, Saturday, 23 March 2019 15:24 (five years ago) link
file under useless/irrelevant trivia but i had no idea until i saw the albums credits that george barnett was married to pixie geldof. i remember seeing bob geldof at their show at the barbican in 2014 and wondering why he was there

Majestic. Best album I have heard this year, so far, I cannot stop playing it. It's so utterly Bark Psychosis, but in the best possible way. And that bass! That bass. Magnificent.

I have never listened to these guys before, but I really like the new album. Will be checking out the older stuff.

This is great, but is it very short or is that my imagination? Seemed to be over as soon as I was getting into it

9 tracks and 40 minutes.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 27 March 2019 12:34 (five years ago) link
I'm not getting Bark Psychosis from this at all, though; it sounds like TNP boiled down to an essence, for me. Possibly slightly too much; it's slipping by me without leaving an impression quite a lot, which may just be my life and how much time I can give to it right now. I feel like it's lacking some... drama? Or tension, somehow? A little of the oddness of the last two records?
